The best type of file is any kind of vector artwork. Although if the resolution is good enough, we can work with
any type of image file.
What is the set up fee for screenprinting? We charge $25 per screen and depending on the artwork, there may be an artwork fee as well (artwork fee not to exceed $30)
What's your turn around time? We pride ourselves on fast turnaround times. While each job is different and depends on the speed with which we can
receive the garment/product, we usually can have your order done within 5-10 business days. Many times, much sooner!
What's the difference between screenprinting and transfers? Screenprinting uses plastisol or waterbased inks, via the traditional screenprinting method, which are far more vibrant and durable. Transfers are generally a pigment, dye or solvent ink printed directly from an inkjet printer. The one notable exception is plastisol transfers. Plastisol transfers
are printed onto paper using traditional screenprinting and then later transfered to a garment. Direct to Garment shirts are actually a form of transfer without the paper.
Which is better: 100% cotton or a cotton/poly blend? Most people like the feel of a cotton/poly blend better and they will shrink less. However, unless specifically stated otherwise, we like to use 100%
cotton garments for the majority of our screenprint work. 100% cotton results in far less dye migration and the colors turn out brighter.
Dye migration is when the dye pigments in the garment "bleed" into the screenprinted ink on top as it is heat cured.
Can I have just 1 or 2 shirts screenprinted? Absolutely. But it isn't very cost effective. The same set up fees apply. So if you wanted a 3 color design, it would require 3 screens.
At $25/screen, you're already looking at a $75 shirt not counting art fees and ink and garment cost! For smaller orders such as this
it would be more practical to do some sort of transfer. The quality isn't as good, but it is very affordable.
Do you do more than just t-shirts? Yes! We can imprint a wide variety of items such as mugs, signs, bags, jackets, shorts, phone covers, etc. The list goes on...
