When it comes to t-shirt printing, there's no denying it: we're obsessed. We understand how important your shirt project is to you. That's why we've established exacting standards for print quality and offer multiple printing technologies to ensure that your order will come out great. Screen Printing — Tried and True Our classic, expertly-handled, proven screen printing method accounts for over 90% of the shirts we make at Shirt Oasis. And with so many of our t-shirts produced through screen printing, you better believe we've got this process down. Screen printing involves creating a stencil (printers call this a "screen"), and then using that screen to apply layers of ink on the printing surface. Each color is applied using a different screen, one at a time, combined to achieve the final look. Screen printing is the best option for designs that require a high level of vibrancy, when printing on dark shirts, or specialty products. The ink in screen printing is applied thicker than digital printing, which results in brighter colors even on darker shirts. The fact that these products are printed by hand also allows for unique products like water bottles, koozies and mugs, as the printer can manually handle curved or uneven surfaces. The minimum order quantity on screen-printed items is due to the extra material and preparation time associated with this printing method. Ready to start? Call or Text Us Today! 412-292-4998
