Our Facility
Mildly Wild Graphics
In operation over 15 years!
Home of High Definition Screen Printing!
Chart Shirts are printed in our state of the art facility which
houses the latest, most advanced screen printing equipment. We
utilize automatic screen printing presses, calibrated to the highest
standards, to insure the most accurate and consistent printing
possible. These presses are tweaked with special features, and after
market accessories that give us the superior quality that we, and
our clients demand. Our large capacity shirt dryer is capable of
fully curing the ink to the garment at a very rapid rate. We
constantly measure this process using an advanced thermal imaging
system. We even have equipment to unload the shirt from the printing
press, allowing for a much more efficient operation. If you would
like to see this equipment in operation, please click here to watch
a short video. It’s very cool!
We tension and maintain all of our screens in house, using only
state of the art, retensionable frames, the highest quality mesh,
and pneumatic screen stretching equipment. We measure our screens
constantly to achieve the closest tension tolerances, allowing us to
attain the print quality, and zero tolerance registration that our
Chart Shirt prints demand. You will NEVER see a wood, nor static
aluminum screen frame in this plant!
Our Artwork department uses the latest versions of the most advanced
software programs. We utilize both vector based and raster based
technologies. We are constantly developing new techniques, and
attend many conferences and seminars across the country to further
our knowledge base. We use a high speed computer network, producing
all films, and files in house, to maintain the strictest levels of
control.
Our Customer Service team is well versed and experienced in handling
the various needs of our clients. We are here to help, and make your
Chart Shirt experience as pleasant as possible!
Our Ink Department uses a superior color matching system, allowing
us to create virtually any Pantone color match. We are also very
well versed in the development, and use of all special effect inks.
In conjunction with our ink manufacturer, we developed an ink that
is proprietary to Chart Shirts. This ink allows us to print with
very little ink deposit to keep the feel of the print extremely
soft. So soft in fact, that once the ink is fully cured, and washed,
it is nearly as soft as the cotton t-shirt itself. We even routinely
sharpen our squeegee blades to insure precise control of ink
transfer to the garment.
Our Shipping and Receiving department is also critical to the
operation. Orders are counted, separated, labeled, and prepped for
production. Orders are recounted many times throughout the cycle,
and packed for shipping to the client, ensuring accurate order
counts.
In our mission to be the best, we have developed, and incorporate
over 230, that’s TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY quality control steps in
every print run. That means that we are checking for proper
registration (alignment of colors), color control, ink curing,
defective garments, and more 230 times, for each, and every job! I
know it sounds sadistic, but the end results are well worth it!
Our clients appreciate our attention to detail, and we know that our
continuing effort to improve is the backbone to our success!
