What are Screen Fees?

To do screen printing, we use silkscreens. Each screen set up is $20.00 each. If your design is a 2 or more color design, there are 2 or more screen charges, one for each color we use.  Screen fees are waived on order of 200 pieces or more.

Which is better 100% or 50/50 cotton shirts?

100% cotton will have better print results.  Most dark colored 50/50 shirts will do what’s called “dye migration”.  Which means, if you have a red shirt , and we print white ink on it, the white ink will turn pink when it goes through the oven.

What type of art do you guys prefer to receive art in?

We prefer artwork to be in Illustrator. If it’s Illustrator, please send it the size you want it to be printed, and make sure you save text as outlines, and that each color is on it’s own layer. If it’s Photoshop, please make sure the artwork is to the size you want printed, and that it’s at least 300 dpi, and also that each color is on it’s own layer. 72 dpi images are for web, not printing, and will look terrible. Photoshop is really for pictures, not printing.

Do you guys trade?

We’ve traded for motorcycle repair, gym memberships, tacos, and rent in the past. If your business does something of value to us, we are open, show us what you got.
