Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I order a screen?
Email your artwork to us, along with details of your request and any other items you would like to add to your order. Once your artwork has been approved, we will send an invoice with a link to make payment. If your artwork isn't ready, we will respond with recommendations to make changes where possible.

How long will it take?
The lead time for exposed screens is currently approximately 2 weeks from when payment is received (via an invoice we will send after artwork is approved).

How much is postage?
£3.45 for standard delivery or £7.50 for tracked express courier. Delivery for A2 screens costs £7.50 as these are too large for the standard post (even for orders above £100).

Which mesh should I choose?
Usually, 43T mesh is best for printing onto fabric and 90T is best for printing onto paper. Please email us to discuss mesh options if you're not sure what you need.

Will I get a screen film?
Screen films are usually sent with your finished screen. Please note that screen films are used and so may have areas cut out, marks or tape. They are intended to help with registration and for your own records only.

Do you ship outside of the UK?
Unfortunately we are unable to post custom screens outside of mainland UK.

Can you help me with my artwork?
We do not provide an artwork service. We have put together a few useful guides to help you though:
