What is Screen Printing?

In the industry, it is often called “silk screen printing”. In a nutshell, this process puts ink to apparel by way of a stencil that is burned onto a framed screen and then used to transfer ink onto any item you desire. Though it requires a tedious set-up process, it provides the highest quality print in the industry after years in existence. Once it is set-up, it is the most economical solution to reproduce the same image on hundreds, or even hundreds of thousands, of items.

Our most popular printing method and the industry standard, this type of silkscreening is done with Plastisol printing inks. We only use high-quality inks that ensure product longevity and color vibrancy throughout the life of the apparel.

What is Sublimation Printing?

Dye sublimation printing is a full color, full-coverage printing technique. Your artwork is printed onto a sheet of high-release paper and transferred onto your apparel using heat and pressure. The dye particles convert into gas — known as sublimation — where they bond to the polyester fibers.

Our 100% polyester fabric maximizes color, resolution and softness. Custom cut-and-sew garment prevents crinkles and errors at seams that printing on generic ready made shirts cannot avoid , that are printed all over  front and back. Our new 100% polyester Sublimation T-Shirt has a fuller, more relaxed fit,  more closely matching our Screen Printed T with the look and feel of 100% soft spun cotton.
