Screen Printing
Screen printing is the most popular decorating method for smooth fabrics like t-shirts and sweatshirts. It works well on cotton, cotton/poly blend, and tri-blend fabrics. It can be used on 100% polyester material when inks designed for polyester printing are used and precautions are made to adjust drying temperatures.
Combining spot colors with full-color process printing creates unique looks that are in demand in both retail and corporate settings. Our production team’s Hi-Def AccuColor process creates a full spectrum of colors perfect for photographic imprints.
If you want an environmentally friendly process, select water-based inks for your imprint. Our production team describes water-based inks as free of most environmentally damaging chemicals such as PVC’s, phthalate,
heavy metals, azo compounds, nonylphenol, and formaldehyde. Water-based ink ingredients are non-toxic and lead-free, which give a super soft touch that lends itself to oversized designs.
One of the hottest trends in garment printing is the use of unique print locations to create original and visually interesting apparel. Please see our guide to non-traditional imprint locations to help you create your distinctive design.
Embroidery
Most of our clients choose embroidery when customizing polos, outerwear, caps, dress shirts, and workwear. This highly valued decorating technique provides a dimensional look to logos while offering lasting color retention and durability.

Specialty Decorating Techniques
Hi-Def AccuColor
Four color process printing that creates a full spectrum of colors ideal for photographic imprints on garments
Water Base
Environmentally friendly inks that penetrate fabric more than plastisol inks and have a softer feel
Metalic Foil
A reflective foil overlay is placed on and adheres to a plastisol base layer.
HiRes Halftones
Fine dots are used to simulate shading to create realistic images.
Discharge Ink
A chemical is used to remove dye from fabric. Water based ink can be used with discharge to create imprints with no ink build up to create soft designs.
Vintage Fade & Retail Soft
Vintage fade uses fine mesh screens so less ink passes through the screen allowing the shirt color to partially show through. Retail soft is similar but uses halftones to create a soft hand or feel.
Glitter Flake
Ink with metallic flakes (usually gold or silver) to create a sparkle effect
Leather Ink
Gives a design a soft weathered leather look and feel
Laser Etch
Offers a tonal look that works well on heavy fabrics
Puff Embroidery
Uses a foam base layer to create a 3D or raised appearance
Applique
Created by sewing one piece of cloth to another to add dimension and texture. Looks best on heavier garments
