I’ve been in business since 2015. I started screen printing as a hobby while I worked as a middle school science and art teacher. I am a self-taught printer which means I’ve spent lots of time experimenting, failing, watching videos, reading, making messes, and taking risks. I love the process of printmaking. There is great satisfaction in making cool stuff for my clients.
Printing & Artwork
-
I currently print with a six color press. That means I’m limited to six individual colors on light garments, and five on dark garments because they generally require a white base. I’m currently learning new techniques to screen print even more colors.
-
We used plastisol inks which is the most widely used ink in apparel screen printing. It is made up PVC particles suspended in a liquid plasticizer. The colors are vibrant and the ink is durable.

We can generally work with all kinds of some fabrics are easier to print with using plastisol inks. Blends with cotton and polyester will require low cure inks, but depending on your design, we can work with it. High quality cotton blank apparel is the best choice for printing most designs and there are many great brands in all quality and price ranges.

We would much rather source the garments for you. A few reasons for this: We have access to wholesale prices which means we can often get the same items cheaper for you. Also, if you provide your own garment, and the test print doesn’t work out, we will not be able to replace it for you.
If you’re set on providing your own stuff, please let us know beforehand so we can make sure you’ve had a look at our terms of service, specifically those regarding customer supplied garments.

Absolutely! Let us know what you’re looking for and we can find some options that will work. We work with a few well-stocked wholesalers to help you find what you need.

We use Adobe software so any kind of .psd/.ai/.pdf files are great. If it’s a .jpg or .png, we will need the highest resolution as possible. If your artwork needs extra adjustment due to low resolution, it will take more time to prepare your design.
