What “good” screen printing looks like in practice

Ink should look intentional on the fabric — not cracked after one wash, not muddy where colors meet. We build jobs through screen printing with separations, screens, and a signed proof before the press run. If the file is soft or multi-layer chaos, we clean it first via graphic arts so you are not paying to print a problem.

Color count, quantity, and honest cost drivers

Each ink color needs its own screen. A one-color left chest on 72 soft tees prices differently than a four-color full front on 24 heavyweight blanks. Quantity amortizes setup; more colors raise setup and press time. We will not invent a fake “same day for everything” promise — we will give you a timeline that includes proof sign-off.

Benicia local + U.S. ship

Studio work happens in Benicia. Nearby cities we regularly talk with include Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville, Martinez, Concord, and Napa. If you are outside the Bay Area, the workflow is the same: upload art, approve mockups, we decorate and ship. Browse blanks in the Shop, then lock decoration once.

When print is not the only answer

Caps, polos, and left-chest marks often want embroidery. Patches solve jackets and bags. Event booths may need vinyl and stickers next to staff tees. Mixing methods is normal — see our breakdown of screen printing vs embroidery if you are still choosing.
