It’s a timeless memento that can take you right back to your first concert. The artwork, the soft feel of the ink and the relaxed fit are all characteristics of your favorite shirt. We remember the entrancing stories of fans purchasing the now vintage Led Zeppelin Tour shirts in 1977. It's art like the “Swan Song” winged man that makes screen printing the passion and industry we want to disrupt. We’ll undoubtedly put the same passion into your brand.

Screen Printing
The most traditional and popular form of garment printing. The stencil of your graphic is developed onto a screen, and ink is then pushed through the mesh to transfer your graphic onto your garment. Each color requires a separate screen, but it produces high quality prints that will hold up for a long time. This method of printing is cost effective for large quantity orders.

Plastisol vs. Discharge
Plastisol
Printing with plastisol is the most common way to screen print. The colors are vibrant, durable, and come in a wide-range of choices. It does not interfere with the fabric’s dye or color, allowing for the application of any shade or color.
Discharge
Discharge inks remove the dye of the garment and print the top color directly into it. This is able to give you bright bold colors while keeping a soft hand-feel when produced on 100% cotton garments.

DTG Digital Printing
DTG works much like an office printer, except instead of printing on paper it prints directly onto fabric with waterbased ink. Because there are not the set up costs associated with screen printing, it can save you money if you are doing a small batch of garments with high color artwork. Also great for one-off on demand orders that need to be produced individually.
