Types of Printing

Spot Colors

Here plastisol Ink is printed on a garment. Multiple colors are printed wet on wet then dryed through a gas dryer on 320 degrees to cure the ink. On a dark garment a “white base" is printed then partially dryed (flashed) then colors are printed on top of the flashed white base. These are called spot colors.

This logo is a 5 color design on white and a 6 color design on black. Therefore, the white shirt require 5 films and 5 screens and the black shirt will require 6 films and 6 screens.

Four Color Process

Four color process is used when you require to reproduce a picture or many colors on garments. 4 primary colors are used. The colors used are called CYMK colors, C=cyan, Y=yellow, M=magenta, K=black to produce every color available. This process is only used on light color garments preferably on white. These colors are not as vibrant as spot colors, and there is a 144 piece minimum when ordering.

Simulated Printing

Simulated printing is used when you need to print an image that has many colors but may need to be printed on a dark garment. This process may require many screens to reproduce every color in the design.

Direct to Garment Printing

This is a NEW type of garment printing. This technique allows us to print directly onto a garment similarly to how a printer prints on paper. This type of printing is ideal for photo images etc and does not require set up costs as would be required for screen printing. This type of printing can only be done on light colored garments, white ideally and 100% cotton.

Numbering

Numbers can be screen printed directly to the garment or heat sealed onto the garment. Screen printed numbers can be printed in any color and we offer three different fonts; FOREST in 8"3"or2", FULL BLOCK in 10"8"6"4"3"or2", and SAN DIEGO (shown below).

Heat Seal

Heat seal uses 350 degree heat to adhere numbers and names to garments. Heat seal techniques are primarily used for numbers and names on jerseys, etc. Heat seal numbers come in varsity or shadow fonts in 2”, 4”, 6” and 8”. We generally stock black, white and navy numbers, but other colors may be special ordered.
