Screen Printing
Screen Printing at Untapped Merch: The Core of What We Do
At Untapped Merch, screen printing isn’t just a service — it’s the foundation of our craft. Since our start in 2015, we’ve built our business around creating bold, vibrant prints that last, combining modern technology with the artistry of traditional screen printing.
Our Process
Every color in your design is carefully separated and burned onto its own screen, creating stencils that allow us to layer ink with precision. While this setup requires time and detail, our professional-grade equipment ensures the process is fast, efficient, and consistent — no matter the order size.
Plastisol Inks
We use Plastisol inks when you want maximum vibrancy and durability. These inks sit on top of the fabric, producing bold colors and crisp detail that withstand wash after wash. Perfect for large runs, team uniforms, or branded apparel that needs to make a statement.
Water-Based Inks
For a softer, eco-friendly option, we offer water-based inks. Unlike Plastisol, these inks absorb into the fibers of the fabric, leaving a breathable, retail-quality finish with a “no-feel” touch. They’re also better for the environment, making them a favorite for brands that want sustainability with style.
Why Screen Printing Matters
Screen printing is our bread & butter — it’s how Untapped Merch was built, and it remains our primary focus today. Every print we produce reflects our commitment to quality, creativity, and community. Whether you’re ordering tees for your business, hoodies for your team, or merch for your event, our screen printing process ensures your vision is brought to life with care.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is screen printing?
Screen printing is a printing method where ink is pushed through a stencil (screen) onto fabric, creating bold, vibrant, and long-lasting designs.
What kinds of garments can you screen print on?
We primarily print on t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and other flat apparel items. Screen printing works best on cotton and cotton-blend fabrics.
What inks do you use?
We offer both Plastisol inks (durable, vibrant, long-lasting) and water-based inks (eco-friendly, breathable, soft-to-the-touch finish).
What’s your turnaround time?
Standard turnaround is 10–15 business days after artwork approval and payment. Rush orders may be available for an additional fee.
Can I provide my own garments?
Yes, we accept customer-supplied garments, but please note that Untapped Merch is not liable for any damage or misprints since we cannot guarantee fabric quality we don’t supply.
Is screen printing eco-friendly?
Our water-based inks are eco-friendly and produce a soft, premium finish. For clients focused on sustainability, this is a great option.
What if there are misprints?
We follow strict quality control, but in the rare case of misprints, our spoilage policy applies. Typically, spoiled prints under 3% will not be reprinted.
