Why we use plastisol

At Painter Shirts, we specialize in plastisol screen printing, widely recognized as the gold standard for durable, professional-grade custom apparel. This method is trusted by skilled trades, athletic teams, and premium brands alike because it produces sharp, consistent results that can withstand years of wear and countless washes. Plastisol ink doesn’t soak into the fabric the way water-based inks do—it sits on top, creating vivid, opaque colors that remain true over time. This gives us exceptional control over ink placement, color matching, and long-term durability—critical when you’re outfitting a hardworking crew whose gear needs to look as good on day 100 as it did on day one.

Our traditional silk screening process allows us to customize every detail. Each Pantone-matched color is applied one at a time, ensuring your logo is reproduced exactly as intended—no muddy tones, no blurring, no compromise. We fine-tune mesh counts, squeegee pressure, and ink thickness for each order, tailoring the process to your fabric type and the level of softness you want. Thinner ink layers bond beautifully with the material, producing a print that’s not only long-lasting but also soft, breathable, and flexible.

The result is apparel that works as hard as your team does—garments that hold up against paint splatters, sun exposure, and repeated laundering without cracking or fading. Whether it’s a lightweight tee for summer jobs or a heavier hoodie for cold mornings, our screen printing delivers a professional look that’s comfortable enough to wear all day.
