72dpi does not work.

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

We can not reproduce a 72dpi image on shirt.  Well we could, but it would look something like this: if 72dpi was a person it would be a jerk. All images from websites are usually 72 dpi, so no, we can not take the logo from your website.  Unless you dont mind that it looks like a mistake.  If you can get a clean high res version of the logo from whoever created it or let us know and we can recreate it for you! 300 dpi is the minimum resolution...

Water based Screenprinting Inks

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

It seems like people are obsessed with the feel of the print these days.  We offer water based screen printing inks that have a much softer feel than plastisol (you know the plastic thick ink used on most screen printed shirts since the 80’s) especially on light colored shirts.

Screenprinting steps

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

First off the art must be a decent resolution to get a good reproduction.  If the art is on paper and scanned, like a painting or a drawing it needs to be scanned at least 300dpi.   If the art is good then we can take it from the computer to the films, splitting the colors up and making it print ready is fun.  We take the films and put them positive side on screens coated with photo emulsion.  We then expose the screens for the appropriate amount...
