We understand that screen printing might seem intimidating. Don’t worry, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Feel free to reach out, and we’ll provide the assistance you need.
Screen printing is a technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. It’s often used for t-shirts and posters, but it can be applied to a range of materials.
Screen printing offers vibrant colors even on darker fabrics, durability, and cost-effectiveness for large quantities. It differs from methods like digital printing that is better for small quantities and detailed designs. We can help you with either method, depending on what’s best for your order.
Manual screen printing allows for more hands-on control and adjustments on-the-go. Automatic screen printing uses machinery for precision and speed, suitable for large-volume orders. Guess what? We do both!
Plastisol inks are PVC-based, durable, and give a bright, vibrant finish. They sit on top of the fabric. Water-based inks are eco-friendlier and penetrate the fabric for a softer feel but may not be as vibrant as plastisol. Plastisol is more versatile for more fabric types.
Discharge screen printing uses a bleach-like agent to remove the shirt’s dye before depositing ink, resulting in a softer feel. Traditional screen printing, typically with plastisol ink, sits on top of the fabric. Note that only 100% cotton can be consistently discharged. Other fabrics may give undesired results.
Custom colors in screen printing are achieved through ink mixing to match desired shades, often following Pantone Matching System. Special inks like metallic, glow-in-the-dark, or fluorescent can also be used for custom effects. Special inks can be used for an extra fee.
Ensure your artwork is high resolution (300dpi minimum). We accept various file formats, including AI, EPS, PDF, PSD, and high-resolution JPEG or PNG. Vector files (AI, EPS) are preferred for the best quality.
You can easily upload your artwork HERE.
For best results, design in the actual print size, convert all text to outlines, and ensure graphics are in vector format. For multi-color designs, separate each color into a different layer.
Screen printing cannot replicate gradient colors or extremely detailed graphics as effectively as digital printing. Also, the number of colors in a design can affect the cost and complexity of the process.
We respect copyright laws. You must own the copyright or have appropriate permissions for any images used in your design.
Screen printing can print gradients and halftones by using a process called halftone printing. This technique converts different tones into small dots of varying densities. Photographs can also be printed, though they may lose some detail.
We offer design consultation services to assist in the creation of your artwork. Our team can help refine existing designs or brainstorm new ideas to bring your vision to life.
Standard print locations are full front or back, left or right chest, and sleeve prints. However, we can print in non-traditional locations like collar or hem, if you desire. We’ll guide you in finalizing placement for best results.
