Look. I get it. You’re feeling crafty. You’ve seen some TikTok dude in his garage doing Custom Screen Printing with a $20 Amazon kit, and now you’re thinking:

“Hey… maybe I’ll just do my own T-Shirt Printing for this family reunion. Save a few bucks. Look cool.”

But hold up for a second.

Before you dump half your paycheck into plastisol inks and ruin your wife’s blow dryer trying to cure these shirts (yeah, that’s a real thing people try), let’s talk about why trusting the pros at Geezy Tees in St. George is the better move.

The Harsh Reality of DIY Screen Printing

First, here’s how T-Shirt Printing at home usually goes:

  1. You buy a starter kit because “it’s cheaper than hiring Local Printing Services.”
  2. Then you realize you need emulsion, exposure units, squeegees, screens, plastisol or water-based inks, a curing setup, and a whole lot of patience.
  3. Next, you mess up your first 3-5 shirts because your screen wasn’t burned properly or your ink bled out like a crime scene.
  4. Finally, you call Geezy Tees in St. George anyway.

Why does this happen? Because Custom Apparel Printing, Fast Screen Printing, and Bulk T-Shirt Printing are skills built over thousands of shirts and years of mistakes – mistakes you don’t want to make yourself.

The Geezy Tees Difference

Instead of spending your Saturday covered in ink, here’s what happens when you use Geezy Tees:

Fast Screen Printing – no two-week fiascos waiting for your cousin’s Cricut printer to finally spit out vinyl letters.
Event T-Shirt Printing done right, so your volleyball team looks professional instead of Dollar Store DIY.
Quick Turnaround Printing, because last-minute ideas shouldn’t look last-minute.
Custom Uniforms and Corporate Apparel Printing for your business, so your brand doesn’t scream “home project.”
Embroidery Services for that high-end, stitched finish on polos, hats, and jackets.
Promotional Products Printing for mugs, bags, and swag that actually lasts beyond one trade show.
Local Printing Services right here in St. George, supporting local while getting pro-level results.

But What About The Costs?

Now, here’s the kicker:

By the time you buy the right mesh screens, emulsions, inks, chemicals, and curing setups (and trust me, a blow dryer ain’t gonna cut it), you’ve spent way more than you would on Custom Screen Printing with Geezy Tees.

Plus, you have no guarantee your shirts will come out looking like anything you’d actually want to wear in public.

If you want Custom T-Shirts with perfect registration, no pinholes, clean edges, and professional curing that lasts 100+ washes, that’s not something you wing on your kitchen counter.

Bulk T-Shirt Screen Printing Without Bulk Headaches

Additionally, need 12 shirts for your CrossFit team? 200 shirts for your roofing company? 1,000 shirts for a youth conference?

Geezy Tees scales up with Bulk T-Shirt Printing systems that don’t lose quality, no matter the quantity. That’s why Custom Hoodie Printing, Custom Clothing Printing, and Corporate Apparel Printing are a breeze with their team.

Why Trust The Pros At Geezy Tees?

Because at the end of the day, Custom Screen Printing is an art form. It’s chemistry, physics, and craft rolled into one.

The team at Geezy Tees has spent years perfecting T-Shirt Printing, Fast Screen Printing, Event T-Shirt Printing, Quick Turnaround Printing, and Embroidery Services to keep your brand looking sharp.
