screen printing

We do not have a stock of album or cd cases to print on- but we can easily order any color/size/paper stock with your guidance and then screen print on them.  

We can design the artwork for your album or cd or print your design as long as you send it as a vector in layers (and at least 300 dpi).  Contact us for more information. 

SHIRTS:  We currently have 100% Cotton American Apparel shirts in stock in many colors and sizes.  If you desire a different brand, we can show you catalogs and prices to order the style/brand you would like.  

INK: Our T-shirt inks are Water based and better for the environment than the industry standard inks called Plastisols.  Water based inks will not wash out of your t-shirt.  They are designed to stay on the material for up to 30+ years after we have cured the ink.  Aside from the eco-friendly aspect, we also prefer water based inks because they have a “soft-hand” which means that they are not thick, hard, and plastic feeling like the plastisol inks.  

QUANTITY:  We ask that you order a minimum of 18 shirts and we can print up to 500 shirts per order (for orders of 300 or more- please give us an extra 3 business days). 

SCREENS:  For every color in your design we charge a $40 screen set-up fee.  If you plan to return for more shirts using the same design- you will not have to pay this fee again. We will hold your screens at your request.  

TURN-AROUND: Please give us 3-5 business days from the day we receive the final version of your artwork/design.  

DESIGN: We are happy to design your t-shirt or work with images you provide.  If you are providing the design please send us a 300 dpi vector either as .eps or .pdf or .ai.  

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call us.  Ask for Jeanna or Lindsay!

PAPER:  We have some poster papers in stock at Basecamp, and we order paper according to your design.   Please choose your paper color and size on the French paper website, and if we are designing your poster- please let us know if you have any color preferences.  We can print up to 18”x24”.   The most common sizes are 11”x17” and 12”x18”. 

INK: We use water based acrylic inks which are archival quality and will not run if they get wet.  We currently mix colors the old fashioned way (with our eyes and color tests)- so please expect slight shade/hue differences between the design you see on the computer screen and the final screen printed result. 

PRICING:  Prices vary depending on the size of your poster, number of colors in the design, and the quantity of prints you would like in total.  Please contact us with design and quantity specifications for an accurate price quote.

DESIGN:  If you are sending your own design for us to print, be sure to send us the vector formats with color separations and any necessary trapping (to ensure tight registration).  If you would like us to design a poster, please give us ALL the information for the event poster with correct spelling and accurate dates before we begin the design. Contact us to discuss pricing and let us know your budget so we can try to work within it.  

Please expect 3-5 business day turn around from the day that the final design is received or completed by us. 

We can easily print on canvas bags and aprons of your choice.  We currently do not carry a stock of bags or aprons- but we can help you find the right colors/sizes and order them according to your project needs.  You can also bring in bags and aprons and we will gladly print on them for you. 

Expect a 3-5 (business day) turn-around from the day we finalize the design with you.
