Screen Printing Master Class: How to Match Ink and Technique to Your Garment and Design

In the Season 2 premiere, Rich sits down with Tyler (National Creative Director of Product) for a deep dive into the art and science of screen printing.

This episode is a practical masterclass on choosing the right decoration method—based on both garment type and design style. From 100% cotton and blends to polyester, Tyler breaks down how different fabrics interact with inks and techniques like plastisol, discharge, and sublimation.

They also cover how to approach different art styles—photorealistic, vintage, vector, and all-over prints—and how specialty inks like puff, metallic, and glitter can elevate even the simplest designs. Plus, a look into mixed media options including embroidery, transfers, and rhinestones.

Whether you're building a brand or refining your production process, this episode gives you a clear framework for making smarter print decisions.
