Silkscreen Print

Silkscreen printing is a printing method where ink is printed directly onto a material.


The designs printed via silkscreen printing are durable and very long-lasting. They can withstand thousands of washes, allowing apparel that is customized with silkscreen printing to last for many years. 


This is used for printing with 1 to 2 colors only.






Heat Transfer Print

Heat transfer, also known as thermal printing, thermal-transfer printing, and thermal-wax transfer, is a method of printing that allows you to print a design onto a piece of clothing or an object. Heat transfer printing uses the process of heat to transfer an image created in wax to an object or garment


This is used for printing with 3 colors and more.
