Screen Printing Processes

WE PRINT WITH WATER-BASE, PLASTISOL, DISCHARGE INKS, PUFF INK AND FOIL. IF YOU NEED A SPECIFIC COLOR, WE CAN DO A PMS PANTONE MATCH ANY COLOR.

PLASTISOL INK

This our most commonly used printing process and screen print the shirts using one ink color per screen.

DISCHARGE INK

If you’re wanting the feel of the print on the shirt to feel like the shirt itself this process is for you. Discharge describes a reaction that occurs during the curing (drying) process that takes out the current color of the shirt, and dyes the shirt fibers with the colors of your design. There is no ink that remains on the shirt. After a wash you will have a soft hand print. Best results are by using a 100% ringspun cotton shirt. 50/50 shirt blends have worked great also. 

WATER-BASE INK

This process uses an ink with water as the base. Compared to plastisol, water-base is thinner and lighter when printed on the shirt. This would be a great option if you’re wanting a soft hand vintage style print. 100% eco-friendly.

Embroidery

Pricing is based on the total stitch count in your design that it takes to create your image. When you request an embroidery quote please include your design and include a size. A standard left chest 3.5" wide x 2" tall logo usually takes between 5,000 and 8,000 stitches. Please contact us for the most accurate pricing.

CAN I ONLY PRINT 1 SHIRT?

Unfortunately No!  A lot of work goes into screen printing. Starting with your artwork we create film positives. After this, the screens department burns your art (the film) into screens. Next, our printers setup the presses to run the shirts. It takes a good bit of time to setup a press to run shirts.

Our minimum order of shirts for a screen printed order is 12 pieces.
