Our processes include:

Silkscreen
In the prepress department, our skilled staff meticulously prepares and produces the screens that will create the finished product.

The silkscreen process is relatively simple. It all begins with a fine nylon mesh that is stretched taut over an aluminum frame. An emulsion is then adhered to the screen and the design is exposed to UV light against the emulsion which melts away the exposed areas leaving a positive image on the screen where ink can flow freely though. A single screen is made for each color utilized within the design. Ink is then squeegeed through the frame which results in a print being laid down.

This process continues for each color in the design, using our state of the art 10 color and 5 color pneumatic presses. The prints are then dried and cured through a one million BTU gas dryer.

Dyes
Our dyes are environmentally friendly and formulated here on the premises. The big plus in our water-based dye is that they breathe, and you can't feel the print on the shirt. This results in cleaner impressions as well as longer lasting prints.

Embroidery
The embroidery process is an artform that has been around since 30,000 BC. Traditionally, artwork is embellished by hand with needle and threads of various colors. Today, modern embroidery is done on computerized machines creating up to 6 pieces at the same time.
