Specialty Inks

Specialty Ink Screen Printing

Sometimes screen printing isn’t enough by itself. Specialty inks provide a unique print with effects that truly stand out. Whether it’s the soft, light print of Fashion Soft inks or the heavy, raised print of High Density inks, your screen printed apparel can be customized even further with specialty inks.

At Stylus Apparel we are known for our specialty printing and embroidery techniques. Our screen printing division team are leaders in printing special effects. We attend seminars and conferences to see new technologies and inks available. Stylus Apparel also experiments with combining specialty inks to take the printed garment one level further in uniqueness.
