Custom Screen & Digital Printing Services Near Decatur Illinois
Screen Printing
Screen printing is a technique that has been around for thousands of years, specifically around 1000 AD, but was first introduced in a more modern sense in the early 1960s when printed t-shirts were becoming exceedingly trendy. Once multi-colored screen printing was introduced, the t-shirt printing industry changed forever and has only increased in popularity over the past 60 years.
This process of printing is created using a combination of modern technology with large quantities of ink on a large and flat metal surface. Pressing the ink through a mesh stencil, or silkscreen, into the fabric will create the desired image or logo in a matter of minutes. This technique is extremely popular for creating custom apparel (generally in large quantities) and is most widely known across the world.
Digital Garment Printing
Digital garment printing is a much newer printing method, having only been around for just over 15 years. Using a special printer infused with water-based ink, our professionals apply the ink directly to the cotton fabric to create any custom look or logo you desire.
Hats
Our hat press machine allows us to apply designs, logos, and graphics to hats and caps with precision. Designed to fit the natural curve of a hat, this machine ensures a smooth and professional transfer process. With the perfect blend of heat and pressure, we ensure the secure and precise application of various materials onto hats.
We use the Hotronix® Fusion 360 IQ® Hat Press, known for its dual heat application, which utilizes both upper and lower heating elements for even heat distribution. The curved platen holds the hat firmly in place while allowing for easy positioning, ensuring efficiency and accuracy. This advanced technology allows us to create crisp, vibrant, and long-lasting designs. Our hat press allows us to create high-quality custom hats that make a lasting impression.
Direct to Film Printing
Our Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing brings designs to life with bold, high-quality prints. We print onto a specialized transfer film and use heat and pressure to apply it directly onto the fabric. This method creates full-color, long-lasting prints on cotton, polyester, blends, and more. Unlike traditional printing, DTF prints stay vibrant, flexible, and soft to the touch, ensuring comfort and durability.
We use the Prestige R2 Pro DTF Printer, which delivers crisp details and rich colors for standout designs. This advanced technology ensures high-resolution prints with superior adhesion, keeping your custom apparel looking great wash after wash. Whether for personal use, businesses, or events, our DTF printing process provides a professional, high-quality finish that lasts.
