Whatever your needs our art staff is well trained and eager to help. We can help you develop a concept and bring your ideas and artwork to life. Or, you can save time and money by submitting a digital file via email or diskette. If you already have a sophisticated knowledge of the screen printing process and would like to minimize your art charges, you can also submit camera ready art or film positives. We are confident our art department can accomodate any of your art needs.

Art labor is charged at $20.00 per 1/2 hour.

Concepts
(sketches, photocopies, photographs, ideas, etc.)

Our art staff is more than happy to develop artwork from a sketch, photocopy, photograph, or just an idea. They have experience with a variety of media and are very capable artists. Artwork submitted as a concept will need to go through the following Designing, Engineering and Separation Stages of development before it can be successfully screen printed.

Designing Stage - The artistic and creative process of developing a concept and creating a finished visual.

Engineering Stage - Screen printing is a unique printing process that allows us to print on textiles. Because of this, your artwork will have to be engineered specifically with the screen printing process in mind. This stage requires a technical knowledge of the screen printing process.

Separation Stage - Physically outputting the film separations needed to develop the actual screens.
