Standard Plastisol Screen Printing

With Plastisol Ink, you can create a traditional design that sits on top of the fabric. Any garment or fabric can be printed with these inks. From the simplest one-colour image to the most detailed, photo-realistic imaging, Plastisol is the clear winner. We at GetBold can print almost all fabrics using Standard Plastisol Ink, including t-shirts, hoodies, sweaters and more.

Screen Printing

Pantone Matching

We use the Pantone Solid Coated book for precise ink mixing. If you provide a Pantone colour from this book, we can match it exactly. For online colour references or hex codes, we will match as closely as possible, but keep in mind that screen displays in Illustrator or other design programs are not always accurate. For the best results, we recommend using a Pantone book less than one year old. If you require a specific colour but you do not have the Pantone code, we recommend booking an appointment in our showroom to choose directly from our books.

Screen Printing 1-8 Colours

We can screen print up to 8 colours per design. Each colour or shade requires a separate screen, with ink applied one layer at a time. For example, a design with 5 shades of grey counts as 5 colours since each shade needs its own screen and the more colours you have, the higher the unit cost. For those starting a clothing brand, we recommend 1-2 colour prints with a minimum of 24 units per design to keep costs manageable.

Gradients & Halftone Dots

We can’t print transparencies in screen printing since we require solid images, which poses challenges for effects like gradients and fades. To achieve these effects, we use halftone dots—small dots that gradually decrease in size as the image fades. This technique allows us to simulate gradients and even create the illusion of more than 8 colours by overlapping dots of different sizes to add depth and shading.
