What's the minimum order for silk screen printing?
Silk screen printing is most cost-effective at 12 or more pieces per design. The setup process — burning a screen for each color — means larger orders bring the per-piece cost down significantly. Contact us and we'll walk you through the best options for your quantity.
How long will my silk screen print last?
With proper care, silk screen prints are designed to last for years. Our heat-cured inks bond directly into the fabric. We recommend washing inside out in cold water and avoiding high-heat dryers to keep your print looking its best.
How many colors can I use in my design?
Each color in your design requires a separate screen. We handle designs from 1-color simple logos up to multi-color artwork. We can also match Pantone colors for brand consistency. If you're unsure about your color count, our team will review your file and advise on the best approach.
What file formats do you accept?
We prefer vector files (.ai, .eps, .pdf) for the cleanest results. High-resolution raster files (.png, .psd at 300 dpi or higher) also work for most designs. If you only have a low-res logo or a rough idea, our team can help get your artwork print-ready.
What's the difference between silk screen and DTF or heat transfer printing?
Silk screen printing pushes ink directly through a stencil onto the garment — it's the most durable and vibrant method for larger orders with bold designs. DTF (Direct to Film) and heat transfers are better suited for small quantities or highly detailed, photographic artwork. We offer both at 25M Printing, and our team will recommend the right method for your specific job.
