SCREAMIN' INC.- Skateboard Screenprinting in the USA with Pocket Pistols & Hosoi Skates

Screamin' Inc. has been screenprinting skateboards since 1988. We sit down and talk to Chicken about the benefits of a screenprinted board compared to a heat transfered deck. And ask him why Pocket Pistols and Hosoi Skates remain true to this art form especially when most skate companies have abandoned art for the sake of business.

what kind of ink do you use for the skateboards?

[praisethedog]

fucking shit i wish i had budget to start my own brand buy all that stuff

@jesushchris69 yea screw that i wouldnt pay 7k for a screen unless id be making atleast or more of that regularly they make screens that are molded in the shape of a board so i guess printing might actually be a better option i retract my statement lol

@SKEEZIN08: I am a screen printer too.. I'm actually in the process of starting my own independant (out of my garage) skateboard company, and yes it is easier to do the heat transfer, but more cost effective to screen print considering that the inks are less costly than vinyl. The vinyl that you have to get for the printer/plotter is extremely expensive, so i'm thinking that If I have a multi color job...then yea I would like to do the heat transfer.. but that machine is $7000.00

im a screen printer myself but when it comes to boards iron on transfers are so much easier like you said and dont hurt your pokets nearly as much if your doing huge volume....
