QUALITY SCREEN PRINTING
Anchors Aweigh offers quality hand pulled, eco-friendly screen printing at affordable prices. Delivery can be arranged nationwide.
We print with premium Australian made water-based inks that makes the print breathable and also eco-friendly, great for your body and the planet. Many screen printers use plastisol inks which are liquid plastic and will make you sweat, so always ask your printer what type of ink they use.
Choose apparel from AS Colour, Gildan, American Apparel, Comfort Colours, Alstyle or supply your own. We can also print posters up to A2 size, tea-towels, hoodies and natural fibre garments.

ARTWORK
Artwork sent for printing should be a min 300dpi or vector and cropped to the correct printing size.
Best formats are .pdf, .eps, .ai, .psd, .tiff or high res .jpeg.
All multi-colour work needs to be separated into layers or supplied as individual files. 1 layer/file per screen. Supply files as CMYK with all printable areas coloured – C-100, M-100, Y-100, K-100.
A full colour proof is also required so we know what colours you want 🙂
Fonts need to be outlined. It is also best to expand any vector line work, especially if custom brushes have been used.
^^^ WTF?
Not sure what any of that means, or you want some custom artwork/logo designed. No worries. We have killer graphic design and artwork prep skills. Cost is $30 / 30mins.
PREMIUM ECO FRIENDLY – WATERBASED INKS
Anchors Aweigh Screen Printing offers a range of eco friendly, water-based printing options for tees, textiles and paper items. Water-based inks are not only much better for the environment they also are soft to the touch. Many printers stay clear of waterbased inks as they are more time consuming to print and heatset/cure… but the benefits far outweigh the negatives for us. We ensure all prints are cured to perfection and the oceans stay free of plastisol ink residue and the chemicals involved in cleaning plastisol ink.
We use Permaset Aqua inks for all textile printing and Speedball and Permaprint for all paper printing.
Permaset/Permaprint is made in Australia and Speedball is made in USA.
APPAREL
We can custom order a range of apparel items that will suit your budget and style. Anchors Aweigh has a variety of wholesale accounts with apparel manufactures so you are sure to get the best prices on offer.
Our quality tee range is AS Colour. The shirts come in a range of styles and colours and are super comfy.
For a budget option Gildan Soft Style or Heavy Cotton are great shirts for the price. There are loads of colour and size choices available. If you have a band or promo shirt from an event… chances are it is Gildan.
If you want to supply your own garments please note that due to our water-based set-up we can only print on majority natural fibres like cotton and linen. The minimum weight for the item should be no lower than 150gsm.
