What is Custom Screen Printing?

A Brief Overview

Custom screen printing is a printing technique where ink is pushed through a mesh screen onto a surface — typically fabric. Sounds simple? Think again. Behind the scenes is a meticulous process involving screens, squeegees, precision, and a whole lotta creativity.

Why is it So Popular?

From business branding to event merch, custom screen printing offers unmatched durability and vibrancy. Unlike digital printing, screen printing allows for thicker ink deposits, meaning your designs won’t fade after a few washes. It’s a classic for a reason, folks.

The History Behind 10:9 Design LLC

10:9 Design LLC isn’t just another print shop. Born from a passion for design and a mission to glorify Jesus Christ, founders DeWayne and Jamie Kelley took their skills and vision to the next level in 2009. With DeWayne’s background in Graphic Design and Jamie’s dedication to education, they built a brand that blends creativity with purpose. By 2017, they had taken the plunge and officially became an LLC — and the rest is history!

How Does Custom Screen Printing Work?

Step 1: Design Preparation

First things first — the design. This is where your vision comes to life. At 10:9 Design, we use top-notch graphic software to fine-tune every detail. Whether it's a bold logo or intricate artwork, we prep it for screen printing perfection.

Step 2: Screen Creation

Next, each color in your design gets its own screen. We coat the screens in a light-sensitive emulsion and expose them to UV light, creating a stencil. This process requires a sharp eye and steady hand — one slip, and it’s back to square one.

Step 3: Printing

Here comes the fun part! Ink is pushed through the screens onto the fabric using a squeegee. This part requires skill and precision. The result? Crisp, vibrant prints that pop like fireworks on the Fourth of July.
