About Moshprint

The designs were never the problem. Bands know what they want. They show up with artwork that took weeks — skulls, reapers, intricate linework, stuff that means something — and then they have to send it to a shop that spends most of its time printing polo shirts with company logos.

I remember that feeling. Attaching a file full of death metal imagery to an email and second-guessing whether to add an apology before hitting send. Most printers handled it fine. But that discomfort was real — because the environment wasn’t built for us. It was built for corporate accounts. The pricing reflected it, the minimums reflected it, the whole experience reflected it.

Getting quotes for smaller runs often meant hearing “we can do DTF” — which sounds like screen printing if you don’t know the difference. DTF is a legitimate option, and we offer it too, but it’s not the same product. The feel is different. The durability is different. A lot of people don’t realize they’re not being quoted for what they actually asked for. I’ve heard “someone else quoted us less” more times than I can count, and almost every time that someone is quoting a transfer, not a screen print. Worth knowing the difference before you decide.

And even when I did get orders placed, the quality wasn’t always there. Underbases bleeding out from under colored ink on dark shirts. A haze around the edges of a design where too much ink pushed through and spread past the artwork. Bare spots in the middle of a print where the ink didn’t clear the mesh cleanly. These aren’t catastrophic failures — they pass a lot of quality checks — but they’re the kind of things you notice when you’re wearing the shirt, and they add up.

I’m Brandon Fandel — owner, operator, and the person running every press, pulling every squeegee, and answering every email. I spent six years in corporate marketing at a global manufacturing company, and before that I was playing in bands, ordering merch, and quietly building a list of grievances with the print industry. One shop I worked with for years moved locations, changed staff, and by the time I tracked them down, the service had changed with it. You get used to that kind of thing after a while, but you don’t stop noticing it.

When I left the corporate world in 2024, I built Moshprint out of a property I own in Latrobe, PA. The goal was a shop that actually fits us as metalheads and musicians — one where you don’t feel like you’re explaining yourself when you hand over your artwork, where the pricing is honest and competitive for real screen printing, and where the person who quoted you is the same person who prints your job.

Moshprint was built with the metal community in mind, but we print for businesses, nonprofits, schools, and organizations of every kind — our death metal style logo doesn’t mean anything about whose order we’ll take seriously.

Moshprint runs two lanes: Moshprint Custom, which handles custom screen printing for bands, businesses, nonprofits, and anyone else who needs their gear done right; and the Moshprint Merch brand, which is original apparel built for the metal community — more on that below.

We’re based in Latrobe, PA. We serve Westmoreland County, the Pittsburgh area, and ship nationwide.

I’m not the cheapest option out there — and I’m not trying to be. What I’m competitive on is actual screen printing, with a 24-piece minimum that’s lower than most shops you’ll find. If you’re under that and need help, reach out anyway.

Straightforward jobs and special situations get considered — I’m not going to turn someone away without at least having a conversation. And for orders that genuinely make more sense as transfers, we offer DTF application too.

I run this entire operation myself. That means every job gets real attention, but it also means I’m one person. I’ll occasionally take a day to get back to you. I’ll make mistakes sometimes and own them when I do. What I won’t do is leave you guessing about where your order stands or send something out the door that I’m not satisfied with.

The metal community has always had merch. What it’s never really had is a brand — something you wear not because you’re repping a band, but because you’re repping the culture itself.

That’s the gap Moshprint is building into. The D2C line is original apparel designed from inside the world it’s made for. The designs are intentional.

Take the Mr. Blegh Tee — if you’ve spent any time in the metalcore or deathcore world, you know exactly what “blegh” means, and I’m certain that you’re familiar with the little green sticker that told you not to eat poison as a kid. I made that design as a collision of the two. It’s not trying to explain itself to people who don’t get it, and it’s not made for people who don’t. That’s the whole point.

The goal is gear that people actually want to wear and actually identify with — not because someone told them to, but because it says something true about who they are. Printed by us, on blanks worth wearing.
