WHAT IS SCREEN PRINTING?
Screen printing, also known as silk screen printing, offers an unparalleled blend of affordability, durability, and high quality for large-volume custom apparel orders.
Screen printing is a 2000+ year old decorating method that is still used today. Screen printing is achieved through the creation of a mesh stencil, known as a screen, for every color required in the design. The more colors in your design, the more screens are required to print your order. After the screens are made they are meticulously aligned (or registered) and tested on sample sheets to guarantee precise color alignment. Subsequently, inks are individually pressed through each screen onto the fabric building up your design 1 color (or layer) at a time. To complete the process, each item is then passed through a substantial ink dryer, ensuring the inks are thoroughly cured and baked to perfection.
This printing technique excels in applying logos and designs to a variety of soft goods, including custom T-shirts, sweatshirts, towels, and more. With a range of printing techniques such as Spot Color, Process Color, Sim Process, and Special Effects, screen printing provides versatile options to meet diverse design needs.
T-SHIRT INK OPTIONS!
In our screen printing process, we prioritize the use of top-tier inks and additives to guarantee prints that not only last longer but also display the brightest colors. This method results in a print that is both soft to the touch and durable, capable of enduring numerous washes without fading. Our dedication to research and development, coupled with a streamlined production process, has enabled us to refine our technique to ensure your prints are as comfortable as they are visually striking.
Our screen printing capabilities include a range of methods and ink choices, including but are not limited to:
Plastisol, Water-Based, Discharge, Hybrid & Special Effects Printing Options.
Our traditional screen printing technique utilizes premium plastisol inks that form a layer on the fabric's surface, giving it a classic appearance and texture. These inks are highly adaptable, fitting for numerous types of garments and fabrics, and excel in designs that demand brighter colors and more durable finishes. Plastisol is also particularly suited for printing on blended fabric T-shirts like Polyester, Lycra & Spandex and still remaining bright & vibrant over time.
Water-based inks are celebrated for their soft, breathable nature, allowing them to merge into or soak in the fabric. This dyes the garment with a softer, more vintage look & feel, featuring softer and less vibrant colors that are sometimes preferred for a "retro" style of t shirt. This ink is perfect for designs on light colored fabrics with an organic, earthy, or novelty theme. Note: Water-based inks may reveal the garment's fibers over time, resulting in a naturally worn or dull appearance after washing.
Discharge printing is simply using water based inks but it incorporates a bleaching agent into the mixture, facilitating the printing on dark 100% cotton fabrics. This technique is advantageous for making large designs feel less bulky and for cultivating a vintage T-shirt feel on dark colored fabrics. Discharge printing can create distinctive effects, especially combined with blended fabrics but it requires careful consideration, as its effectiveness and end result can vary with different factors. It's crucial to understand all the nuances before preferring it over other ink types.
Spot Color Screen Printing
This technique involves printing with individual, solid colors, and is considered the industry standard for most Logo screen printing.
Process Color Screen Printing
This method uses a blend of four colors (CMYK) through overlapping halftones to achieve the desired full color image.
Sim-Process Screen Printing
This approach is similar to process printing but combines the spot color method and using blends of halftones, allowing for the creation of images with multiple tones and vibrant, shaded or gradating colors.
For projects involving full-color artwork that require a small number of t-shirts (12 to 47 pieces), Direct-to-Garment (DTG) or Direct to Film (DTF) printing might be a more budget-friendly option.

SCREEN PRINTING FAQ
Our minimums for our apparel start at 36 pieces and can increase from there depending on the number of colors in the design, the number of print locations, and the method of printing you prefer. We do offer a 12-piece minimum for our DTG printing service. For our vinyl graphics products like banners, decals and signs, we have a $75 store minimum.
Our normal production time is 7 to 10 business days. This can fluctuate throughout the year based on our volume. If you need your order by a specific date or for an event It’s very important you arrange this with our team ahead of time! For selected promotional products, turnaround times can sometimes be 2-3 weeks depending on the product. If you're in a hurry and need your product within 24-48 hours, give us a call!
In order to produce screen-printed t-shirts, each color in the design must go on its own screen or stencil. Hittn’ Skins will hold your screens for up to 12 months so for any reorders placed within that time you will not be charged another setup fee. The cost per screen is normally $25 per color. We can sometimes waive the setup fees on larger orders depending on the job.
Sure, our minimum starts at 72 pieces depending on the artwork if you are supplying your own garments. All supplied garments must be of the same material or be able to be printed with the same method & ink types (i.e. colors, fabrics, print sizes). If you are providing your own garments, it is recommended that you supply extras if you need an exact count as we are not responsible for products misprinted or damaged during the production run.
You are welcome to have a mixture of styles, sizes and colors as long as the ink colors, fabric types, and print sizes will work on the garments of your choice. We require you to order at least 12 pieces per style and 12 pieces per color if you want to order a variety. Feel free to give us a call with additional questions on this topic.
No, we do not offer any kind of sampling. We do however provide you with a Digital Rendering of what the final product will look like when completed. All garments run at the same time and our production department will use the customer-approved proof for reference during this process. We have samples of our work as well as color swatches and material examples in our showroom. Feel free to call ahead to make an appointment for someone to meet with you and go over your concerns if you have further questions.
We can definitely handle rush orders. It will be based on the availability of the product, the details of your order and how quickly you need it done. Please email over these details to connect with us and determine if we can get it done for you! Keep in mind there is a RUSH ORDER FEE, and it will be a percentage of the invoice total and based on the overall deadline.
If you are looking for an event sponsor, please feel free to contact us ahead of time and we will be more than happy to help out if we can. However, if you are just looking to save a buck by adding our logo to the sleeve (that will most likely be torn off at the event), NO!
Yes, we do offer wholesale/contract pricing for companies that qualify. Please contact us to receive the application to start a wholesale/contract account.
No problem, we print for large groups ranging from kids to adults all the time, whether it is a family reunion or a company picnic! We would set up print sizes that will fit the shirt's sizes accordingly, that way you don’t end up with a very tiny print on all your adult-size shirts. Be sure to have your size breakdown when you call and we’ll guide you through the process.
If you should need to take some samples back to the group to try on, just leave a deposit on your order, and we will provide you with everything you will need to get it squared away.
Yes we can as long you are getting your company logo or team name imprinted on the shirts as well. We do not offer individual names and numbers as a stand-alone service.
Unfortunately, no! These items are our personal property and the fees associated with them are for the time and labor it takes to produce them and set up your artwork/logo.

But, is always ready to assist and help with any need and direct me in the right directions. While directed in the right direction, I was directed to Corinna. Corinna is OUTSTANDING! I met them both in person, took a brief tour and from there it felt like family. They listened, understood, and executed with excellence. I highly recommend HITTN’ SKINS. 5 out of 5. Superior service, incredible quality, and FANTASTIC staff. Don’t look anywhere else and communicate with Brianna and Corinna to get all your service needs for your brand and business.

Both times, they met tight deadlines without compromising on the quality of the t-shirts. The designs were spot-on, and the print quality was excellent. Their team is professional, responsive, and truly understands the importance of meeting customer expectations. If you need high-quality custom t-shirts on a tight schedule, I highly recommend Hittn' Skins!
