FAQs

How many colors can you print?

Strictly speaking, we can print eight different ink colors at a time. However, we use several techniques to increase the number of perceived colors in a print. We can produce full color prints on both light and dark colored garments. See "What is 4-color process?", "What is simulated process?", and "What is index color?" in our Print 101 to learn more.

Can I print on various sizes?

T-shirts for youth small to adult 10XL can be printed together at a 12.5” x 12.5" design size. Youth extra small, infant and toddler sizes will need to be screen printed with a smaller sized print,. We can print both youth and adult t shirts together if the design size is made to fit the smallest shirt being screen printed. Some customers prefer to have two sizes of artwork made, one for adult and one for youth. When printing a small order, one size of art is the most economical choice.

PMS colors are designed for paper ink to be placed on white stock. You may indicate what PMS color you would like and make one of two choices:

2. Pay extra for a PMS color match, but understand it cannot be guaranteed to be exact on a textile, especially if it is not screen printed on white.

We will do an order as small as 36 shirts per design but there will be some restrictions on size and number of colors.
