Artwork:
We need images/designs in a Vector format (Corel draw, Adobe Illustrator, etc) or High Resolution JPG, TIFF, PDF, or PSD Files (Preferably at least 300 DPI or higher).
NOT Accepted: A "Bitmap" format (internet images, .gif, .bmp, jpeg, etc). If you are using a "scanned image" it is a Bitmap. Images from websites and the Internet are not only Bitmaps but usually only 72 DPI (dots per inch) and very low resolution = low quality for printing. These look great on your computer monitor but are not useable for printing. We look at each art job and determine the best course to yield the best print and fit within your budget.

You have single solid color or text, multiple solid color or text, 4 color processes, simulated process (Rock & Roll prints), Vector, and specialty prints (Glitters, HD) are the methods used to recreate your Masterpiece. Unless you specify the technique or inform us of budget issues we will choose the appropriate method.

The best file formats for screen printing:
1. CDR (Corel draw)
2. AI (Adobe Illustrator)
3. EPS (Encapsulated Postscript)
4. High Res TIF, PDF, or JPG (300 DPI or higher)
5. WMF (Windows Metafile)
6. or DXF/DWG (AutoCAD)
7. PSD Adobe Photoshop saves as a PSD. File and is a JPEG. Resolution should be set at minimum 150 to 200 maximum, preferred is 300 dip +.

If you are sending a multiple color image, please do not flatten.

Additional Art and Color Separation Charges:
A $50.00 per hour artwork charge is diligently charged when art is not ready to output; do the initial work yourself to keep this charge to a minimum. Customers will be notified regarding artwork fees and an estimated time be given to the customer and payment information will be taken (such as credit card number) prior to the artwork being done. Immediately after the artwork is completed the customer will be notified of final cost and then charged on their invoice.

Emailing your artwork / design:
Yes. Sending your artwork via email is common. We receive many emails with attached artwork each day. Please be sure and use the above information and file formats. You can reduce the size of the artwork to an acceptable level for emailing as we will enlarge or reduce to fit the smallest garment in any order. After re-doing your artwork into our graphics system, we will email to you for your approval. We suggest that you first "test send" your email with artwork to yourself, before sending to us. Simply attach your graphics file to an email addressed to your own email address, then send. Usually, what you receive (see) is what we will see.

Screen printing General Info:
Each final design (artwork) is sized according to the SMALLEST size garment in each order. Example: in an order of 20- youth mediums, 10 adult mediums and 3 adult XXLs, the final design is made to fit the youth mediums. Extra sets for sizes can be made at double the initial cost.

Youth sizes: "Full size" back or front is about 8" wide.

Adult sizes: About 10-13" wide. "Left or right-chest” imprint sizes are usually 3-4" wide. A sleeve imprint is usually 2-3" wide. If you have a specific size for your image imprint please advise - indicate on your design or via an email. Same for location of print. If nothing is indicated on our Order Form, or via email, we will process your order as being a "full-front" or "full-back" image. If you indicate neither front, nor back well will contact you.

Specify imprint locations: “Full-front, full-back, center-chest, center-back, left-chest, right-chest, left-sleeve, right-sleeve"- all as if you were WEARING the garment. You must specify what you’re printing for proper artwork placement.

Dark Color t-shirts: Screen printing any LIGHTER color of inks on a DARKER color of garment requires an underlay or “Flash” screen, if doing a one color on darks simply flash and print said color again. This under base (Flash) keeps the "top" (viewed) colors from "blending" with the dark background of the shirt which produces a muted image color (known as bleeding). If white ink is not one of your design colors, then you need to ADD this white screen to the total colors in your design.

Photographs (black and white, or colored from newspapers) are not acceptable for textile printing, these photos are composed of fine dots which get lost in the screen mesh and in the course weave of the garments. A photo that is in its original state will work better (snapshot) If you must scan the photo increase your resolution from 300 to 600 DPI. The BEST artwork for printing on textiles is: - the bolder, the less complicated, and the more eye-appeal (like reading a highway billboard - only a quick view to get the message).
