Screen Printing

A tried and true method. The shirt you’re wearing right now was probably screen-printed. Looking for the best price and the best quality? Then this method is for you. Screen printing is more manual and even thought of as an art form by some. With screen printing, each graphic color is created by using its own screen. Ink is pressed through the screen and applied directly to the garment. Screen printing will give you the best bang for your buck. Pricing will be determined by the number of colors you want to print, the garment type, and a few other variables. We have multiple presses, automatic and manual, to help quickly turn around any size order and meet customer deadlines.


Design

It’s your vision and we're here to make it a reality. We are versed in multiple design programs that allow us to create exactly what you are looking for. Whether you are looking for a simple logo or an entire season’s line of designs we can handle it. We work with successful brands everyday and we know what it takes to create unique concepts and build them into sell-able items.

Embroidery

If you are looking for a premium product to help your business or brand stand out from the rest, embroidery is for you. With us offering embroidery, we are truly a one-stop shop for any brand trying to step up to the next level. We can stitch up to 15 colors at a time on many different items. Whether you’re looking to brand a polo, or a shirt, or looking to make custom hats we can take care of all those needs.


DTG Printing

Digital Printing, also known as Direct to Garment is state-of-the-art technology in the t-shirt game. This game changer can print full-resolution and full CMYK color images directly onto a shirt. This printer uses 100% water-based ink and creates a very soft hand to the print. This print method is perfect for those who prefer a 100% cotton garment to any other material blend. Digital printing is a great choice for anyone looking to get photo quality images or anyone looking to do smaller runs of shirts without paying the setup fees of traditional screen printing.


DTF Printing

DTF stands for Direct to Fabric, and it's a printing method that involves transferring a design directly onto fabric using specialized ink and transfer paper. This process allows for high-quality, full-color designs to be printed onto a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends compared to DTG which only works on cotton.

DTF transfers are a popular choice for businesses and individuals who want to create customized products such as t-shirts, bags, hats, and other fabric items. The flexibility of this printing method allows for a wide range of designs, including photographs, logos, and intricate patterns, to be printed onto fabric.

Overall, DTF transfers offer an exceptional quality and durability that makes them a popular choice for anyone looking to create high-quality, long-lasting, and customized fabric items.


Sublimation

Sublimation seems more like science than a method of printing. This printing method actually dyes into the fabric creating a permanent bond between the image and the shirt. Sublimation allows you to achieve vibrant images while keeping a completely smooth feel to the garment. This style of printing only works on light colored polyester products, but is capable of being used in many different applications.

Branding

This is where we set ourselves apart from many other print shops. We have unique insight of what it takes to build a brand. No matter where you may be in the branding process we can help you out. We’ve worked with brands that were starting from scratch all the way up to internationally recognized ones. Building a brand doesn’t just end with a printed shirt. The finishing touches are what can help brands rise above the rest. From hang-tags, to neck labels, to stickers, to social media marketing, we are here to make your brand stand out.

About Us

 

Micro Print Shop is a one stop shop for anyone aspiring to create a brand. Our name is based on the micro brewing art form, which focuses on small batch high quality products.

 

Micro Print Shop was created due to the lack of brand oriented print shops available to us. We wanted to create brands that were unique but couldn’t find any shops that offered the full package necessary to create an actual clothing brand. Things like design work, social media marketing and creating fully branded products were out of reach, so we decided to take matters into our hands and create our own branding solution.Our goal is to find other aspiring brand owners, just like us that are looking for more than just a printed shirt, someone who is looking to create a real brand through our guidance and expertise in the industry. This risk has become a reality and we are now working with all types of clients, from those starting from scratch to internationally recognized fashion brands.


We’ve learned from experience that quality products and attention to detail will always be priority when creating a brand. That’s why we offer products and services that most print shops would never think of. From conceptual design work to tagging and bagging, whatever you may need we can get it done. These are the crucial services that are often overlooked and can either make or break your brand. We’ve learned through experience what works and what doesn’t and we’re ready to pass that knowledge onto you, to create the next best brand.

FAQ


What services do you offer?

We offer screen printing, embroidery, dtg (direct to garment printing), sublimation, stickers, and design. We also offer other branding options like neck labeling, woven labels, bagging, and order fulfillment.


Do you have minimums?

The quick answer is yes and no. We have multiple print methods that each have their respective minimums. For traditional screen printing we have a 24 piece minimum. For services like embroidery, DTG printing, and sublimation typically there are no minimums. If you are printing the same design across different garments, like hoodies and t-shirts, they can be grouped together to count towards your total number of items to reach minimums.


What is your turnaround time?

Our standard turnaround time is two weeks from the date of payment. Smaller orders will usually be finished sooner. Turnaround time may be extended for larger orders or during busier times of the year. We also offer rush printing services but additional fees may apply.


Can you print on customer supplied garments?

Yes, we can but we don’t always recommend it. Not all garments print the same. We typically recommend brands and garments that we have tested in order to provide the best print results.  Printing on customer supplied goods sometimes means printing on new-to-us garments that can be troublesome for us as the printer and you as the customer. If customer supplied garments are damaged during the printing process we can only refund the printing cost. If we are supplying the garments and a damage occurs we will replace/refund the entire cost of the garment. We also do work directly with manufacturers and typically get garments at a discounted price, allowing us to pass down the savings to the customer.


What are your artwork requirements?

For most printing processes a vector Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file is the preferred file type. We may be able to use other high quality file formats such as Adobe Photoshop PSD, PDF, PNG, and sometimes JPEG. Lower resolution or difficult artwork may require additional artwork fees to make it print ready.


Can I get a quote?

Absolutely! When you are ready to get an order started please send us an email to Contact@microprintshop.com. In order for us to provide an accurate quote we will need the following information that will help us determine the best print method for your order. Please provide the following:

  • All artwork and design files. (.ai or .psd recommended)

  • Your preferred style/brand of garments and garment color options.

  • Total quantities and size breakdowns.

  • Any other specific design details. 

Once all information is received we will create a custom quote and proof along with mockups for you to review.
