Blanks are typically ordered to test the fit, fabric, & feel but can also be purchased in bulk to customize on your own or be worn blank.

Eco friendly inks + screen prints are the true green alternative to screen printing. These inks replace traditional harmful inks and are 100% PVC and phthalate free.

Mostly used for athletic/activewear fabrics such as nylons, spandex, polyesters, rayons, lycra, that have a lot of stretch but can also be screen printed on other blends for different textures. These inks will make your prints stretch with the fabric and do not create cracks or creases when stretched. These should be printed on all sports jerseys, yoga apparel, athletic uniforms, and activewear.

We offer the 3M reflective ink prints as well as a standard reflective print that come in either a water-based (eco-friendly) or plastisol-based ink with the unique ability to reflect once a light source is aimed at the print. Popular uses for this new ink includes police departments, fire departments, E.M.S., and other safety professions. Has recently become extremely popular in the skate, surf, urban, and street apparel industries.

Well known for their soft feel and vibrant colors they produce when printed onto t-shirts and other textiles. When printed water based inks leave no hand feel behind so you can feel the fibers of the garment.

Inks that expands and rises when heated, giving a three dimensional look with a raised feel. Any Los Angeles t-shirt printer can buy inks and print them, but the real beauty and art of screen printing on t-shirts comes when you can mix inks correctly and accurately. Controlling how the puff inks actually puff is one example.

Silk screen t-shirt printing with plastisol is the oldest and most commonly used ink across the market to screen print your custom t shirts. The misconception how ever is that all inks are the same.

Specialty Order Off-Site

Available in both water based and discharge inks. The ink actually cracks in pieces the way you want it to so no two pieces will be alike. Great for vintage washed out looks while still brand new. This is custom silk screen printing at its best.

Perfect for creating custom silk screened T-shirts right here in Los Angeles. High Density inks can be matched to any color and rises in the drying process to create a 3D look. Inks can be raised to your desired height or width and can be printed with other high density inks of different sizes.

Burnout is a special screen printing process we use to removes the cotton fibers from a shirt, leaving only the polyester intact. It's perfect if you want to give your T-shirt designs that really cool see-through look.

Specialty Order Off-Site

Flocking screen printing can add a new dimension to your materials. Tiny particles of fiber are applied to a material with an adhesive, adding a suede-like or velvet texture to the surface. We color the fiber according to your designs, and you end up with products that stand out from the rest.

Examples include exemption of charitable organizations from property taxes and income taxes, veterans, and certain cross-border or multi-jurisdictional scenarios.
