What is Screen Printing?

Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a mesh screen, ink, and a squeegee to transfer designs onto fabric. It’s known for its durability, vibrant colors, and cost-effectiveness for bulk orders. The process involves layering inks to create sharp, long-lasting designs that won’t fade or crack easily.

Benefits of Screen Printing:

✅ Durability – Designs withstand multiple washes without fading.
✅ Vibrant Colors – Inks are bold and highly pigmented.
✅ Cost-Effective for Bulk Orders – Ideal for large runs of shirts.
✅ Versatile Applications – Works on a variety of fabrics and apparel styles.

Our Screen Printing Process

1. Design Preparation

   • Submit your logo or artwork in a high-resolution format (preferably AI, EPS, PDF, or PNG).
   • Our design team reviews and optimizes your artwork for the best print quality.

2. Screen Setup

   • Each color in your design requires a separate screen.
   • We create stencils for precise ink application.

3. Printing & Curing

   • Ink is pushed through the screens onto the fabric.
   • Printed garments are heat-cured to ensure a long-lasting finish.

4. Quality Check & Shipping

   • Every order is inspected for accuracy and quality before delivery.

Choosing the Right Apparel for Screen Printing

Not all fabrics print the same! Here’s what we recommend:

✔ Best Materials: Cotton, cotton/poly blends, and tri-blends for the highest print quality.
✔ Avoid: 100% polyester for standard screen printing (sublimation or specialty inks work better).

Popular brands we work with:

• Bella+Canvas
• Gildan
• Next Level
• Comfort Colors
• American Apparel

Design Tips for Screen Printing

🖌 Use High-Resolution Artwork – Vector files work best (AI, EPS, PDF).
🎨 Limit Colors for Budget-Friendly Printing – More colors require more screens.
📏 Keep Text & Details Bold – Fine lines and small text may not print clearly.
