Hard Eight is a screen printing and embroidery shop in Sacramento, CA.
We’ve always enjoyed working with complicated designs — the ones many shops won’t mess with.
Since 2020, we’ve been focused on pushing the envelope on how well a design can be recreated — in print or embroidery.
We like taking the time to figure it out.
What We Do Differently
Flat Rate Costs
Predictable pricing with no surprise fees
Fast Turnaround
Get your orders in hand within weeks, not months
High Quality Inks
Prints that look bold and feel comfortable to wear
Retail-quality Craftsmanship
We use a hybrid process with water-based and plastisol inks to get the right balance of soft hand feel, fine detail, and solid color.
For detailed, full-color artwork, we use simulated process printing instead of standard CMYK. It lets us hit a wider range of color and keeps things closer to the original design.
These choices come from experience and knowing what actually works on a real garment.

Testimonials
“We’ve worked with Hard Eight Screenprinting on two different shirt projects now and both times they’ve been solid to work with. Our most recent job had a pretty unusual ask where we wanted the design to look like it was coming out of the shirt pocket. A couple other shops would not take it on, but Ross was willing to figure it out with us and make it work. The end result turned out great and matched what we were picturing. Ross has been easy to communicate with, proofs were straightforward, and everything came back on time. Overall, Hard Eight has been a dependable shop and I would highly recommend them to anyone.”

“We’ve used Hard Eight for all of the merch for The Dreamland Cinema for the last few years and we intend on working with Ross & team for years to come! We are always pleased with the quality of the screen printing and embroidery work and the turnaround times are quick too. We appreciate their communication and collaboration, ensuring we always get what we want. We’d recommend working with Hard Eight to any small business or to anyone else who wants to support a local creative business that does great work!”
