Having been in the business since 1985, The Artik seems to have mastered the services they offer – screen printing among others. Let’s talk about why we think this company is a strong choice for customers. 

For their screen printing service, customers can often expect orders within 5 to 7 business days, which is pretty standard. This is because they have a dedicated team that streamlines the screen printing process.

Speaking of the said process, the shop uses the best machines and at the same time, has an expert custom screen printing team. Through these, clients can expect to get their desired screen-printed apparel at reasonable prices.

At the store, they also do most of their work in-house to lower costs and to help their customers save money. Additionally, they recommend buying the t-shirt that fits their budget, all without compromising their garment of choice.

In addition to the quality of service they offer, the company assures their customers of feeling at home with them through their friendly sales representatives. Their dedicated sales rep always provided great assistance that met our standards.

Lastly, the shop also ships orders to your door if you don’t have the time to pick it up. Unfortunately, we’ve heard minor complications with some of the orders, but they’re most certainly willing to make it right without additional charges.

Customer Reviews

Excellent customer service

We’ve been using them for years for our team hockey jerseys. They were amazing helping us design our logo and we are still able to re-order the same jerseys years later. Excellent customer service and sales team. Emails are answered right away. Highly recommend! – Jonathan Rego

Speedy production

We had a large order for our uniforms and Kristin and Evan worked with patiently until we found the perfect fabric and design! We asked for a lot of revisions but once our design was confirmed the production was extremely speedy. The quality of the uniforms and the print is also fantastic! We will be doing our future printing with Artik and definitely recommend them to anyone looking for custom designed things! – Pedram Ghafoori

Big enough to fulfill all your screen printing and promotional needs, while also small enough to provide you the highest level of personal attention. That is what Hardboiled Inc. is known for in downtown Toronto.

Their screen printing service is their most popular imprint method when customizing apparel. With the help of the company’s in-house automated screen printing facilities, they are equipped enough to produce orders from 12 to 12,000 pieces and even more.

That being said, the shop is certainly open for large amounts of orders under their screen printing. Not only that, but customers can also choose from the number of different options available design and color-wise.

For their turnaround time, we like that most of their services are completed within the period of two weeks. This gives them enough time to properly source their customers’ orders as well as to allow for their production to go smoothly.

Another thing we love about the store is that they can provide a rush service for screen printing regardless of the complexity of the details of each order. However, customers could expect extra fees for this is a demanding job for them.

Finally, for their rates, the shop gives off competitive pricing that is definitely reasonable. At the rates they offer, we think customers can naturally expect top-quality results and long-lasting prints.

Customer Reviews

Flawless printing

Hardboiled is hands down the best experience I have had as a business owner. They manage my Moms at Work gear from printing to pick up and it has been flawless. If you are looking for merch for your business, employer gifts – whatever – they are who I will always send you to! – Allison Venditti

Great quality

I recently made a custom order for my business ordering some hoodies and t shirts. The hoodies were embroidered while the shirts were screen printed. I found the quality was great and the process was very easy. I received a very well done mock up which allowed me to visualize the order and make some last minute adjustments. Overall I was really happy and I would recommend to anyone looking to make some custom orders. P.s the champion hoodies were really great quality and fit for anyone wondering. – Arthur Berlin

Although their storefront is mainly composed of handmade goods, The Kid Icarus has a Print Department which offers various services like screen printing. They provide services in an open environment where customers can watch the process unfold before their eyes.

Unlike the other shops we reviewed, The Kid Icarus is best known for custom screen printing on paper. They can print on almost anything flat, from tissue paper to cardboard and wood, which is great for various artistic uses.

If you are into art prints or want custom poster production, you can certainly buy from them. The shop can also be able to screen print small things like business cards, merchandise tags, and as well as larger items.

All things mentioned above are done with the use of their fully equipped screen printing studio, just beyond their storefront. There, shoppers can watch the action as they peruse the other in-house products – a pretty cool experience.

One great thing about the shop is how they always push to the edge just to bring out a little more than the average print shop would. Many previous customers attest to this when we had the time to survey and get to know them more.

Clients informed us of the consultation the shop did just to find ways to screen print their orders to their desired output (at a reasonable price). In addition to that, they are also willing to teach screen printing through their scheduled workshop where students can be on-hand on learning it. 

Customer Reviews

Top quality screens

We have a small t-shirt business and needed screens burned. Kid Icarus produced top quality screens at most reasonable prices. Our images are taken from 18th-Century headstones and we were blown away by the detail we can achieve with the screens they made us. We will definitely be coming to them when we expand our line, Laura at Old Stone Face. – Laura Shepherd

Highly recommended

I just took the Screen Printing 101 Workshop and I’m so glad I did. Mike is a fantastic teacher. After the 4-hour hands-on class, I feel ready to construct my own screen printing set up and start practicing on my own, which is just what I was hoping for. Also, their cards and other products are beautiful and unique. I highly recommend Kid Icarus. – Julie Philips

If the question is the best source for custom prints, many in Toronto will respond with the name of R&P Prints. They are trusted by the locals for how they handle every screen-printing assignment with the same attention to detail. 

The first thing that you need to know about them is their huge variety and an assortment of products to print on. All they need to know from their clients is their screen printing needs and they can get the production going.

For their equipment, they use both manual and automatic ones for their screen printing services for varying purposes. That being said, clients can expect a much higher production rate for the use of an automatic than that of a manual press. 

Another thing we love about them is their “hands-on” style approach to customer service. Extended business hours are offered, which helps when deadlines are demanding (plus their “live-chat” system allows for one-on-one interaction with customers).

In addition to fast turn-around time, the shop also assures every one of the best and most friendly rates. We learned that they have no set-up fees and no delivery charges, making their prices continuously become competitive in the market. 

There’s just a small hiccup, for they don’t cater to small orders (minimum order of 12 shirts). But rest assured that they can deliver the highest quality product to the large size of orders regardless of what kind of project it is.  

Customer Reviews

Great price and quality 

I had a tight deadline for a work order and found R&P online with a little Google Search. They worked really well with my requests, and on such short notice, I couldn’t ask for more. Great price, and quality. The team was really happy with what we received.

P.S. Forgot to mention, it was was a pretty large order, so kudos to the team at R&P 🙂 – Sharon Red

Fantastic final product 

Couldn’t be happier with my custom printing job!! Given my own limited design and technical knowledge, R&P was with me every step of the way and helped guide me through the whole process. the final product looked fantastic! – Lorne Burger

We are confident to say you’ve heard of Paranoid Print Company before. This is because they have already designed and produced custom screen printing products for locals, restaurants, musical artists, and even the film and TV industry. 

With their decades of combined industry experience, they always make sure that their silk screen printing is done meticulously by hand to ensure the highest possible level of quality. This becomes possible through the use of different special screen printing inks. 

Not only that, if needed, the company has an in-house graphic artist that can assist their interested clients with graphic design and custom illustration. All this at a reasonable rate, plus free consultations for apparel design. 

Now, let’s talk about their turnaround time, which we heard was estimated to be 14 days. Although this might be quite inconvenient to some customers, they do have rush service available under certain conditions and at an additional cost. 

The only thing we are concerned about the company is their minor inconsistencies with their product availability. Some previous customers that we talked to who wanted a certain product to screenprint on were dismayed by its unavailability. 

Although this is the case, Paranoid Print Company makes sure that this is most likely to happen during peak seasons. And if so, they are open to offering a comparable substitution, although additional charges may be expected.
