Premium Screen Printing

DeCom offers a wide range of printing methods—Spot Color, 4-Color Process (CMYK) for photo realism, Simulated Process for extended color depth, and Specialty Printing that blends multiple techniques for standout effects.

We use the highest-grade textile inks featuring inks by Wilflex, and we match your brand colors using the Pantone® Matching System (PMS) for consistency across every run.

Spot Color Printing

A spot color is a specially mixed ink printed as a solid color. It’s ideal for logos, bold graphics, and brand-critical hues— including metallic and fluorescent options. Unlike CMYK, spot colors are pre-mixed, and each color is printed with its own screen.

In the U.S., the dominant spot color system is Pantone® (PMS), a library of 1,000+ inks to ensure consistency across materials and reorders.

  • Crisp edges, solid fills, accurate brand colors
  • Best for 1–6 color designs, logos, type
  • Supports metallics & fluorescents

4-Color Process (CMYK)

For full-color photographic images, we print CMYK—cyan, magenta, yellow, and black—in fine halftone dot patterns. These layers visually blend to reproduce a wide spectrum of colors and smooth gradients.

  • Photo realism and detailed gradients
  • Ideal for complex artwork and photos
  • Artwork tip: Convert images to CMYK before submission so each channel can be separated to its screen.

Simulated Process

Simulated Process extends CMYK by adding strategically separated spot color channels. The result is richer shadows, brighter highlights, and access to specialty hues (e.g., fluorescents, metallic flakes) that standard CMYK can’t reproduce alone.

  • Expanded gamut for punchier prints
  • Excellent on dark garments
  • Combines Spot Color precision with CMYK realism

Specialty Printing

We embrace advanced techniques to create tactile and visual impact. Specialty Printing blends methods and materials for unique finishes that make your apparel unforgettable.

  • Foils, glow-in-the-dark, glitter & shimmer
  • Metallic & fluorescent inks
  • Layered effects and mixed techniques

Color Management & Inks

DeCom uses the highest grade of textile inks, featuring inks by Wilflex, for durability, vibrancy, and wash-fastness. To simplify color selection and ensure brand consistency, we match to the Pantone® Matching System (PMS).

  • Accurate Pantone matching for brand colors
  • Soft-hand and performance-appropriate ink systems
  • Options for cotton, blends, and performance fabrics

Artwork & File Preparation

  • Spot Color: Provide vector artwork (AI, PDF, EPS, or SVG). Outline fonts and specify Pantone numbers.
  • CMYK / 4-Color Process: Supply raster images at 300 DPI at print size, converted to CMYK.
  • Simulated Process: High-resolution artwork preferred; we’ll handle the hybrid separations.
  • ✔ Include placement notes, desired sizes, and garment colors to speed approvals.
