What is screen printing?
Screen printing, also known as silk screen printing, is one of the most durable and vibrant methods for decorating apparel. At its core, the process uses a fine mesh stencil—called a screen—to press specialty inks through each color layer of your design. This method produces rich, long-lasting prints that hold up wash after wash, making it ideal for bulk T-shirt printing, uniforms, and promotional apparel.
At Hittn’ Skins, our in-house screen printing department in Downtown Orlando runs on professional automatic presses for precision alignment and consistent print quality. Each color in your artwork is individually registered, tested, and cured at high temperatures to ensure lasting durability and a smooth, soft finish.
We offer multiple printing styles including Spot Color, Simulated Process, Process Color, and Special Effect Inks such as puff, metallic, and high-density prints—giving you endless creative possibilities for your brand or event. Whether you’re outfitting a local brewery, school, or business team, our screen printing delivers the perfect mix of craftsmanship and value.
Screen Printing Ink Options for Custom T-Shirts
At Hittn’ Skins, we use only premium-grade inks to deliver rich color, long-lasting wear, and the smooth, soft feel that defines top-tier custom screen printed apparel. Whether you’re ordering bulk T-shirts, branded uniforms, or event merch, our expert team helps you choose the best ink type to match your fabric, finish, and design style.
Below are the most popular ink options available in our Orlando screen printing shop, each suited for different creative and performance needs:
Plastisol Ink – The Industry Standard for Bold, Durable Prints
Plastisol inks are the go-to for vibrant, opaque designs that pop on nearly any fabric. They sit slightly raised on the surface, producing a sharp, professional finish ideal for corporate apparel, retail brands, and promotional merch. This ink type holds color exceptionally well through countless washes, making it the most common choice for high-volume T-shirt printing.
Water-Based Ink – Soft, Breathable, and Eco-Friendly
Water-based inks absorb into the garment fibers instead of sitting on top, giving your shirts a lightweight, soft-touch feel. They’re perfect for vintage-style prints, tonal artwork, and eco-conscious brands. These inks are best for lighter-colored cotton shirts and projects needing a more natural, worn-in look.
Discharge Ink – Vintage Finish on Dark Garments
Discharge printing uses a bleaching agent to remove dye from the shirt fabric, replacing it with new pigment. The result is a soft, breathable print that looks and feels part of the shirt itself. It’s ideal for dark 100% cotton fabrics when you want a vintage finish without heavy ink layers. (Pro tip: Discharge inks can vary slightly by fabric blend, so our production team always tests for consistency before your order goes to press.)
Special Effect Inks – Stand Out With Texture and Shine
Take your design to the next level with specialty finishes like puff, metallic, high-density, or glow-in-the-dark inks. These effects add depth, texture, and visual appeal that truly make your brand stand out. Great for limited-edition drops, streetwear collections, and event merch.
Screen Printing Methods & Color Techniques
Spot Color Screen Printing
Spot color screen printing uses individual, solid inks to produce clean, bold graphics with exceptional color accuracy. It’s ideal for logos, text-based designs, and high-contrast artwork where each hue needs to stand strong and vibrant. This method is the industry standard for branded apparel, team uniforms, and company shirts, offering unbeatable durability and consistency.
Process Color Screen Printing (CMYK)
Process printing blends four transparent ink colors — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (CMYK) — to reproduce full-color images with photographic quality. This technique is best for complex or detailed designs like posters, photo-based prints, and retail-grade merch that require smooth gradients or detailed tones.
Simulated Process Screen Printing
Simulated process (Sim Process) combines the precision of spot color with the tonal blending of CMYK. It’s perfect for highly detailed, multi-tone artwork such as illustrations, gradients, or photo-realistic designs. This method allows for more vibrant and dynamic results than standard process printing, even on dark garments.
For smaller print runs (typically 12–47 shirts), you might consider Direct-to-Garment (DTG) or Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing for a cost-effective alternative that still delivers premium quality.

FAQ
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!

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.
