Screen printing is a traditional process and involves pushing ink through a mesh stencil screen for every colour in the design. Each screen is aligned (registered) on our press to make sure all colours line up. We then print each colour in sequence onto the t-shirt until the final image builds. Due to the preparation time involved in the screen printing routine this process is more suited to orders of 25pcs and upwards.
We use a 6 colour carousel and manually hand print your garments using waterbased and phthalate free eco friendly inks to create the perfect combination of soft but vibrant printed textile garments.
– We also understand the value of minimizing the effect our printing has on the planet. This is why we make significant efforts to keep our inks as Eco friendly as possible. Not only do our inks look and feel great, they contain no phalates or plasticizers which also allows the use of Eco Friendly cleaning solutions. As an example of our efforts we recently switched out our aerosol pallet adhesives to a waterbased alternative which not only helps the planet, it helps our lungs too!
We screen print because we love it! We are passionate about screen printing and put a lot of care and attention into producing the best quality, soft and vibrant print possible.
We screen print using a unique combination of waterbased and phthalate free eco friendly ink, which produces a soft hand, lightweight but vibrant print finish on light or dark garments. Waterbased inks are typically reserved for white/light garments but with the advancement in the ink industry over recent years we can now use high solid waterbased ink and achieve opaque whites with vibrant colours printed on to dark garments. Our inks are best suited for 100% cotton garments and is the most eco friendly of inks.

When screen printing on to dark or coloured garments certain designs may require the use of an underbase to achieve a vibrant opaque print finish (depending on the artwork and colours in the design). If your print design does require an underbase, we create an extra screen and the print is charged as one extra print colour. For example if your artwork features 3 colours such as red, green and blue on to a black t-shirt, this would be charged as a 4 colour screen print (White underbase, red, green and blue overprint).
Screen printing on to white garments does not require an underbase.
