What
is "screen" printing?
The screen printing process itself is actually quite simple. A screen
(similar to a window screen but much finer) is stretched tightly on a
square, rectangular, or tubular frame. Part of the screen is blocked
with a stencil, leaving open mesh areas that will become the printed
image. Next, ink is deposited on the screen and a flexible plastic or
rubber blade (called a squeegee) is used to press the ink through the
areas of screen not blocked by the stencil. As the ink passes through
the screen, the design is "printed" on the item below.
How
long does it take to get a finished job?
It depends on what you order. The average turnaround time for a
digitally-produced product is just seven days. Custom orders
that are repeats and don't require a proof are ready in three to five
days. Custom orders that require a proof are typically delivered one to
two weeks after receipt of the final approved proof.
Please
keep in mind that delivery times may be shorter or longer depending on
the simplicity or complexity of the specific job. Of course, we'll try
to accommodate whatever lead time you specify-just ask us!
What's
the minimum amount I have to order?
The minimum order is one! We're always happy to make a single product
for you. Keep in mind that the more you order, the less expensive each
item typically will be. The minimum order is $25.
What
are "quantity breaks?"
The more you order, the more you save, because designing artwork and
setting up the press for your job takes the same amount of work whether
we print one or one million of your product. We typically offer prices
for different quantities, called "quantity breaks," so you can see
which is more economical for your needs.
Do
you deliver?
Yes! We deliver within Seminole and Orange Counties (FL). All other
shipments are sent UPS ground prepaid unless otherwise specified. All
deliveries are shipped F.O.B. Longwood, typically via UPS.
