Good Thoughts Printing

At Good Thoughts Printing, we pride ourselves on being a sustainable screen printing company that produces high-quality prints while minimizing our footprint on the environment. Our journey began in 2004, when we started out as a small rock and roll poster printer in a garage. Over the years, we have grown to work with numerous clients, including music legends such as The Dead, Gov't Mule, Widespread Panic, and many more.

Our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of our operations. We take extra care to reduce our ecological impact through eco-friendly inks, biodegradable components, and environmentally responsible paper products. We believe that our passion for printing can be combined with a passion for the planet, and we strive to be a positive force in our community and the environment.

Our Services

Good Thoughts Printing specializes in two main areas: silkscreen printing and lenticular printing. Silkscreen printing is a traditional technique that involves applying ink to a fabric or paper using a screen. This method allows for vibrant colors and intricate designs. Lentricular printing, on the other hand, is a more recent innovation that uses a lenticular sheet to create the illusion of depth or motion. This technology is perfect for creating eye-catching displays that grab attention.

We offer a range of services, including:

• File Prep: We provide guidance on preparing your digital files for print, ensuring that your artwork looks its best when printed. Our team can also assist with color correction and separation services.

• Separation Services: If you require custom color separation, we can help you achieve exactly what you need. Our team will work closely with you to ensure that your colors are accurately separated and printed to perfection.
