- Screen Printing
-
What is it?
Screen-printing presses special garment inks into fabrics and then cures that ink at high heat. Images must be separated by color and each screen prints that color in a layer. This results in a permanent design on the garment.How much?
Screen-printing costs vary based on how many screens are needed, how many garments require impressions, and whether you require special sizes to be involved. The more screens, the more expensive per garment! We have a helpful quote system to get you an answer as soon as possible!Shirts
JBLM Arts and Crafts utilizes several vendors to fulfill shirt requests. Our vendors have detailed information about sizes, heat tolerance, printing capabilities, and more. All projects start with a shirt order from our vendors at wholesale costs.Design Details
To move things along, it is best if you know what your design will be and already have it prepared in a .pdf or .png as a line drawing (looks like a coloring book page). For positioning, we can do it anywhere on the front or back of the garment. We currently cannot do sleeves.Sizes
Currently we can only offer Adult sizes SMALL through 2XL. Children's sizes require smaller materials we do not have at this time. 3X and above can be processed, but will incur additional charges due to additional screen making.Colors
We can mix and match a variety of inks to make colors for you if you know the Pantone number. Our services can offer up to 6 color printing. One of these colors MUST be the base color (usually white) for the whole design. More Colors = More Screens = More $$How Long
From start to finish, a screen-printing order can take 3-4 weeks. Week 1: We take your order, discuss the design, order your shirts, and verify the color sections and design breakdown. Week 2: We receive your shirts and verify the order has been fulfilled correctly. We also transform your design into screens (1 for each color) and align them with test prints. Week 3 and 4: We print your shirts! The length of time varies based on quantity of shirts and impressions requested.For more information
