Preset mixes are also available here under ink types. We do charge $20 per color for plastisol inks and $40 per color for discharge or water-based inks.

Can I bring my own garments for embroidery?

Yes, but it's evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to our sales team to discuss your project.

What materials work best for custom bandanas?

100% cotton is ideal for screen printing because of its absorbency and durability. We typically use discharge or water-based inks for bandanas.

What is the standard print area for a bandana?

On a standard 22" x 22" bandana, the typical print area is about 20" x 20". We can also accommodate smaller print areas if needed.

We offer both water-based and discharge printing methods.

We can print up to 4 ink colors. If your design requires more than that, please email us—we’ll let you know if we can make it work.

What type of paper do you use for screen printed posters?

We typically use smooth, uncoated 100 lb cover weight paper. If requested, we can order heavier paper or different colors. Heavyweight, high-quality papers are often preferred for their durability and ink absorption.

How many colors can be used in a screen printed poster?

Most posters use up to 4 colors, but we can accommodate designs with more—usually up to 6 to 8 colors maximum. Each color requires a separate screen and print pass.

What is the typical turnaround time?

Turnaround times generally range from 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the complexity and quantity of the order.

What are the artwork requirements?

Artwork must be screenprint-ready—300 DPI at the actual print size. If your file needs extensive touch-ups or is not print-ready, an additional fee may apply. Have a design idea but need help? Visit our custom design page—we’d be happy to help bring your concept to life.

What file formats should I use when submitting artwork?

We recommend using vector file formats such as .AI, .EPS, .PDF, or .SVG. These formats allow your design to be scaled to any size without losing quality.

What resolution is best for raster images?

For raster files like .JPG or .PNG, make sure your artwork is at least 300 dpi at the intended print size. Avoid enlarging smaller images, as this can cause pixelation and blurry edges.

How can I tell if my file is truly a vector?

A true vector file is created using vector-based programs like Adobe Illustrator. Simply saving a raster image as a vector file type doesn’t convert it into a vector. If you're unsure, our team can help verify your file.

How should I prepare my artwork for printing?

Follow these steps for the best results:

    1. Outline all fonts and strokes in Illustrator.

    2. Rasterize any layer styles in Photoshop.

    3. Place each color on a separate layer and label it clearly.

    4. Group similar-colored layers together for easy separation.

What if my artwork isn’t print-ready?

No worries! Our sales and art teams are happy to review and adjust your files to ensure the best print outcome. For more detailed specs, check out our Art Requirements page.

What finishing services do you offer?

We offer folding and bagging, hang tag application, branded label sewing, and UPC barcode labeling.

Why should I add finishing services?

Finishing services enhance your product’s presentation by making it retail-ready and professionally packaged. Everything arrives ready to ship without extra prep on your end.

With so many choices available, we recommend reaching out to our sales team to find the best fit for your needs.

The maximum print area is 3.5" x 3.5".

Can I print on both sides of the koozie?

What is screen burning?

Screen burning is how we transfer your design onto a mesh screen using a light-sensitive emulsion, which creates a stencil for printing. The type of emulsion we use depends on your ink—plastisol, water-based, or discharge—for the best possible results.

What size do y'all accept?

We accept screens of all sizes although the largest screen we can burn is 36x36 in.  

Can I bring my own screen for burning?

Yes! We require that you provide your own screen, as we do not supply screens in-house.

What kind of artwork do I need to provide?

We recommend high-contrast black and white images in vector format for best results. If your design is in color or not print-ready, we can convert it—though additional fees may apply depending on the file.

Do you sell or provide screens?

No, we do not provide screens. If you need one, we suggest checking out River City Graphics or a local screen printing supply shop near you.
