Screen Printing
What is screen printing?
Screen printing is a process where ink is pushed through a screen that has been coated in a uv sensitive coating called emulsion, and burned to a specific design. Each different color of ink is printed through a different screen, requiring multiple screens to be used for multi-colored jobs. All of the screens required for a certain job are aligned (registered) on a press, and ink is pushed through each screen, leaving your design imprinted on a garment, poster, etc.
Ink Types
Our goal is to capture your vision. Choosing what ink types to use can completely change the look and feel of a garment. To help you along in the process, we offered some information on each ink type that we provide.
Standard Plastisol
Plastisol is our standard ink, but it still captures a high quality finish. We use the highest quality plastisol inks that we can get our hands on, and they work great on garments containing 50% or more cotton.
Softhand Plastisol
Our softhand plastisol is a special blend of our standard plastisol ink and soft hand additive. It gives the garment a softer and lighter feel.
Poly
Poly ink is used for garments containing more than 50% polyester. Poly prints turn out just as bright and vibrant as our plastisol prints, and are perfect for high performance sport shirts.
water based/discharge
Water based ink is extremely soft. While remaining bright and bold, water based ink has almost no feel, which is perfect for clients who want to achieve an extremely high quality finish and a more fashionable look.
Finishing Types
Relabeling
Relabeling is when we carefully remove the existing size tag from a garment and replace it with a custom printed neck label or woven label. Relabeling is a great way to take your branding to the next level.
folding & bagging
Folding and bagging not only helps to keep things organized and convenient for packing and shipping, but it adds an extra element to your product that shows attention to detail.
