There are several types of ink used in the screen printing industry, including water-based and discharge inks. At Houston Print, we use Plastisol ink.

Plastisol is a type of ink that sits on top of the garment fibers, rather than soaking into them like water-based inks. We choose Plastisol because it delivers more vibrant and long-lasting prints, especially on darker garments.

You can often identify Plastisol by the slight texture you feel when touching the print. It’s one of the most widely used inks in the industry for good reason—it’s reliable, bold, and durable.

Houston Print has a turnaround time of 5 -7 Business Days to complete your order. We rely on the customer to check emails and approve or make changes in a timely manner to keep this turnaround time. If the customer delays an approval or a change request, the turnaround time will likely be affected.

IMPORTANT: As long as the area does not overlap a seam.

At Houston Print, we use automatic screen printing machines to ensure consistent, high-quality results. Before printing any customer order, our team performs tests on sample garments to check for print accuracy and quality. Once approved, the machine repeats the print until the operator stops it.

IMPORTANT: Garments are manufactured in factories by humans using machines, and they’re also loaded onto our printing machines by hand. While our equipment includes alignment lasers to aid precision, slight variations are normal. No two garments are exactly identical, which means placement might not be perfectly consistent across all items.

This does not mean prints should appear crooked—only that minor shifts are possible and to be expected with screen printing. Want proof? Take a tape measure to any big-name brand shirt at a retail store—you’ll likely notice similar variances.

Yes, but we need to know in advance. Small garments may require different setup or DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing if they do not fit our standard platens.

Yes. We print with Pantone (PMS) colors upon request. Please provide exact Pantone codes for your design. If no code is provided, we’ll match it as closely as possible by eye.

Yes, we allow customer-supplied garments. However, we’re not responsible for misprints or damage to customer-supplied items, as some garments are more difficult to print than others. As a machine is doing the "legwork", there is a possibility of machine failure during a run. For this reason, we typically have a 3% spoilage rate.

Yes, we offer artwork cleanup and design services for an additional fee. We maintain high standards to ensure your final product looks sharp and professional.

Rush orders are accepted on a case-by-case basis and may incur additional fees. Let us know your deadline when placing your order.

Because pricing depends on quantity, garment type, number of print locations, and number of colors, we provide custom quotes for each order.

Yes. Our minimum for screen printing is typically 24 pieces per design. For DTF or special cases, we may accommodate smaller runs—just ask!
