Printing & Embroidery Questions

What is Screen Printing?

Screen printing is a printing method where a desired image/design is achieved through pushing ink directly onto the garment using an ink blocking stencil supported by a woven mesh screen. One color is printed at a time. A different screen is needed for each color, so several screens can be used to produce a multicolored image/design. The ink in screen printing is applied thicker than digital print, therefore the print result is very bright and opaque.

What is Digital Printing?

Digital printing is a method of printing where an image/design is printed directly from a digital image onto the garment. Digital printing is a newer printing technique where high amounts of detail can be achieved where the result is more like a photographic print. The greatest difference between digital printing and screen printing is that there is no screen needed in digital printing. Because it doesn’t require screens nor physical set-up we can take orders in small quantities as little as one shirt.

What is Embroidery?

You're already familiar with embroidery—even if you had never realized it. It has been around forever, and that's not an exaggeration. It's an ancient craft of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle to apply thread or yarn. Embroidery is usually seen on golf shirts, caps, hats, coats, blankets, dress shirts and many more. Instead of being sewn by someone by hand, today it is done by a machine.

I'm on a budget, how do I save money on my order?

With printing, the more you order the more you save! To help keep the cost per item low we suggest limiting your design to one or two ink color. Less print placements, the more print placements the higher the cost per item would be.
For example, an order of 24 shirts with a one color ink print in the front would be significantly cheaper than an order of 24 shirts with a 3-color ink print in the front and 2-color ink print in the back. The reasons being, the latter order has two different print placements, front and back, and each print placement has multiple ink colors.

I don't see the product I'm looking for in your products page.
