Screen Printing
Screen Printing is a good choice for a high-quality print on multiple shirts.
Colors printed
For each color in the design, a separate screen is needed. 1-color printing costs less then multi-colors. 12 pieces is the minimum per color to avoid screen charges. We charge $10.00 for 'on-press' ink color change. Minimums (no screen charges if you do): 1-color printing - 12 shirts 2-color printing - 24 shirts 3-color printing - 36 shirts 4-color printing - 48 shirts The only time there is a screen charge: If you want less than the minimum shirts required per screen, we charge $35 per screen (and that includes film etc) General Rule: The more you order, the better your price will be per shirt. Larger sizes Add the following for sizes over XL XXL (2X) - Add $1.00 XXXL (3X)- Add $2.00 XXXXL (4X) - Add $3.00 XXXXXL (5X)- Add $4.00 XXXXXXL (6X) - Add $5.00 Cotton / polyester?? 100% cotton, 100% polyester, or a 50/50 blend is your choice. Artwork We assist with artwork, design, adding text etc. On 1-color jobs there is often no art charges. When color-separations are needed, or more time will be spent on getting the graphics ready, there is a small charge for artwork/design help. Pockets cost more Shirts with a pocket are $1.00 more. Color of shirt - price difference Colored shirts cost more than white shirts. In addition printing on dark shirts (with light ink) is more involved, which also affects the price. Front and/or back Print on front (full or pocket area), back, sleeve. There are endless possibilities depending what we print on. Each area is a separate print. Rush-jobs Orders take about 10 working days. If you need something a lot sooner, our RUSH! -charge is $25.00 (if we are able do it) and/or we might have you pay for shipping of the shirts to our location. | Q: How does screenprinting work?Step 1
The image is printed in black on a transparancy film. Each color on the shirt requires a different film. Step 2
The transparancy film is used to burn the image into a screen. Step 3
Ink is then pushed through the screen with a squeegee onto the shirt and creates the print (white in this example on a black shirt; then red was printed over white using a different screen). |
