Print Process

   

Every shirt we print is created with care, precision, and pride. Here’s how we bring your designs to life:

 

1. Artwork Preparation

Before we print, your artwork is reviewed and separated by color. Each color in your design becomes its own screen, this ensures clean, crisp prints with perfect registration.

 

2. Screen Exposure

Once the artwork is ready, we coat each screen with a light-sensitive emulsion and expose it using your design’s film transparency. This process hardens the emulsion everywhere except where your artwork appears, creating a stencil for the ink.

 

3. Ink Mixing

Next, we hand-mix inks to match your desired colors. Whether it’s a Pantone match or a custom blend, we take the time to ensure consistency across your whole order.

 

4. Printing

We print each garment by hand on our 8-color manual press. Every color is printed one at a time, with careful alignment and attention to detail to make your artwork look amazing.

 

5. Curing

After printing, each shirt goes through a conveyor dryer where the ink is heat-cured for long-lasting durability and wash resistance.

 

6. Quality Check

Before your order leaves the shop, every shirt is inspected for print quality, placement, and garment consistency... because we don’t ship anything we wouldn’t wear ourselves.
