1. What size should my image be?
For T-shirts youth medium to adult XL can be printed together at a 12.5” x 12.5" maximum image size. Youth small, infant and toddler sizes will need to be screen printed with a smaller size imprint. We can print both youth and adult t-shirts together if the design size is made to fit the smallest item being printed. Some customers prefer to have two sizes of films and screens made, one for adult and one for youth. When printing a small order, one size of art is obviously the most economical choice. Ideal image size on other items will be determined by various factors including seams, pockets, pouches, layers and even your personal preference.
2. Can my image be printed on multiple shirt colors?
Yes, but you may incur additional charges. As long as the same ink color can be used on all tee shirts, there should be no problem. An example of an issue would be printing red and green text on a charcoal shirt then switching the shirt color to red. Another common problems we see involves black outlines that look great on light colors but disappear on dark substrates.
3. How do I know if I have good artwork?
The best way to find out is send it to us via one of the methods described in SENDING ART section. We will inspect the art and let you know what is needed, if anything. We have put together a list of statements to help point out some of the common problems we see;
4. Do you keep the screen after the jobs have been printed?
Most screens are kept a few days after the completion of each job. After that they are reclaimed and used for new jobs. The retensionable frames we use on most jobs are too expensive to store for reuse.
5. Do you keep the films on file?
