CUSTOM SCREEN PRINTING IN UNADILLA, NY
Welcome to River Press Screen Printing—Unadilla, New York's home for premium water-based custom screen printing. We're not your average print shop. We're craftspeople who fell in love with the art of screen printing and decided to do it right. Based in nearby Bainbridge, we deliver hand-crafted custom shirts, sweatshirts, caps, and branded gear that look and feel like the retail-quality products you've always wanted.
If you've been searching for a custom tee shop near Unadilla that actually cares about the finished product, you've found it. We specialize in water-based screen printing—a technique that creates soft, breathable prints that become part of the fabric rather than sitting on top of it. The result? Custom t-shirts and promotional apparel that people actually want to wear.

THE WATER-BASED DIFFERENCE
Most screen printing shops use plastisol inks—they're easier to work with and more forgiving. But easier doesn't mean better. Plastisol sits on top of the fabric like a rubbery layer, cracking and peeling over time. It's fine for throwaway promotional items, but it's not the quality that Unadilla craftspeople and businesses deserve.
Water-based screen printing is different. The ink absorbs into the fabric fibers, creating prints that are incredibly soft to the touch. There's no heavy, plastic feel—just smooth, breathable custom clothing that drapes naturally and gets softer with every wash. It's the same technique used by premium retail brands, and now it's available right here in Unadilla, NY.
WHY WE CHOSE THE HARDER PATH
We started River Press because we were tired of being disappointed by low-quality printed tees. We kept ordering from online sellers and receiving products we weren't proud to show anyone. The prints felt cheap. They didn't match our expectations for something we'd actually want to wear or sell.
So we learned water-based screen printing ourselves. After six years of mastering this delicate, unforgiving craft, we're proud to offer Unadilla, NY and the surrounding region something different: custom screen printed apparel that meets the standards of people who care about quality.
