Performance T-Shirt from Gildan

I really like the longsleeve perfomance T-Shirt #42400 from Gildan. These moisture wicking garments are great for running and sports.

We print on the performance fabric through a fine mesh, adding a catalyst to the ink to properly adhere it to the specialty fabric. It comes in a range of colors including the insanely bright "safety green".
We can print one color on these from 9.95 on orders of 24 pieces or more. The unit price goes down as the quantity goes up. We can print up to six colors, drop me an email or call for more info.

My Latest T-Shirt Design

What Can We do for You?

We can print your T-Shirts and Sportswear. Our focus is on top quality and service. We want to deliver the best possible printed shirts to you that exactly fulfill your needs. We put the goods you need in your hands, when you need them.For example, when Margaret Cho (a comedian) was on tour, she wanted 2 - 400 T-Shirts to magically appear at each venue the day of her show. We made that happen.

We'll match you up with the style and color of shirt that fits the bill. There is a dizzying array of T-Shirts and Sportswear to choose from. Before we print the job, we'll show you a proof to be sure you are satisfied with the quality of the work.

We can print up to 500 one color T-Shirts per day, 250 mulit-color shirts (2 - 4 color) or 150 full color shirts (5 - 6 color.)

How Do We do it?

We are expert garment printers. We print on a Workhorse 6-color manual press. We can print up to six colors in perfect registration. We offer a complete in-house art service at realistic rates.

Your Portland Oregon T-Shirt Printers

Manx Media is a Custom T-Shirt company with production in Portland, Oregon. Essentially it's a two man operation. David Perkin operates the press, burns screens and maintains the shop in the St. Johns neighborhood of North Portland, while I handle sales, business, art and graphics from my laptop in Oaxaca, Mexico.

We have been printing shirt jobs together in Portland since 2005, but both of us have been in the business for a long time. I set up my first T-Shirt shop in Eugene in 1981, before running a shop for many years in Oakland, CA. David, a Portland native, has worked in several shops over the years, including my shop in Oakland..

We came together in the wholesale custom screen printing business with a commitment to quality and service. We print with a Workhorse six color, six station manual press, with spot curing capability allowing us to produce multicolor prints on dark shirts. We are T-Shirt geeks, willing to go the extra mile to get it just right.

Current clients include Cosmic Monkey Comics in Portland, Haight Ashbury T-Shirts in San Francisco, and Sarah's Science in Castro Valley California. In the past we have printed for dozens of mom and pop operations, as well as entertainers like comedian Margaret Cho and cult band The Residents.

Manx Media also works with some great ink slingers in the San Francisco Bay Area, with Mats Stromberg and Mike Perkin (David's brother) handling overflow production.

Manx would like to be your custom T-Shirt printer. We're ready to set you up with exactly what you need, and guarantee the highest quality work. Show us your graphic and tell us what type of shirt you'd like to print on, and we'll come up with a price for your T-Shirt project.

Thanks for considering Manx!

Bella Women's T Shirts: The Antidote to American Apparel

Manx Media Custom Screen Printing offers the full line of Bella women's style T-shirts. These great looking T's come in a wide range of flattering styles and take a print beautifully.
We recommend Bella as an alternative to American Apparel. Both companies make an outstanding women's T, but American Apparel uses questionable imagery in it's marketing, utilizing erotic images of young women.
