SCREEN PRINTING (PLASTISOL)
Screen printing with plastisol ink is the most durable of all prints and it also allows for the most accurate reproduction of PMS colors because of opacity of the ink. Screens are used to transfer one color of ink at a time onto the garment. Therefore, spot color works best. You can do a 4 color process similar to paper printing - we use 4 semi-transparent inks which blend together to create the illusion of full color. However, this can only be done on white or very light garments and the result is not as bright or colorful as spot colors.

DISCHARGE PRINTING
Water based inks work well on light garments but not on dark garments. Discharge printing uses water based pigments with special discharge agents that will bleach out the color of the fabric and leave the desired ink color. No white mask is needed on dark garments and the print will feel like its part of the fabric.

OVERSIZED PRINTS
The all over print is gaining in popularity. It is achieved by printing on large scale screens. We can print up to 4 colors using 41” x 42” screens. This can accomodate all over printing of a 2xl men’s shirt.

SCREEN PRINTING (WATER BASED)
Many people enjoy t-shirts with printing that has a vintage or soft hand feel. This is achieved through water based inks which do not have the vinyl feel or the plastisol inks. However, they are not as durable and are more difficult to work with. In addition, the transparent nature of the water based inks limit its usefulness on dark garments.

EMBROIDERY
We can also embroider your designs on hats and garment. First, we digitize your artwork so the embroidery machine knows in what sequence it should stitch your artwork and also what types of stitches to use for the correct look. PrIcing for embroidery is based on the number of stitches in a design. It is the opposite of screen printing where costs increase based on the number of colors not the the size of the image. In embroidery, the size of the image will greatly affect the price.

BURNOUT PRINTING
Burn out printing is an advanced printable chemical that will dissolve natural fibers when heat is applied. We can do washes or all over prints with it on 50/50 fabric that give a desired worn out texture.
