Understanding the Screen Printing Process
The Basics of Screen Printing
Screen printing, also known as silk screen printing, is a method we use to create custom t-shirts. The process begins with a frame made of wood or aluminum.
A fine mesh, usually made of silk or nylon, is stretched over this frame. We then use stencils to block out parts of the screen, allowing ink to pass through only where the design is intended. This technique ensures precise and vibrant prints on a variety of garments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Custom Printing Services
How many silk screen colors can Nova print?
Nova Custom Printing can print up to six spot colors with basic silk screening. For dark-colored garments, we typically use five colors plus white. For designs requiring more colors, we employ CMYK full-color printing, which is best suited for light-colored shirts and allows for an unlimited number of colors.
What is dye sublimation printing?
Dye sublimation printing uses heat to transfer dye onto garments, producing images with photographic-like quality and continuous tones. This method works best on synthetic fabrics, such as polyester.
What is discharge printing?
Discharge printing, also known as extract printing, is ideal for custom t-shirts and shirts made from 100% cotton. This process involves using a color-removing agent to bleach dark-colored garments, creating a light-colored area that can be printed on.
It is especially effective for printing full-color CMYK designs on dark fabrics, resulting in vivid and bright images with a softer feel.
What is direct to garment printing (DTG)?
Direct to garment printing (DTG) is a high-quality inkjet printing process that produces photorealistic images on garments. DTG printing offers a softer feel compared to heat transfer printing and is ideal for reproducing photos on clothing.
