About
Report
Our business started like many others, one step at a time with a relentless drive and determination to succeed.
After several years of printing at home for bands, friends, and local businesses, I finally came to the conclusion that my house was simply too small to house the ever expanding printing operation.
In June of 2012, I moved the shop to downtown Richmond on 7th street.
Since then we have steadily grown our customer base enabling us to expand our equipment capabilities.
In early 2013 we added an automatic press for printing flat stock posters and small signs.

Print Process
Report
Screen Printing is a stencil based print process.
Modern screen printing combines digital technology with proven "analog" technology to create your final product.
Screen printing (also known as silk screening) is one of the oldest methods of printmaking.
Many trace the screen process back to the Song dynasty in China, however historian and author Guido Lengwiler writes that the early processes in China hardly resemble what we consider modern screen printing, and the growth of the industry as a whole can be more attributed to the massive demand for printed felt pennants in the early 1900s.

Our minimum order is 12 pieces per design but some complex designs require a larger minimum.
As screen printers we can't control everything with our garments.
Occasionally, defective garments arrive, misprints occur, and screens break.
This doesn't happen often but we do ask that you allow for up to 4% shortage on your order.
For the most part, this is a rare event but it never hurts to order extras.
If you need exact numbers, please note this when you place your order.
In the case that your order is short, we do not charge you for the missing garments.
