Silk-Screen Printing

Screen printing is the traditional, and usually regarded as the best, method used for printing t-shirts and sweatshirts.

​​

Silk Screen Printing 'using silk screens and water based inks to print directly onto garments, screen printing is the ideal process for large print runs (over 20) and larger designs'.

 

'This is our main way of printing in house, our water based inks sink in to the fabric giving a more set in feel to the print whilst remainging high quality and long lasting'.

 

'We are also very focused on sustainability, with our garments and inks, we only use water based inks and have never used plastersol inks or drying tunnels for our printing'.
