How to Get Custom T-Shirt Printing in Sacramento

Whether you run a business, play in a band, or like to create art, custom screen-printed goods are a huge opportunity to promote yourself — and even generate income.

What Designs Can We Print?

We can print any artwork ranging from simple graphic logos to complex photographic designs. Our goal is to screen print anything, even designs other shops find too complicated or time-consuming to set up. We’ve developed a system for color separating artwork that takes very little time but still yields high-quality results, so we can give customers exactly what they want without adding setup or design fees to the cost.

How Does the Ordering Process Work?

Our ordering process is simple: upload your design to our quote form, let us know what garment you’d like it printed on, and we’ll send you a quote. Once it’s approved and paid, your order will be ready in 2-4 weeks — rush orders are available for an extra fee if you need it sooner.

Our pricing is based on several factors:

• The number of colors in a design — a full-color design counts as a 6-color print.
• The quantity of items being printed — the higher the quantity, the cheaper your per-unit cost.
• The value of the item you’re printing — we offer garments ranging from budget to premium.

You can use our pricing calculator to compare different pricing options.

Ink Types

We use three different types of screen-printing ink:

• Plastisol— the heaviest of the three. Bolder and higher in density than the other types, and can be felt on the surface of a shirt. Perfect for text and simple designs.
• Water-based— much lighter than plastisol. On a light-colored shirt, you can’t feel a water-based print at all; on darker shirts, you’ll feel a light layer, but it’s significantly thinner than plastisol.
• Discharge— allows prints on darker shirts that can’t be felt on the fabric at all, with a slightly grainier, more vintage look that some clients prefer.

If you don’t have a preference on ink type, we’ll use our best judgment to give you the highest-quality result.

Custom Colors

Our color palette is in no way limited — we can mix custom Pantone colors based on your original artwork at no extra charge.
