A Beginner’s Guide to Ordering Custom Screen Printing
Ordering custom printed shirts doesn’t have to be confusing. Here’s a simple guide to help you get exactly what you need.
1. Know What You’re Printing
T-shirts? Hoodies? Jerseys? Different materials affect the printing process.
2. Choose Your Quantity
Screen printing is ideal for batches of 24–500+.
3. Prepare Your Artwork
Vector files work best (AI, PDF, SVG). But if you only have a sketch, We Bleed Ohio can help clean it up.
4. Pick Your Ink Colors
Fewer colors = cheaper. Bold colors = great visibility.
5. Understand Turnaround Times
Most local printers operate on 1–3 week schedules depending on the season.
6. Work With a Local Cleveland Printer
Supporting a local shop means:
-
Better communication
-
Faster turnaround
-
Higher quality prints
-
Supporting the local economy
At We Bleed Ohio, all printing is done in-house with high-quality inks and materials.
