FAQ
GENERAL Q'S
Q: What's screen printing?
A: Screen printing is a stencil method of printing. All of our posters and tees are designed to be printed one layer (colour) at a time by pulling ink (by hand!) through a mesh stencil onto paper or cloth. Each colour needs to dry completely before the next is laid on top. Because all of our posters and tees are hand printed and we mix our ink by eye, each item is completely unique and handmade.ย
Q:ย Are your poster designs available in custom sizes?
A: Unfortunately because they are produced by hand, we are unable to offer custom sizes. Please note the size of each poster in the product description.ย
Q: Who designs all the posters and tees and stuff?
A: All of our in-house products are designed by Jackie Lee at our Toronto shop!ย
Q: Can I screen print my own artwork at home? What equipment do I need?
A: Yes! It's quite a long list of things, but it's totally doable and highly encouraged! I've made a handy little list here.ย

Q: Secret Planet Print Shop? What's that? Can you print out my resume? Can you print a photo of my mom?

A: Yes yes yes!ย
Q: Do you offer framing at your shop?
