Our Screen Printing Steps:

  1. Selecting Apparel – the customer will tell us what kind of apparel they have in mind (a coach’s polo, t-shirt, football jersey, etc.)
  2. Artwork Creation – we work with the customer to establish & accomplish their goals of what the artwork should look like.
  3. Art Proofing – we send the customer a PDF of the artwork on the garments they have purchased.
  4. Art Revisions – If needed, we offer up to 2 art revisions free of charge.
  5. Art Approval – Once the artwork is approved, the custom work order is completed & the job is scheduled for production.
  6. Screen Prep – We create the custom artwork seperations to specs & send the art files to our DTS (Digital To Screen) using our digital dark room capabilities, we can produce a screen every 3 minutes. Each screen is meticulously inspected to ensure the best possible quality. 
  7. Design Setup & Registration – No matter how many shirts we are printing, each job must be set up & registered to receive a high quality print. The set up times on each design vary by how many colors, what type of fabric/ink is being used, & the complexity of the artwork. 
  8. Quality Control – At the end of the process, we inspect each garment for defects. If a defect is detected the apparel is replaced most of the time before the order makes it out of our building.
  • High Volume Orders – We set up our automatic screen printing presses to ensure the fastest turnaround & highest quality prints. We can average anywhere between 300 – 600 prints per hour depending on the type of design. 
  • Low Volume Orders – We set up our automatic screen printing presses or manual presses to achieve a quick turnaround time & high quality print.
