Yo, what’s up guys? It’s your boy Matt Doke here, and I’ve got to say, as a screen printer, I’ve learned a thing or two about the importance of using high quality materials. When it comes to producing garments, cost is always a factor, but I believe that investing in higher quality materials is always worth it in the long run. Take ringspun cotton, for example. This stuff is the real deal when it comes to producing T-shirts, hoodies, and other garments that are subjected to frequent wear and tear. It’s spun in a way that creates a softer, more durable fabric, which means your garments will look and feel amazing wash after wash. On the other hand, if you go with a cheaper, lower quality fabric, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Cheap fabrics are more prone to fading, pilling, and shrinking, which means your garments won’t look or feel as good over time. Trust me, I’ve seen it happen too many times. So if you want garments that are going to stand the test of time and that your customers are going to love, it’s worth investing in ringspun cotton. It might cost a little more upfront, but in the long run, it’s worth it.

Screen printing is a popular method of printing that has been used for decades in the printing industry. It involves creating a screen with a stencil of the desired design, and using that screen to apply ink to a substrate. There are several reasons why screen printing is often considered superior to other printing methods, such as direct-to-garment (DTG) and direct-to-film (DTF).
One of the main advantages of screen printing is its durability. Screen printed designs are more resistant to fading and cracking than designs printed with other methods. This makes screen printing a great choice for printing items that will be worn or used frequently, as the designs are more likely to last.
Another advantage of screen printing is its versatility. Screen printing can be used on a wide variety of substrates, including fabric, paper, wood, and more. This makes it a great choice for printing a wide range of products, from t-shirts to signs to promotional items.
Screen printing is also highly customizable. With screen printing, you can use a wide range of ink colors and textures, and you can print on various types of fabric, including 100% cotton, polyester, and blends. This allows you to create a wide range of looks and effects, from simple one-color prints to complex multi-color designs.
In comparison, DTG and DTF printing methods have some limitations. DTG printing, which involves printing directly onto fabric using inkjet technology, is typically only suitable for printing on light-colored fabrics and can be more expensive than screen printing. DTF printing, which involves printing onto a film that is then transferred onto a substrate, is limited to printing on flat, rigid surfaces and may not produce as durable of a print as screen printing.
Overall, screen printing is a highly effective and reliable printing method that offers a range of benefits over DTG and DTF printing. Its durability, versatility, and customizability make it a great choice for a wide range of printing needs.

Some of our good friends went out for a night on the town at Lumberjack Attack in Broken Arrow for a little axe throwing. They surprised me by making this awesome promo video. The production value is off the charts. The VFX team nailed it. Thank you to Nick, Chrissy and Aaron for the hard work.

We had a late night at the shop a couple of days ago and I when everything got quiet I took a moment to share some thoughts and cram print school down your throat one more time.

When we passed out our Christmas bonuses this year we gave all of our key employees small small personal note to illustrate how much we love them and got their reaction on video.
A glimpse of our screen printing production room from December 11, 2020 as we were wrapping up on some short sleeve and long sleeve t-shirts for Ram Concrete Pumping Co. These shirts all had American flags on the sleeves a 3 color logo on the left chest of the shirts and a 6 color simulated process logo on the back of the shirts. All of the screen printing was done on Anatol presses.
