How to Get Started:

Silk screen printing is one of the most colorful options for putting a design on fabric. It applies a thick layer of ink to the garment, one color at a time, forming a “skin” of color over the cloth that binds to the fabric below. Because ink layers are opaque, light colors can be printed on dark shirts, providing brilliant hues, crisp images, and versatility of design. High-tech inks allow us to control the drying process and prevent bleeds between colors.

Screen printed apparel can incorporate up to eight colors in a design. If you need help with art, our marketing specialists can advise you on the types of images and content that will best convey your message. Or our design department can tweak your design or create one for you from scratch.

Once the image is finalized, we’ll separate the design into its component colors for printing, then show you computer mock-up of how the finished art will look on your silk screen printed product(s).

The process of printing t shirts involves the application of inks that are squeegeed through a silk stencil onto the fabric. Each color layer is flash dried in a curing oven before applying the next color, and the inks are set in the fabric to assure that the design doesn’t prematurely crack, fade or peel off.

Once the final product is inspected, your message is ready to wear. We typically have a 10-business-day turnaround time, but we’ll always do our best to meet more urgent deadlines. It begins with a call, an email or a visit to our facility in west Wichita.

How Does Screen Printing Shirts Compare to Other Types of Apparel Graphics?

We can put graphics on apparel with several methods, including direct to garment, embroidery, and sublimation, but silk screen printing is the most popular method. This process provides brilliant color, fine detail, durability, and cost effectiveness for virtually any quantity. Silk screened images can applied to most any type of fabric. Other apparel printing options include:

How Does Silk Screen Printing Compare…

Direct to Garment Digital Printing – This is a great option when you just need a few garments printed. No set up or minimum quantity is required, but the colors aren’t as vivid as on a screen printed garment, and they will fade faster. Direct to garment is also not a good option for dark fabrics.
Sublimation – A form of digital printing like direct-to-garment, sublimation provides bright colors and can be printed all over a garment, rather than only in the center of the front and back, as with screening. Potential drawbacks of sublimation are that it has a higher cost per garment and can only be printed on white, 100 percent polyester shirts.
Embroidery – This is a long-lasting solution in which designs are sewn onto the garment with colored thread. It’s typically used for small designs—most often for a company logo and name on the chest area. Embroidery looks great, but doesn’t reproduce detail well or make the same kind of big, bold statement as screen printing
Heat press – Commonly associated with name and/or numbers on the back of team jerseys, heat press vinyl is best suited to images or wording requiring only a single color but certainly can be used in the creation of multi-color images.
