Screen printing is by far the most common & cost-effective method for printing t-shirts. The printed design has a long lasting color, durability and can be placed almost anywhere on the t-shirt or garment.
With screen printing we make a different screen for each color of your design and lay each color down on the shirt one at a time. This means that a one color design would require just one screen for its single ink color, while a four color design would require four separate screens for each of the four colors being printed.
HALFTONESDepending on the shirt and the design, we have the ability "create" new colors by creating half tones. Half tones are small dots of color laid down in various sizes and spacing over other colors to make a whole new color. (i.e. yellow dots are placed over a blue space - creating a green area).
Benefits of Using Halftones- Yields more muted, lighter tones of color
- Print on any color garment, recommended for dark prints on light color garments for best results
- Each half tone of a color is no more expensive than its full tone - a great way to save money when an additional color is needed in certain situations
- Typically used for: gradients, background images, using a single color to look like it's more than 1 color
- Total quantity ordered
- Number of colors in your print
- Total number of print locations
- Brand, Color & Style of the blank garment being printed
