Our Printing Options
While the general screen printing process remains the same we offer a wide range of specialty printing and product finishing options to give your shirts a unique visual impact. If there is a specific technique you don't see listed below please feel free to contact us and we will be glad to find a solution.
Standard screen pritning
This is the most common printing technique using standard plastisol inks. The result are bold and vibrant colors that can be accurately matched to any color sample or specific pantone swatch on any garment color. Plastisol inks are 100% phthalate free and hold up to vigorous washings. Even though they are very durable our prints have an extremely soft feel thanks to our high quality screens and expert printing technique. You won't feel like you are wearing a sheet of plastic like low end print shops produce.
water-based printing
Water-based inks have had a resurgence in recent years due to their unique ability to create an extremely soft and almost vintage looking print. Popular in retail apparel lines and the entertainment industry water-based prints instantly give your shirt that comfortable and worn in look. The compromise is color accuracy. Since these inks are less opaque than plastisol they work best on light shirt colors where an exact ink color match is not critical to the design.
discharge printing
For a similar feel to water-based prints on dark shirts we offer discharge printing. Unlike plastisol inks which require a layer of white to be printed underneath lighter inks in order to be vibrant, discharge inks have a special bleaching property that removes the dye of the shirt as the print cures. The result is an ultra soft print with relatively accurate color matching on most dark shirts. Discharge inks only work on 100% cotton garments and color accuracy may vary if printing on multiple shirt colors.
4 color process printing
4 color process or "CMYK" printing is a great solution for full color graphics on white shirts. Instead of mixing inks and making a separate screen for every color in the design this process allows cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks to print wet on wet and blend together to create the full color spectrum. While this process does reproduce photos and fine art remarkable well, it does lack saturation of solid blocks of color. Additional screens and inks may require to accurate match some. colors.
simulated process printing
Similar to 4 color process printing, simulated process printing allows for full color reproduction on all shirt colors. Normally requiring 8-9 screens / inks, simulated process printing is able to hold an extremely high level of detail as well as strikingly vibrant and accurate colors. From a production standpoint this process is very challenging for many shops to execute properly, however we do it every day. With over 20 years of experience setting up simulated process designs our staff welcomes the challenge.
