Three Ink Systems

Choose the ink to match the garment, the feel, and the finish. We'll recommend based on your artwork, fabric, and brand.

01

Plastisol

The workhorse. Vibrant, durable, opaque. Sits on top of the fabric with a defined feel. Standard for most commercial runs.

02

Water-Base

Soft hand-feel, print soaks into the fibre. Best on light garments and for that lived-in, vintage look.

03

Discharge

Bleaches the garment dye and replaces it with your brand colour. Breathable, soft, and a premium finish on dark cotton.

[ PRODUCTION_WORKFLOW ]

How It Works

01

Artwork Verification

If your artwork is flawed, production stops. We vectorize and separate your design to guarantee flawless registration.

02

Screen Engineering

Each colour gets its own screen using high-tension mesh for razor-sharp detail and heavy ink deposit.

03

Production Run

Industrial automatic press executes the run with micro-registration for perfect colour alignment across every single unit.

04

Quality Assurance

Every piece is verified off the belt - registration, ink coverage, and cure temperature checked before packing.

05

Dispatch

Folded, boxed, and shipped Australia-wide. Direct from our Moorabbin facility to your door.

[ FAQ // SCREEN_PRINT ]

Quick Answers

01

What's the minimum for screen printing?

25 units per design for prints up to 4 colours. 50 units minimum for 5+ colours, because the setup cost (one screen per colour) scales. Need fewer? Our DTF Digital Print service has no minimum and no setup fee.

02

How many colours can you print?

Up to 8 colours per location. Each colour requires a separate screen and setup, so the MOQ steps up at 5+ colours to 50 units.

03

What is the setup fee?

$60 per colour, per location. For example, a 2-colour front print is $120 setup. This is a one-time fee. Reprints waive setup costs unless artwork changes.

04

Can you match exact brand colours?

Yes. We Pantone-match every commercial run - custom inks mixed to your exact brand colours.

05

What garments work best?

Cotton and cotton-blend tees, hoodies, crewnecks, and polos. We stock premium blanks from AS Colour, American Apparel, Gildan, Ramo, and other trade suppliers.

06

Do you offer discharge printing?

Yes. Discharge ink gives a soft, breathable hand-feel on dark garments. It bleaches the garment dye and replaces it with your brand colour.

07

What artwork files do you need?

Vector files are ideal (AI, EPS, SVG) with fonts outlined. We also accept 300 dpi PNGs at full print size with a transparent background. Clean artwork is vectorised free on commercial runs. Complex redraws start at $60.
