Get to Know DR: Screen Printing

The screen printing department at Direct Results is ready to create some awesome apparel for your business or event! Custom t-shirts can provide your company with more than just excellent visibility and free advertising. 

Providing apparel to your employees is a great way to impart a sense of pride in their organization and create a unified team.  We can’t think of a better demonstration for your employees than showing them that their company cares about them and is confident in their abilities to act as representatives of the organization. 

The branded apparel that your employees wear, or even apparel that you give away, are walking promotional tools that get people talking about your business.  Starting conversation about your business is a great, cost-effective marketing tool. Additionally, if  you sell your apparel to customers and clients, it generates revenue for your organization!

Screen printing & Embroidery Departments Manager, Carly Richter, is always excited to make your custom design absolutely striking!  She works closely with our graphic designers to make sure your apparel design is free from imperfections as she and her team work diligently to produce exceptional results! 

“The best part of the job is getting to work on something different every day,” Carly says. “I love it when we get a design that pushes us past our comfort zone. Learning new printing processes is a great experience that produces stunning designs for our clients’ apparel.”

Carly spends her day preparing and completing new jobs for screen printing. She burns the design stencil onto a screen, tapes it thoroughly to prevent ink overflow, and sets each job on one of our screen printing machines. Complex print jobs are set up on Direct Results’ newest screen printing machine. This new machine has improved the department’s capabilities and screen printing up to 9 colors can be completed in-house. 

Each job includes a test print and Carly also double-checks the colors to ensure a color match. Once the test run is approved, jobs are completed quickly and efficiently, cured, and prepared for pickup or delivery. While the jobs are printing, Carly checks them periodically to ensure the product is still top quality. 

Carly, originally from Rochester, NY, moved into the area approximately seven years ago.  She currently lives in Bobtown with her two children.  She’s been with Direct Results for six years and has extensive experience with embroidery and screen printing. 

No matter what your business, Direct Results is in the business of making YOU LOOK GOOD!  Give us a call today at 724-627-2040.
