We will listen to you and you can trust us! We have over 60 years of screenprinting experience between us to see that you get the best possible results, and when we say it will be ready, no kidding, it will be!

Yes, we can - but there is a price! All jobs require a set up fee for Film and Screens,e.g. One colour Film + Screen = $50 there is also a minimum print fee of $45.00. So a one colour one-off T could cost $95.00 excluding the shirt... all plus GST.

Yes, we do lots of work on client supplied garments.

The straight answer is there is no minimum, see above "Do you print one-offs?"

We use the Pantone Matching System (PMS) to match colours you want. See Technical FAQ's. You can also supply your own swatch that we will endeavour to match to.

a Spot Colour is any (solid) color generated by an ink (pure or mixed) that is printed using a single run. All Line Art is printed using Spot Colours. Each Spot colour on a screen printed T has to have it's own Film Positive and Screen. We can screenprint up to 8 individual spot colours.

Halftones and CMYK Prints are made up of tiny dots as opposed to Line Art (Spot Colours) which is a solid colour.
Halftones are used to produce "fine" shading and blends on your Tees and are usually just one colour. They can also be used to great effect in reproducing Black & White photos on garments.
CMYK on the other hand is for producing full colour images (photos etc) on garments. The full colour effect is achieved by combining the C=Cyan(Blue) M=Magenta(Red) Y=Yellow K=Black dots. It is the way mgazines and newspapers reproduce photos (check it out with a magnifying glass!).
It can all get a bit technical, requires special software rips, screens and film settings which if not set up right can give a mediocre print. CMYK is also time consuming to set up on the printing machinery, very tight registration and balancing of the inks are important and there are no short cuts. A White base on Dark Tees is also needed as the ink are transparent, the base becomes invisible once printed. This method is recommended for larger runs.
Both methods have their uses, and at ESP we have a lot of experience in achieving spectacular results. Our award from Pride in Print was for reproducing a drawing by Simon Morse in full colour using CMYK. (see this!)

We work to get the job to you whenever you specify, having said that our current turn around time is 3 - 5 working days from receiving the art, acceptance of quote with the deposit. If you are supplying the garments then obviously they need to be in our hands before starting!
