FAQs

  • Screen printing is a versatile printing method that pushes ink through a fine mesh screen (like a stencil) onto a surface, creating durable, vibrant designs. A stencil blocks certain areas of the mesh, so ink only passes through the open parts when a squeegee is dragged across, transferring the image one color at a time for consistent, high-quality prints.  

  • Depending on how our schedule is looking, we generally work on a 7-14 day turnaround, from ideation to final product collection.

  • Screen printing ink varies by application; Plastisol, Water-Based, Discharge, and special effects ( metallic, glow, reflective, fluro, glitter etc ).

    Plastisol inks are durable but need high heat; Water-Based is soft and eco-friendly but dries fast on screen; Discharge removes fabric dye for a soft print.

    Choosing the right ink depends on the desired finish, fabric type ( for example, spandex needs flexibility), durability, and environmental factors. 

  • There are two variables that will effect the pricing: Quantity and Colours in a print run.

    Quantity: Depending on how many units you print, your price will change. The more units, the cheaper the print price will be.

    Colours: Each colour in a print = 1 x screen. A 5 colour print = 5 screens. The more screens used, the more expensive the print will be.

“These guys have nailed our t-shirts every time for the last 10 years.”

They don't just do the screen printing, they supply all our tees and hoodies as well. Highly recommend Christian and Sally - they have amazing attention to detail and quality, and keep screen printing as the craft that it is.
