See How Your Custom Zen Threads T-Shirt is Made...

In case you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes, we thought we would share just a small part of the production of a custom t-shirt from our shop here in California. Each tee is custom printed by hand in the shirt color and ink color of your choice.
This one has a home in Florida. Here it goes...













1 .Shirt is set-up on the platen. Nice and straight!
2. Screen is clamped in, adjusted and centered.
3. Even coat of eco-friendly ink is applied to the screen. (Sorry, pictures out of order.)
4. Screen is coated with the squeegee. Firm pressure is applied while pulling the squeegee. Screen is lifted & Viola!
5. Shirt goes under heating unit to cure and dry the ink then your tee is neatly tagged, packed and on it's way to your door!

Special Thanks to Permaset Inks for their awesome Supercover Orange ink used in this print!
