SCREEN PRINTING

Screen printing is the gold standard when it comes to producing vibrant, long lasting prints that stand up to time and wear. It's the process of pushing ink through fine mesh screens to create bold, durable, designs on garments-which is perfect for larger runs and repeat orders. While other methods like iron-ons, vinyl, or direct to film transfers fall under the broader umbrella of printing, we offer all types of printing based on your needs and wants Below we dive into when one type of printing may be better than another so you can decide what works best for you.

Iron On Prints

DTF printing is a newer technology that transfers full-color designs from a special film directly onto fabric using heat and pressure. It allows for detailed artwork, gradients, and small-batch orders without the setup costs that come with screen printing. DTF prints have a smooth feel and great color accuracy, making them perfect for short runs, one-offs, or designs with lots of colors and fine details. It’s a versatile method that works on a wide range of fabrics — including blends that can be tricky for screen printing.

What's Best?

If you’re ordering a larger quantity of shirts and want the longest-lasting print with that classic feel, screen printing is the way to go. It’s the most economical and professional option for big projects. But if you need smaller quantities, detailed artwork, or fast turnaround times, DTF printing is the better fit. At Cereal City Screen Printing, we offer both options — helping you choose the best process for your project, budget, and design goals.

Screen Printing

Screen Printing
Screen printing is a traditional and highly durable printing method that uses mesh screens to apply layers of ink directly onto garments. This process creates bold, vibrant designs that can withstand countless washes — making it ideal for bulk orders, team uniforms, and long-lasting apparel. Because each color requires its own screen and setup time, screen printing works best for larger quantities where you’re printing the same design on many shirts. It delivers unbeatable color quality and consistency, but it’s not always cost-effective for small runs or one-off prints.

ART WORK

Digital Artwork
Your print is only as good as the artwork you start with! Clean, high-quality digital files make all the difference when it comes to getting sharp, vibrant prints. If a design is low-resolution or fuzzy, it can show up that way on the shirt too. That’s why we always recommend sending crisp artwork with solid lines and clear colors — it helps us make your design look its absolute best when it hits the press.
