Built to Last
Every decoration method we use is engineered to hold up — wash after wash, wear after wear. No fading, no cracking, no peeling.
Wash Resistance
Won't Wash Off
Our prints are cured at high temperatures and bonded to the fabric at a molecular level. Machine wash on repeat — the print stays put.
Fade Resistance
Won't Fade Out
We use colorfast, UV-stable inks across every decoration method. Your design holds its vibrancy through sun exposure and extended wear.
Crack Resistance
Won't Crack or Peel
Flexible ink formulations and precision heat application mean your prints stretch with the garment — no cracking, no flaking, no peeling edges.
Not All Printers Are Created Equal
Everything is produced under one roof, from design review to final quality check.
Your order never leaves our facility until it ships to you. We control every step of decoration from design prep to final quality check.
Before production starts, a real person checks your files for resolution, color accuracy, and print compatibility. No automated guesswork.
Screen print, embroidery, DTG, heat transfer — we match the method to your product and design for the best possible outcome.
Every order gets a digital proof. You approve it. We don't start production until you're satisfied with how it looks.
Questions don't go to a queue. Our team is based in downtown Los Angeles and responds directly — by phone, email, or chat.
How We Print
Every decoration method in our facility follows strict production standards — because the details between setup and shipment are what separate a good print from a great one.
Screen Printing
Multi-pass ink layering with flash cure between each color
Quality outcome
Dense, vibrant color that bonds deep into fabric fibers for maximum wash durability.
Embroidery
Digitized at thread level with density calibration per fabric type
Quality outcome
Clean stitch definition, no puckering, holds shape through heavy use.
DTG Printing
Pre-treated garments with white ink base and high-resolution color pass
Quality outcome
Photo-quality detail reproduction with soft hand feel — no heavy plastisol layer.
Heat Transfer
Precision temperature and pressure calibration per material weight
Quality outcome
Even adhesion across the full print area, flexible finish that moves with the garment.
How We Handle Your Print Job
From design review to final quality check — every step is handled by our team, under one roof.
Free Design Review
Our in-house design team checks every file for resolution, color accuracy, and print compatibility before production begins.

Screen Print - Ink Types
SPECIALTY INKS
Eco-Friendly
Eco friendly inks + screen prints are the true green alternative to screen printing. These inks replace traditional harmful inks and are 100% PVC and phthalate free.
Stretch
Mostly used for athletic/activewear fabrics such as nylons, spandex, polyesters, rayons, lycra, that have a lot of stretch but can also be screen printed on other blends for different textures. These inks will make your prints stretch with the fabric and do not create cracks or creases when stretched. These should be printed on all sports jerseys, yoga apparel, athletic uniforms, and activewear.
3M Reflective
We offer the 3M reflective ink prints as well as a standard reflective print that come in either a water-based (eco-friendly) or plastisol-based ink with the unique ability to reflect once a light source is aimed at the print. Popular uses for this new ink includes police departments, fire departments, E.M.S., and other safety professions. Has recently become extremely popular in the skate, surf, urban, and street apparel industries.
Puff
Inks that expands and rises when heated, giving a three dimensional look with a raised feel. Any Los Angeles t-shirt printer can buy inks and print them, but the real beauty and art of screen printing on t-shirts comes when you can mix inks correctly and accurately. Controlling how the puff inks actually puff is one example.
Crack Ink Specialty Order Off-Site
Available in both water based and discharge inks. The ink actually cracks in pieces the way you want it to so no two pieces will be alike. Great for vintage washed out looks while still brand new. This is custom silk screen printing at its best.
Burn Out Specialty Order Off-Site
Burnout is a special screen printing process we use to removes the cotton fibers from a shirt, leaving only the polyester intact. It's perfect if you want to give your T-shirt designs that really cool see-through look.
Water-Based
Well known for their soft feel and vibrant colors they produce when printed onto t-shirts and other textiles. When printed water based inks leave no hand feel behind so you can feel the fibers of the garment.
Plastisol
Silk screen t-shirt printing with plastisol is the oldest and most commonly used ink across the market to screen print your custom t shirts. The misconception how ever is that all inks are the same.
High Density Specialty Order Off-Site
Perfect for creating custom silk screened T-shirts right here in Los Angeles. High Density inks can be matched to any color and rises in the drying process to create a 3D look. Inks can be raised to your desired height or width and can be printed with other high density inks of different sizes.
Flocking specialty order Off-site
Flocking screen printing can add a new dimension to your materials. Tiny particles of fiber are applied to a material with an adhesive, adding a suede-like or velvet texture to the surface. We color the fiber according to your designs, and you end up with products that stand out from the rest.
