About Screen Printing



Screen printing is one of the most popular methods to create custom tees. With vibrant colors and full-size prints, we can make your logo shine on any shirt! Screen printing is the perfect choice for large orders, as we are proud to offer discounted prices based on the quantities you need. Our Printed Apparel category has a variety of styles all with a standard 25 piece minimum order.

Q. What are the minimum purchase requirements?

A. 25 pieces per version of your logo. A "version" refers to size, format, ink colors, and logo locations. There is a max of 5 colors that we can print. If your logo contains more than 5 colors, please contact our Customer Experience Team for assistance.


Q. What are the specifications for artwork uploaded for Printing?

A. The artwork you submit to us must meet these requirements:


We can accept the following file types under 5MB: .AI, .PSD, .EPS, .JPG, .JPEG, .PNG, .PDF, .GIF, .BMP, and .SVG. Files larger than 5MB can be emailed to support@queensboro.com.


Q. Can you print a photo on t-shirts?

A. Currently, we are not printing gradients or photographic images. However, there can be exceptions to this rule. If your logo has gradients or you have a photographic image, please contact our Customer Experience Team to see how we can help.


Q. What is the fee for having my embroidery logo converted into a printed Logo?

A. $0! We're proud to say that we do not charge logo setup fees. This is separate from our logo design services, which do require additional charges.


Q. What ink colors are available for my screen printed logo?

A. Any color imaginable. However, all screen print logos are limited to no more than 5 ink colors. If you require a specific color for your logo, we can match Pantone and CMYK color models.


Q. Can my logo be printed in two locations?

A. Yes, you can choose to have your logo printed in two locations such as left chest and full back for an additional $2.25 per shirt. A single print location is included in the shirt cost.


Q. Can you print on dark colored shirts? Do you print white ink?

A. Yes. We are able to print on all color fabrics.


Q. How are white areas of my design printed?

A. For different fabric colors the white elements of your logo will print differently:

  • For Printing on Light Fabric: If your printed apparel style selected is white, we will use the fabric as the white elements in your logo design. For other light fabrics, white will be used as an ink color unless otherwise requested in your logo instructions to our Art Team.
  • For Printing on Dark Fabric: All dark fabrics will have a white ink base included, with the additional 5 ink colors allowed printed on top of that base layer. This ensures that the colors will be vivid and saturated on dark items.


    • Q. Can I have my logo embroidered and printed on the same shirt?

    A. We are unable to embroider and print on the same apparel item. However, you can place an order with embroidered shirts and printed shirts.


    Q. Why can't I order the same items for screen print that I can for embroidery?

    A. Screen printing is a very specific process which requires apparel specially designed for direct to garment printing. While embroidery can be done on a large variety of materials, screen print can only be done on fabrics that are compatible with our ink and printing process. Some of our most popular items for embroidery will not work for screen printing due to the fabric content, texture and ornamentation such as buttons, seams, or zippers. You will find our complete line of items available for screen printing under our Printed Apparel categories.
