Guidelines for Printing
Create your own logo, artwork or images in ANY art program you want, we can accept almost any file type. When you create and save artwork we need it the actual size you want printed. The Maximum width for printing is 12 inches wide. Standard left chest logos should fit within 4" x 4".

Full shirt printing front or back, as large as 12" x 16",
a vertical height of 10"-12" is recommended.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PRINT SIZES: Although many customers like to design very large designs for printing, you must be aware that a great big design that fits on Adult Mens Sized shirts may not fit on most ladies or youth sized shirts. Most ladies, juniors or youth sizes should not exceed 9" to 10" wide depending on the product, toddlers 6" wide and infants 5" wide!!


Hoodies on the front have very limited print areas between the top of the pocket and the neckline. Adult Hoodies max with a print area only 10" to 11" high, while youth hoodies max at only 7" inches high. Typically, if you want a single print size that will work for ALL shirt sizes, try to have your design sized to fit within 10 to 11 inches both vertically and horizontally.

Please VERIFY all dimensions of your printing by e-mail. We do not assume or rely on any measurements in artwork files, many times there are no measurements or they are inaccurate! You need to specify the overall size of ALL printing in inches.
Images, ClipArt and Photos must have a resolution of at least 300 DPI in order to print properly.
Set background colors to transparent. Do not send artwork with backgrounds representing the shirt color! Make sure that any Bitmap Images including cut and paste images have clean edges, especially on dark or colored fabrics.
When sending a Vector Art File (Ai, EPS, PS, PDF, CDR or CMX), convert the TEXT TO OUTLINES to reduce the possibility of font conflicts. Please send us your custom font file IF you want us to EDIT your text or if you want us to ADD matching text, without your unique font file, we cannot recreate the text properly.

Understanding ScreenPrinting COLORS:
Screenprinting (silkscreen) offers SIMPLE 1-color prints up to 8-color designs. Screen printing is the reproduction of an image or text using plastic ink applied to a shirt through a mesh or silk screen. Screenprinting ink is a thicker ink which is applied directly on top of a shirt fabric. Screenprinting uses Pre-defined or "Spot" colors. Spot colors are exact color formulas which cannot be changed by adjusting variables such as contrast, brightness, hue, tint or saturation. The most accurate screenprinting will result if your artwork, logos or images are designed using Pantone™ (PMS) SOLID color palettes.

Screenprinting can be applied to almost any type of fabric including 100% cotton, cotton/polyester blends, mesh, microfiber or 100% polyester. When using screen printing, every color in your image needs its own "Color Screen". This screen, similar to a stencil, controls the exact placement of just that color. Each color must be clearly defined.

{short description of image}Understanding DTG™ Printing and COLORS:
DTG™ (Direct-to-Garment) printing offers UNLIMITED COLORS using Precision Controlled Computer Equipment to apply High Quality Textile Pigment Ink directly to garments or fabrics. The method used by DTG™ to print colors, is referred to as four-color process printing because it uses four primary ink colors called CMYK.

DTG Digital printing uses permanent Textile Ink,
it is NOT an "iron-on" or any kind of a transfer.

If your artwork has fine lines, details and suttle color, shade or contrast variations, then Digital printing is your solution because it offers extremely High Resolution printing at over 720 DPI with Unlimited Colors and Effects. Print any Logo, Design, ClipArt, Artwork or Photos with all the colors and effects you want including Shade, shadow, outlines, halftones, fades and color gradients!

The most accurate color printing will result if your designs are created using CMYK Pantone™ (PMS) PROCESS color palettes. Pantone™ CMYK process colors are created using INK versus generic RGB colors which are used for computer monitors and websites produced using LIGHT. Since RGB colors exist only on computer monitors, many RGB colors cannot be accurately printed with ink, which may produce odd color results or shifts especially with blues, yellows and greens.

Many popular graphic software programs including Adobe Photoshop™, Adobe Illustrator™, CorelDraw™, Corel Photo-Paint™ have Pantone™ Colors built-in. All better quality graphic programs have HELP guides to show you how to properly use Color Management Tools or give us a call, we will be glad to help. Common programs such as Microsoft Word™, Excel™, Publisher™ and PowerPoint™ create graphics, BUT be aware that those programs can only produce files using RGB colors!
