Printing Methods & Quality

Q
What printing methods do you use for t-shirts?
A

We specialize in DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing, which produces vibrant, full-color designs on any fabric type. We also offer embroidery for a premium, professional look, and 3D silicon patches for unique branding. Each method has specific advantages depending on your needs.

Q
What is DTF printing and why is it better?
A

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing transfers designs from a special film onto fabric using heat and adhesive powder. It's superior because it works on ANY fabric (cotton, polyester, blends), produces vibrant full-color prints, requires no pre-treatment, has no minimums, and lasts 50+ washes.

Q
Can you print on any color t-shirt?
A

Yes! Our DTF printing technology works perfectly on any color fabric, including black and dark colors. The white ink underlayer ensures your designs look vibrant and true to color on any shirt color.

Q
How durable are the prints? Will they crack or fade?
A

Our DTF prints are extremely durable, lasting 50+ wash cycles while maintaining vibrant colors. The prints are soft, flexible, and won't crack or peel when properly cared for. We use eco-friendly, water-based inks for long-lasting results.

Q
What types of apparel can you print on?
A

We can print on t-shirts, hoodies, polo shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, long sleeves, jerseys, and more. Our DTF printing works on cotton, polyester, tri-blends, performance fabrics, and even leather—all without any pre-treatment.

Q
Do I need to provide the shirts or do you supply them?
A

We can do both! We offer a wide selection of quality blank apparel from trusted brands, or you can provide your own garments if you prefer. Just let us know your preference when requesting a quote.

Design & Artwork

Q
Do you offer design services?
A

Yes, we offer FREE professional design services with every order! Send us your idea, logo, sketch, or concept, and our experienced designers will create a custom design for your approval before printing. No design skills needed!

Q
What file formats do you accept for designs?
A

We accept PNG, JPG, PDF, AI, PSD, and SVG files. For best results, we recommend high-resolution images (300 DPI minimum). If you only have a low-res image or sketch, our FREE design service can recreate it in high quality.

Q
How many colors can I use in my design?
A

With DTF printing, you can use UNLIMITED colors! Unlike screen printing which charges per color, DTF allows full-color designs with gradients, photos, and complex artwork—all at no extra cost per color.

Q
Can you match specific brand colors (Pantone)?
A

Yes! We can match Pantone colors and specific brand colors. Provide us with your Pantone numbers or brand color codes, and we'll ensure your prints match your branding perfectly.

Q
Do you print copyrighted designs or logos?
A
