Screen Printing is the most commonly used decoration method of apparel today.
Traditional screen printing is done with plastisol ink and cured in a drying oven.
Plastisol screen printing results in a slightly heavier feel, but produces very bright
and vivid colors. Still the most common method used today and the best.
Embroidery is the number one choice for corporate apparel and identity.
Artwork is created into a stitch file through a process called digitizing.
Once a file is digitized it doesn't change and reproduction is a snap.
Discharge printing removes the dyes from most dark 100% cotton shirts leaving
a soft feel behind. Discharge can be used by itself or with discharge colors,
(red, blue, green) without the need for an underbase print achieving very soft prints.
If you need a more vibrant print you can combine printing methods.
Discharge for underbase and plastisol colors will still achieve a softer brighter print.
Four color process takes full color art or photographs and breaks them down.
By using four specialty process inks cyan, magenta, yellow and black we can achieve
full color in only four screens on light color garments. Spot colors are sometimes
needed to match spacific colors that can't change.
Simulated process is the best of both worlds. If you have light and dark garments
this is the choice. Simulated process is typically used for putting full color designs and photographs on medium and dark color garments. This process is usually between
6 - 8 colors. Simulated process uses standard opaque plastisol ink for a stunning
bright color reproduction on dark shirts. Again, to soften the print if it is a concern, we can discharge the shirt first to remove the color of dark shirts eliminating the underbase white screen which will soften the print.
