Our Services
WHAT WE DO

We do so much for so many, we don't even know how we keep up with ourselves. Here's some it...

Screen Printing
Automatics. Manuals. Hat Presses. Jacket Jigs. We got 'em all. Twelve shirts or twelve thousand shirts; whatever you need, we can get done. And the quality of the work screams for itself.

Embroidery
That's right, we do both! Now you don't have to worry about where to send screen printed goods that need embroidery. We'll also wash your car and do your taxes! No, not really.

Vinyl Numbers & Names, Heat Transfers
Your team needs numbers and names? Or maybe a small run of tees with a full color design on them? Heat transfer, baby. Its the right thing to do and the right way to do it.

Custom Graphic Design and Artwork
Our in-house design is awesome, its the hotness. We got designs that ain't monotonous. 'Nuff said.

Logo Restore and Re-create
This can sometimes be your biggest headache. Lousy jpegs; low-res gif's from the web; tiny art from a business card. We can fix it for you, just send it in. Now. Doooooo it.

Imri Merritt in the art department handles all the incoming art, separations, and custom design work. He attended University of The Arts in Philadelphia, where he leraned all kinds of design techniques on the latest graphics programs, and how to use his illustration talents in the digital realm. He wanted to take cooking but they didn't have that. A showcase of his work will soon be available in our gallery section.

But it takes more than skills and talent to produce the professional quality we're known for. Thats where the 18 years of experience we have in the business comes in. With an art department that works directly with the production department, we take quality control to places beyond your wildest fantasies. OK maybe not that far. But we do make sure that you get exactly what you want; colors, size, placement, ink density, and any special requests.

Basic Layout and Typesetting

Typesetting is basically setting up text and laying it out properly to go along with a provided design, or changing exisiting type already in a design. It involves working with fonts, layout, and type treatments, and usually requires less time and effort than a custom artwork or logo recreation order.

Usually it takes less than an hour, so its the minimum design fee customers will pay for a job if the files need to be modified Some designs, which require extensive typesetting, design, copywriting, or proofing will fall under a normal hourly art charge.

If you're not sure how much typesetting or design work you need, ask us for a quote on your job. Include a description of the work to be done, along with any existing files, or reference links you have. You can also send us boxes of donuts, they help us think.

Custom Artwork

So, you know what you want, but you don't have the artwork? Thats where our art department comes in. We work from your ideas to create a professional logo, illustration, layout, advertisement, or design that you will love. Here are just a few examples of some recent custom artwork and designs by Imri. Click the thumbnails below to see a larger version.

Logo Recreation

Need a new logo? Lost your old one? Its not uncommon to need a revised version of an original logo, for a variety of reasons. Whatever the case, we can help. Simply submit the best verison you have, and we will take a look and let you know if it can be used for screen printing. If it cannot, we'll give you an instant quote as far as time and cost to recreate (or touch-up) your existing logo. Chances are, we can deliver in less time and for less cost than you might think. And you get to keep the file for future use.

Generally, the ideal format you want to have for a logo is vector, because it is scalable (able to be resized without any loss in quality). Files of this type are used in Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, and Flash, and are sometimes referred to as "outlines" or "line art". Typical extensions are .ai and .eps. Vector files can also be saved in Acrobat as a .pdf.
If all you have is a bitmap image (.gif, .jpg, .png, or .psd) you should consider getting it, or having recreated, in vector format. Detailed information about file types and graphics considerations will be found in the FAQ section soon.
