How Does Screen Printing Work?
Screen printing uses a mesh screen with a stencil of your design. Ink is pushed through the open areas of the stencil onto the garment using a squeegee. Each color requires a separate screen, which is why simpler designs with fewer colors are more cost-effective. The ink is then heat-cured to bond permanently with the fabric, creating a durable print that withstands washing and wearing.
Artwork Preparation
We separate your design into individual colors and create film positives for each.
Screen Creation
Each color gets its own screen, coated with light-sensitive emulsion and exposed with your design.
Print Setup
Screens are mounted on the press, colors are mixed to match your specs, and registration is dialed in.
Production
Garments are loaded, printed, and flash-cured between colors for multi-color designs.
Final Cure
Prints pass through a conveyor dryer at 320-330°F to fully cure and ensure durability.

5 Tips for a Successful Screen Print Order
Simplify Your Design
Fewer colors = lower cost. We can help optimize your artwork to reduce color count without sacrificing impact.
Leverage Garment Color
Use the shirt color as part of your design. A white design on a black shirt only needs one screen.
Vector Files Are Best
Submit artwork in AI, EPS, or PDF format. Raster images should be at least 300 DPI at print size.
Consider Placement
Standard placements (left chest, full front, full back) are most cost-effective. Custom placements available.
Plan for Bulk
Screen printing becomes more affordable at higher quantities. Our sweet spot is 100+ pieces.
