Screenprinting

Getting Started
Select the type of garments you would like from our store. Determine your budget and approximately how many shirts you will need. Then mail, fax or e-mail your idea or logo and our customer service staff can help you from there.

How Long Does it Take?
Screen printed jobs are completed in approximately 10-15 working days from start to finish. If you need a rush, please ask. We will let you know when your job can be completed.

How About Rush Orders?
Call or email us! We'll work out what is, and isn't possible for what you need and let you know just how much it will cost.

Is There a Minimum Order?
Our minimum is only 12 pieces. You may mix garments to meet the minimums, if you need less than 12, please let us know, we will try to accommodate your requirements.

What is the cost?
Call or email us! We'll get you a custom quote for your order. For screen printing the cost depends on the number of colors used on the garment, the number of imprint locations (front & back), the type of garment and the product. For initial orders, you may also have art charges and pay an initial screen setup fee per color printed.

What is the Setup Fee?
This is a one-time charge which covers making the necessary camera shots and/or outputting your files and preparing the initial screens for printing. We use one screen per color. In most cases the prices include film for our files. For complex artwork there may be additional film charges.

What kind of artwork do I provide for screen printing?

Artwork Information:

You can provide your logo or design artwork in a variety of ways from a printed image, even a sketch. The difference is how much it will cost and how long it will take to be ready to produce your garments. Sketched artwork takes the longest and is the most expensive method. Most of the time artwork is provided in a computer file format as either Finished Artwork, or Rough Artwork, or in a Printed Format. If you don't have design, call us, we can design it for you.

Finished Artwork Types:

Encapsulated Postscript (.eps)
ADOBE Illustrator (.ai)
CorelDRAW (.cdr)
Macromedia Freehand (.fh#)

Rough Artwork Types:

ADOBE Acrobat (.pdf)
ADOBE Photoshop (.psd)
Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)
Joint Photgraphics Experts Group (.jpeg)
Tagged Image File Format (.tif)
Windows Bitmap (.bmp)

Printed Format Types:

Paper or Film
Image at specified size (max 8.5" x 14")
Right Reading, Positive
Minimum Resolution 360 dpi
Composites Only (no separated or keyline)

Can I See It Before Everything is Printed?
Sample "color proofs" are available upon request. If you would like to see a "press proof" (first garment off the press) this can be arranged also. However, keep in mind that color proofs and press proofs take time and will increase the time your order takes to complete.

What Colors Can I Use?
We have a selection of stock colors or you can reference to thousands of Pantone colors which are commonly used in the graphics industry.. If you require an exact match, that can be arranged also.

How do I reorder?
Just email or call us and we will be happy to help you. We keep your films on file and have all your information regarding ink colors, type of garment, and quantity on file for an exact repeat. For repeat garments it's easy. Chosing a different garment and colors is often just about as easy. Just let us know what you need.
