  • What are care instructions ?
    Digital printing is a very delicate process. Although the process printing is permanent, the care of a garment is key to obtaining a lifetime of a beautiful and flawless image. Some keys are: washing inside out in cold water (or no more than 85°F), drying on low heat (or just air drying all together), and if ironing, iron around the stencil to preserve the artwork. We are not responsible for garments that aren’t cared for properly.
  • What are the artworks recommendations ?
    Our digital printing process can only be as good as the artwork. We can work with a variety of files, we recommend 200 DPI (Photoshop) OR Vector (Illustrator) artwork. Recommended formats : jpg, png, tif, eps. This will always be the best output possible. We also require for the art to be perfectly sized and scaled (max. 14"x16") to how you want it to look on the final print. Likewise, if you have questions about your artwork, please ask us before approval of your final mockup so that we can correct these problems before your job is run.

  • What inks are you used ?
    Items are printed with the latest in garment printing technology. In addition, our inks are water based and eco-friendly. This makes the feel much softer than traditional screen printed shirts, but just as durable. Inks we use are Oeko-Tex® certified. We’re using CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) compliant inks, which are required when printing on children's wear 12 and below.
  • What full color & white under base stand for ?
    Our next generation technology allows us to print in 1 or full colors at the same time. It means that there is no difference prices between 1 or 4 colors. We use full colors only on white garments. Dark garments need a white under base + full color. White under base is a white ink layer printed before colors layer. It is used on dark garments. Depending on the design, white under base may not be printed on all garment colors. White under base will apply on all the surface of a jpg file, because the artwork and background are on the sema layer. If you want white under based only on specific areas, the background has to be removed from your artwork, and saved as png file.
  • When is a white under base used?
    White under base isn't printed on white garments. Because under base is white ink, it'll print on other garment colors when a print file design includes the color white. It may also be used if the print file design doesn't include the color white, but is generally lighter than the garment color. Depending on the design, white under base may not be printed on all garment colors.
