If you are looking for apparel printing, we would be happy to fulfill your needs, creating shirts printed with your designs and to your specifications, great for your business, restaurant, school group, organization, project, band, fraternity/sorority, group events, et cetera.

Custom shirts can add a lot to anything you may have going on.

Please look over our Info & Pricing page and contact us to get a personalized quote, or request a quote or get an instant estimate. Our minimum run of prints is just ten items for one-color printing, much lower than most companies in this industry, and we can do any amount of prints that you may need. And now that we do vinyl services, we can do one off shirts and names and numbers on the backs of team shirts.

We only use water-based and discharge Matsui brand inks for all of our printing. We are sure that Matsui inks will be revolutionary in the industry, as they have the best qualities of both water-based and plastisol inks. What this means most for you is that the white ink we use will not crack as most water-based inks do. Waterbased inks give a soft print compared to the PVC-based plastisol ink that most professional printers use. We offer many choices in ink colors and can custom mix a color if so desired. We specialize in discharge inks. Our turn around time is usually about a week, sometimes more and sometimes less depending on our print schedule, given that the desired blank garments are in stock at a close distribution center. We can order directly from Alternative, American Apparel, Alstyle, Independent and other brand distributors, but that will add time to the order. We can get many many types and colors of styles the next business day after ordering. Visit to see everything that we can get from our distributor.

If you are looking for a contract with a screen printing firm, please contact us for a contract price list. Any design firm is welcome to outsource print work to us, broadening the services offered while avoiding the investment of time, funds and effort required to learn how to successfully screen print, especially considering waterbased and discharge ink. E-mail us and we can discuss rates for contractual work.

Our history? We originally got into screen printing, oddly enough, to save money. Needing shirts for a new noise band, we contacted a friend of a friend who screen printed, and he offered to make us 50 shirts. We didn't want that many and we thought his price was too high, so we got a little screen printing kit from the art store to do it ourselves, and it grew from there.

Screen printing is our passion and we strive to produce perfect results in everything that we do.
