What brand of shirts do you use?

We use shirts that are made specifically to be screen printed on.  Some of those brands include Hanes, Jerzees, Gildan, Fruit of the Loom, Anvil and Champion.  Each brand offers different colors in their 100% cotton, and their blended (cotton/polyester) shirts.  If you have a specific brand or blend in mind, just let us know when you request a quote.

What is the turnaround time for an order?

Our normal turnaround time is between 5 – 10 working days from the time we receive payment, depending on the complexity of the order. If you need your order sooner, just give us a call and we will see if we can accommodate your timeline.

Can I provide my own artwork?

Yes, you can provide your own artwork, but be sure to look at our Art Requirements page for more details.  

Can I request a PMS or Pantone color for a design?

Yes, you can but there will be an additional charge.  Please let us know your pantone color(s) at the time of your quote request so we can include that in the pricing.  

What is the difference between vector art and bitmap art?

Vector and bitmap (raster) art are two different types of electronic file formats for graphics.  In short, bitmaps are images made up of pixels and will get grainy when enlarged, whereas vectors are made up of lines and can be enlarged and never change appearance.

Bitmap graphics are composed of pixels, each of which contains specific color information. A pixel is minutely small; a single image may be composed of hundreds of thousands of individual pixels. When you enlarge a bitmap image, you'll notice that the image becomes grainy or rough looking as you begin to see the individual pixels get larger.  There are no sharp edges on the image as it is enlarged.  Adobe Photoshop, Corel PhotoPaint, and Macromedia Fireworks and Paint Shop Pro are just a few of the more popular Bitmap Editors. Common bitmap file extensions include: .jpg, .gif, .png, .tif, and .bmp.

Vector graphics consist of points, lines, and curves which, when combined, can form complex objects. These objects can be filled with solid colors, gradients, and even patterns.  Adobe Illustrator, Corel DRAW and Macromedia Freehand are the predominate editors on the market. Common universal file formats include .eps and .wmf and .svg. Unlike Bitmap graphics, it is far more likely to see Vector files delivered in formats unique to the programs which created them. Some popular program specific extensions include .ai (Adobe Illustrator), .cdr (Corel Draw), and .fla/.swf (Macromedia Flash).

Can you design a shirt for me?

Yes, we design shirts on a regular basis for clients.  You can look on our Samples page to see some of the shirts we've designed for other clients.

What about payment?

Payment of 1/2 of the total amount is due for the project to begin.  The balance is due upon delivery of the order.  Payment can be made by cash or check.

How much will my shirts cost?

There are many variables that determine the cost of your shirt order.  Some of those variables include the quantity, color of the garment, number of imprint locations and colors per imprint, etc.  Give us a call or send us an email today and we will be glad to get you a quote.

Are there price breaks for larger orders?

Yes, like other forms of printing, the more you order, the less expensive the price per shirt.  Give us a call or send us an email today and we will be glad to get you a quote.

Is there a minimum number of shirts I need to order?

We have a minimum order of 12 shirt if we are screen printing your order.  But if you are needing fewer than 12 shirts, just let us know.  We may have other options available. 

Why do darker shirts cost more?

There are a couple of items that factor in to darker shirts costing more.  The first is that darker shirts tend to cost more from the manufacturer due to the more extensive dying process.  Another item that may or may not play a factor is an "underbase".  When we print a color on a dark or black shirt, we sometimes need to put a layer of white ink down under it so it appears bright.  Without this step, the colors do not show up well on the garment.  This varies depending on the garment, the artwork and the colors required.
