Light weight - very light colored garments. The system uses a water based ink so colors seep into the shirt and don't sit on top like traditional screen printing. The benifit is a really nice, light weight print, the drawback is a lack of color "pop".

What is the set-up fee and what is it for?

Screen Printing Set Up Fee
The Screen Set Up Fee covers the considerable time involved with preparing films and screens for screen-printing. This is a one-time fee. We do not charge this fee when you reprint.
We do not give out or sell screens and films.
We do not provide a screen coating service to the public.
Companies that offer no screen fees are rolling it into the cost of the printing.

• $20.00 per screen per ink color ($10.00 for return customers)
• $50.00 per oversize screen (larger than 15" x 15")
• $10.00 film processing charge per screen per ink color (this is a one time fee for the life of that specific art) *Add this to your regular screen charge.

Why does printing on dark garments with light inks cost more than on light gamrnents with dark inks?
Dark garments often require a second pass for light colored inks to be really opaque. This is called Flash Curing. Your design may or may not need Flash Curing, and we will need to see your design to determine this.

How does pricing work for screen printing and embroidery?
Screen printing is priced in the following way:
•  Number of garments being printed is by far the most important criteria
•  Number of colors
•  Number of locations on the shirt
•  Number of screens required to print the garment

Embroidery pricing is tied to the number of stitches. A garment of 3,000 stitches is going to take much less time on the embroidery machine then a design of 50,000 stitches. Pricing is also dependent on the number of garments embroidered. Colors are not normally a pricing factor unless there are more then five colors in the design.
