Screen printing tips, techniques, and shop updates from Screen Tek — covering sharp prints on custom t-shirts, large-scale production runs, color matching against brand standards, ink choice (plastisol, water-based, discharge), special effects, and the differences between retail print jobs and contract screen printing for resellers.
Articles include practical guidance on getting your artwork press-ready, knowing when screen printing beats embroidery or DTF, and how to plan an order so the per-shirt cost works in your favor. Posts also walk through real shop projects — Connecticut team uniforms, event tees, fundraiser drops, and retail brand collections — so you can see the decisions behind a successful print. New to ordering screen-printed apparel or scaling up your first big run, start here.
