1. Puff Printing. One of the original specialty affects in the world of screen printing, puff ink is a liquid substance that can be converted into a plastic simply by heating. The ink expands when exposed to high temperature heat creating an raised design.

2. Suede Printing. Similar to how puff printing raises the ink, suede printing creates a raised fuzzy texture similar to suede leather.
