Anthem Screen Printing - Art Supplies Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

Really disappointed with the customer service at Anthem. They sent me a screen that split all the way down the side the very first time I pulled a print, and I was using a brand new squeegee that I bought from them. I had taken the utmost care when unpacking the screen, used my hands and no implements whatsoever. The first pull and the screen was shot. I reported this to customer service to seek assistance, and was basically told that I'm on my own and they have no responsibility to stand behind their product, because they buy them from some other supplier. Nice. That will be my very last purchase from Anthem. Ciao. read more

Provide your image, they will burn a screen for you, $50. Bring your own screen, $25. They have all the supplies you need to print yourself. Ink, pallet tape, screens, scoopers & all that. I brought my own screen, they had it ready for pick up in 24hrs. I also bought pallet tape, screen tape, scooper, plastisol cleaner, and pallet glue spray. I spent about $150. I went home ready to print hoodies!! They have everything you need to do the job yourself. They also will do the job for you. I recommend. I will return. read more

This is my all time favorite business. They are always fast and reliable. I've used them for screen burning for several years and the have never let me down. Easy 5 stars. read more

I was having trouble making my own screens for the past month. I decided to get my screen professionally made as a test. And it came out really good. Even when I used it on the shirt! My results were promising. Sadly, I paid $100 for that Screen.. But Id rather spend $100 than $500 on my mistakes(no I didnt spend $500) ALSO, they over charged me for shipping and I was unaware. They sent me an email within 24 hours of my order placement and told me the dealio!! And refunded me the over charge. www.mekokemeko.com read more

See all

If you are a beginner such as I, it is a good place to buy basic materials. Their screens are much cheaper than Midwest. The 2 guys who work here are very nice and willing to help someone who is printing as a hobby, such as myself. read more

I recently went here to have my wedding invitation printed and could not have been happier with the result. The owner Dave Phillips was extremely friendly and helpful, and went the extra mile to make sure the job was done correctly and with care. If you are looking for a screenprinter minus the pretentiousness and attitude that most bay area screen printers have, Dave is the man for your job. read more

I needed some t shirts for my business and went in to get an estimate. Dave gave me a super fast quote with 3 options for pricing depending on colors needed and I was out the door within 10 minutes. T shirts came out spot on and I could not be happier. They also have a large supply of screens, inks, and posters that are super cool. Thanks for the awesome customer service and t shirts. I will buy more from Anthem in the future. Kudos for being GIANTS fans!! read more

No. 1: Only screenprint shop in the city. No. 2: Prices are def. affordable. No. 3: The guys are super cool. What else do you need? That's what I thought. 5* read more

These guys are great! I went in to buy some supplies for making some shirts on my own and they were very helpful in getting me started from scratch. The supplies are super affordable and I think they are just about the only place around that sells everything you need to print AND will coat and expose your recently purchased screen on the spot from digital files or transparency film. My shirts turned out great thanks to their guidance... though practice does make perfect. read more

Seriously awesome shop. They have a great space and do really high quality manual printing. Get it while the getting's good, because these guys are going to be blowing up soon! Solid selection of supplies and materials. Great, affordable printing. They have some really cool artwork up on the walls for sale, so even if you don't need posters, tee shirts, or supplies, you should pop in to check it out. read more

These guys are awesome!!! I called Anthem when I needed a batch of t-shirts printed up for our local sports team. David and Carol were so easy to work with. Not only did they help me with my design, but they got them printed on time and for a great price! We have been using the t-shirts for a few months now and I'm pleased to report that the quality of the shirts are excellent. Thanks so much again guys. read more

Found these guys by chance while looking for infant-sized platens for my hobby press. Dropped by their shop (which is well stocked), and they had a great selection of screens and pallets. I also picked up some ink to use on posters. Highly recommended. read more

I'm teaching myself to screen print, which makes me feel like I've got a target on my back every time I go into a supply store. You know, "ALERT ALERT LADY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING, TAKE ALL HER MONEY." I've had some narrow scrapes! But walking into Anthem was a whole other deal: Carol was no BS, had great advice on what I needed to get started, and was not salesy/scammy in any way. Then, when I needed them to burn some screens, David was great about sending mock-ups over to my novice as*, and I got the final product a day later. Anthem was recommended to me by a friend, and now I'm paying it forward: these are the folks to use. read more

Top notch in customer service and lead time. I submitted artwork for film earlier today and not only got all of my questions answered (this is my first time I have used this service), they completed them today and are ready for pick up already. I will definitely be back for future printing needs. read more

David is a SUPER helpful and friendly guy. Seriously, he's answered all of my repetitive questions (hey, I just barely started screen printing!) about emulsion without becoming irritated. His store has everything you could need to start printing your own shirts or posters--from the basics (screens, ink, degreaser, etc.) to kits...and are those art books I spot on the wall shelf? +1 for Shepard Fairey's SUPPLY & DEMAND. Did I mention he's got a great eye for design? Truth. His own artwork is worth checking out as well (see: A Clockwork Orange, Rocky Horror and Life Aquatic posters on wall). Whether you're trying to make shirts or trying to get shirts made... Anthem is your go-to source. I highly recommend them. :) read more

I can't say enough about how great Anthem is! They've done nothing but educate me on the art of screen printing. I literally knew nothing (Or maybe less then nothing as people from Blick's had misdirected me) when I walked in the door and now my partners and I have started a clothing company specializing in t-shirts. We couldn't have done any of this without Anthem. Anthem understands that loyalty isn't bred from being the screen printing version of Wal-mart. Every time I walk into that place I get honest opinions on products and tips at being a better printer. Thanks for everything, David! read more

Really disappointed in the outcome of customer service. Initially, my experience with Anthem started off great. I was under the impression that Edmond and I were in alignment with communication for my $650 order of pre-burned screens and other printing supplies. This was my first experience with screen printing and ordering screens, and was very clear that I needed assistance in choosing the correct mesh count. After several emails exchanged over a 2 week period, Edmond and I decided that a 160 mesh count was suitable for my needs. Upon placing my order through the website, the only mesh count available for selection was 200 or 230, which I selected and then included an additional note that I in fact needed a 160 mesh count and asked for someone to contact me to ensure we had everything correct. Phones were not being answered due to Covid which I completely understood. I never received a follow up phone call, but was hopeful that the detailed communication with Edmond would be passed along to whomever was filling the order. Fast forward about 4 weeks, having had issues with printing I had to hire a consultant to come out and help assess the problems I was running into. I was informed that the screens I had ordered from Anthem were in fact 200 and 230 mesh, and not the 160 mesh I was supposed to be receiving. Understanding this could have been a miscommunication and an oversight, I reached out to Edmond to see if we could rectify the situation and maybe meet somewhere in the middle... possibly offer a percentage of refund or screen replacement, seeing that there was such detailed communication on the front end, and no follow up from Edmond - who fulfilled the order himself and admitted to seeing the 200 mesh and (in quote) "my assumption was that the specifics of your project had changed." In my experience working in customer service, if you have been in communication with a customer about specifics on a large order, and you notice something wildly different than what you had initially discussed with the customer when they place their order, is it not basic knowledge to call and double check with the customer to verify if the new information was correct? ESPECIALLY if there was an additional note on the order asking to be contacted? The only thing that Edmond offered was to "troubleshoot printing issues" and this was basically my fault. To reiterate, the only drop down selections on the website when placing a pre-burned screen order were 200 and 230 mesh count, so I selected one, and added an additional note that this mesh count was not correct, and requested to be contacted. And this was still my fault and I now have to eat a $650 price tag? A dear friend with a very successful screen printing company who has used Anthem for years referred me to them, and I was burned pretty badly. I wasn't expecting a full refund, but rather to be met in the middle with some resolve of the situation. It saddens me to say that I will not be a return customer and neither will my friend; I was hopeful this would be a great professional relationship, but I was very wrong. read more

I began using the services of Anthem Screen Printing when my longtime screen printer in San Leandro went under. What a tremendous break for me! I've now had them do dozens of screens for me and Carole and David were friendly from the get-go, accommodating, fair, and make an exceptional product. Run, don't walk to Anthem if you need anything to do with screen printing. read more

This review is for product sales and not Anthem's printing services. I have no experience with their printing service. I want to like these guys but they're a bit unprofessional. I had them order a screen for me and then they sold it to the next person that walked in that asked for that size, although I had repeatedly stopped in to see if it had arrived as I needed it for a project I was in the middle of. I tried ordering another screen via the website but this time they were changing vendors and it took a month to get the screen. So, if it's not in stock, don't bother, order it from somewhere online. I recently stopped in for emulsion, which they were out of and said that due to it's temperature sensitivity and it being shipped from the midwest during winter months, they were having a hard time getting it and decided to go with another brand that was from southern Cal but didn't have it in yet. So I gave them my contact info and ask the guy to call me as soon as it came in but what do you think happened? No call. For supplies, this place is fine if you are in a pinch but if they are out of stock, don't bother ordering with them. I think it just cuts into their PBR drinking time and can't be bothered to call you back. Just order it online from someone else. read more

Just picked up my shirts yesterday, 5 days ahead of the scheduled date and couldn't be happier. So glad there's a screen printing walk-in studio like this in my city. David was friendly and complimented my design, also I am a web designer and their site aesthetic really says professional and contemporary. Rock on Anthem. read more

I came is for some shirts on short notice, and they couldn't turn it around in time. They could not have been nicer, and quickly offer up two referrals and said to call them back if I needed another name. Their good karma will serve them well. read more

I love these guys! They have the quickest turn around time for screen burning (about 2 business days after your order is placed) and the friendliest staff. Their service makes screen printing so easy. I definitely will be buying more for future projects. read more

David is an awesome dude that is guaranteed to do what it takes to get you the product you want. He obviously has an immense amount of passion towards his business, quality of work, customer loyalty, and just the art of screen printing and design. 100% choose him for your printing needs, you won't be disappointed! read more

Been getting my screens burned through them for about two years now and every single time they do a great job! Ended up moving from the bay and I still use them for my screen printing needs. Excellent service and quality! read more

Super place, great service, good prices,fast, very helpful with the design of my T-shirts. Thanks Ann

They are so helpful and very kind. I'm all about great customer service and I love how easy they were to talk with and work with. My screenprints came out nice and clear. They did a great job at making sure my screen was done by the next day or two. They will be getting my business. read more

Called David at 5pm saturday. We'd just got let down by another printing company. David/Dave and their team turned around a stack of shirts, front & back, next day. Awesome guys, awesome business. read more

These guys burned screens for me multiple times, always when expected and great quality. Support!

I love this place! Always super fast when I need some screens burned. I need some supplies last minute and they took their time to make sure I had everything I needed. The quality and service at anthem are outstanding read more

Anthem was extremely helpful and professional. I brought them a design and they were able to clean it up to make it perfect. My order was ready on time even after I needed several design changes made. I can't emphasize enough how impressed I was with the quality of work and professionalism I experienced while working with them. read more

I was panicking for a few months when my local guy told me that he couldn't do my waterproof film outputs anymore. I called a handful of local screen printing shops and none of them offered that service. I got to the point that I began to pull my hair (not literally but close). THANK GOD I was able to find a company that provides all kinds of services. This will definitely be my "go to" spot from now on. THANK YOU ANTHEM SCREEN PRINTING. one last thing I forgot to mention... I sent my order on Sunday.. Monday was a holiday and today (Wednesday) my order came in. They definitely don't f**k around. They mean business!!! read more

I've ordered a few sets of pre-burned screens. Perfect every time! Great customer service if you have any issues!
