There are a number of benefits to screen printing, there is a reason why it is one of the most popular printing methods available.

Screen printing results in vibrant colors

• Screen printing results in vibrant colors that pop every time. Unless you request for a vintage screen print, we typically underbase all of our screen prints with a white layer and apply colors on top to ensure vibrancy.

Screen printing services is low cost at higher quantities

• At higher quantities, screen printing is a cost-effective print method.

Screen printing lasts a long time.

• Screen prints are made to last. After a screen print is run through our conveyor dryer it leaves fully cured and ready to be worn, washed and used repeatedly

While screen printing is all around a great printing method, there are limitations that may warrant another printing method.

Screen printing all around a shirt

• Screen printing requires a flat surface for print, which means that we can not print on obscure areas, such as on top of seams, so we cannot do any "all-around print". For prints like these, we recommend sublimation.

Screen printing size

• Our maximum print size is 14 x 17 inches.

Screen Printing more than 8 colors

• Screen printing more than 8 colors is not feasible since our machine only allows a maximum of 8 colors. If you have more than 8 colors, a DTF or Sublimation print is a better option.

Screen Printing a small run of items is expensive

• Since screen printing requires a lot of resources to set up your design, it is usually avoided for smaller runs. For instance, if you do a screen print on the front and back of one shirt, the shirt can cost up to $100 for the order. This is why we recommend different printing methods like DTF printing for smaller runs.

To ensure the longevity and vibrant appearance of your custom screen-printed apparel, we recommend following these specific care instructions.

Washing Guidelines:

• Temperature: Always use cold water for washing. Cold water prevents the ink from fading and preserves the integrity of the design.
• Orientation: Turn your garments inside out before washing. This protects the screen-printed surface from friction with other items and the washing machine itself.
• Detergent: Opt for a mild detergent. Harsh chemicals can break down the ink used in screen printing, leading to fading and cracking.

Drying Guidelines:

• Preferred Method: Whenever possible, hang dry your screen-printed garments. Air drying is the gentlest way to dry clothes, reducing the risk of heat damage and shrinkage.
• Alternative Method: If hang drying isn’t an option, you can use a dryer. However, ensure the garment is still turned inside out to protect the print. Use a low heat setting to minimize potential damage.

Ironing Instructions:

• Direct Ironing: Direct ironing on the screen-printed area is not recommended, as the heat can melt the print, causing it to warp or crack.
• Safe Ironing: If ironing is necessary, always turn the garment inside out to iron the reverse side of the print. This approach avoids direct contact with the print while removing wrinkles.
