Screen printing

Automatic presses, thick inks that stay sharp wash after wash, and a cost per piece that falls as the run grows.

  • Automatic presses
  • Multi colour designs
  • Best value on big runs

On the press

Why automatic presses.

Ink pressed through a mesh screen onto the garment. We specialise in automatic screen printing: consistent, high quality results on small and large runs.

  1. Black ink pulled across a pink screen on one of our automatic presses

    Larger screens

    Room for bigger, more complex designs.

  2. Multiple screens

    More colours in a single design.

  3. The rotary press turning, yellow ink on the screen

    Rotary systems

    Faster production and a more consistent print from the first piece to the last.

Why it works

What you get.

  • A freshly printed purple t-shirt laid out on the dryer belt
    01

    A high quality finish

    Rich, vibrant colour that other methods struggle to match. Bold and professional.

  • 02

    Durability

    Thick inks that resist fading and cracking, and stay sharp through heavy wear and washing.

  • 03

    Cost effective on large orders

    One screen per colour, so the more you print of the same design, the lower the cost per piece.
