One-Color Halftone Prints:

A Simple Way to Increase Perceived Value

A Simple Way to Make Basic Prints More Profitable

One-color screen prints with halftones elevate the look of a design without increasing production costs. By incorporating halftones, prints gain depth and texture, giving them a higher perceived value while remaining more affordable than multi-color designs.

Why One-Color Halftones Make Sense

One-color prints are significantly cheaper to produce than multi-color designs, yet they often achieve a cleaner, more refined look. Even better, they are an ideal option for smaller runs, as they cost less than digital printing while still delivering professional-quality results.

🔵 More Visual Impact Without Extra Cost – Halftones add depth and style while keeping production costs low.
🔵 Better Than Basic Prints – Transforms simple designs into more dynamic, eye-catching graphics.
🔵 Ideal for Budget-Conscious Customers – Perfect for giveaways and promotions where cost matters.

Upgrade Basic Giveaway Shirts Without Added Cost

Cost-sensitive customers no longer have to settle for plain, uninspired prints. With halftones, even budget-friendly giveaway shirts can have richer detail and a more premium feel—without increasing the price.

Instead of a flat, basic imprint, halftones bring designs to life, ensuring even the most budget-conscious buyers get a print that looks like it cost more.

The Twist: A Premium Look Without Premium Pricing

Your customers want higher-end decoration, but they don’t always have the budget for multi-color prints. Halftones give them the best of both worlds—premium design, minimal cost.

All the images in the gallery were created using just one ink color, keeping production simple and costs low. The only exception is the black Cleveland print, which was printed using the discharge method for an ultra-soft feel (available for an additional $1.00 per print).
