Heat Transfer

Screen Printing
is the oldest and
still best way
of printing your
custom t-shirts.
Screen printing
is created by
burning an image
into a mesh screen and then
forcing wet ink through the screen  
to create a design or image on the
t-shirts. For this method you will
need a screen for each color in
your design.
Screen printing is a very intense
process and can be costly when
purchasing in small quantities , but
it is well worth the money spent to
have a one of a kind, or an original
design  that will last as long as the
shirt.
