Screen Print

Classic screen printing with modern color control

Screen printing uses a mesh screen with open areas in the shape of your artwork. A squeegee pushes ink through the screen onto the product below—ideal for bold, clean prints that hold up over time.

Dubow uses non-phthalate plastisol inks and can match exact PMS colors. Want to add something extra? Choose from a range of specialty inks like neon, metallic, glitter, glow-in-the-dark, shimmer, simulated discharge, and more.

Built for bold coverage

Screen printing delivers clean, solid ink laydown and excellent opacity on light and dark garments.

Specialty ink options

Neon, metallic, glitter, glow, shimmer, discharge, and more to make designs stand out.

Great for large prints

Ideal for big, bold designs on tees, hoodies, and uniforms where coverage matters.
