Printing

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLASTISOL, DISCHARGE AND WATERBASED SCREEN PRINTING?

Plastisol is the most popular screen printing process due to its versatility on different garment types, vibrancy and special effects (i.e. puff, metallic, glow, glitter, etc.)

Discharge is a form of waterbased screen printing that bleaches the originally pigment of the shirts and replaces it with a new design. Discharge is generally used for darker garments, more vintage/distressed style prints, and higher quality fashion brands.

There are some product colors that cannot be discharged. Please consult with your representative.

Waterbase is a soft hand screen print process that lays ink within the fibers of a garment. Strongly suggested for fashion products and designs.

HOW TALL AND WIDE CAN I PRINT?

We offer a very detailed resources page that will provide you information of our print dimensions.

WHAT ARE THE PRINT COLORS I CAN CHOOSE FROM?

We provide different decoration stock colors based on the process chosen (i.e. screen printing, embroidery, etc.) Please check out our resources page for all of our color options.

We require a minimum of six (6) garments per print color change per design. There is a $10 per color change fee

I HAVE A SPECIFIC COLOR I WANT TO USE ON MY DESIGN, HOW CAN I REQUEST THAT?
