Custom Screen Printing: A Quick History Lesson
Remember when people used to buy bolts of fabric from the town general store and sewed their own clothes? Ah, the good old days. Chances are, you don’t personally remember living in such times. If you do, all the power to you. If you were born less than a century ago, you probably still get the idea. All apparel was custom apparel back then. And though screen printing technically existed as far back as the late 900’s A.D., custom screen printing certainly wasn’t widely available.
During the twentieth century, screen printing was used for military apparel, posters, and many other things. That is all well and good but the wonders of true, modern custom screen printing saw its glorious birth in the 1960’s. A special type of custom screen printing machine was designed, revolutionizing the production of screen printing. Add in prolific pop artists like Andy Warhol, and you have the birth of real custom screen printing.
Today, custom screen printing is immensely popular. Ink formulas have been refined, screen printing technology has advanced, and our screen printers have perfected their technique. All this has culminated in the wonderful beast custom screen printing is in the present. Custom screen printing is accessible, versatile, and useful. It’s time for you to get on board and take advantage of modern custom screen printing capabilities.

- You place your order and create your design. You can send us vector image files or work with our professional designers to create the custom t-shirt or other custom screen printed design.
- We prep the screen. Custom screen printing is accomplished by creating a stencil (or multiple stencils) of the design on silkscreens. We won't get into the technical weeds here, but if you are interested in precisely how we screen printers make your custom screen printing designs into reality, talk to one of our talented screen printing technicians.
- We add the ink. Our designers select and prep special ink formulated just for screen printing and apply it to your t-shirts, hoodies, or other custom screen printing products on a press. It takes special skill to get the design to line up precisely and get the ink to lay at the right consistency.
- It's dry time. Next, the ink is cured into a solid (but flexible) state to make the design permanent. We expose our freshly printed products to the exact temperature needed to cure the ink.
- You enjoy. After the ink is cured, we send your custom screen printing order out the door. It is ready for you to enjoy and show off to the world!
