Design Limitations

Edited

We specialize in spot color screenprinting, with a maximum of 6 ink colors on the front/back only. For package deal products, we are limited to 3 spot ink colors on each side. This way, we can keep our pricing extremely low, while delivering a high quality product. 

As a result, there are some limitations to spot color screenprinting:

  • We do not print halftones/gradients/ombre effects.

  • We are limited to a minimum of 1.5 pts in the lines and other graphical elements of your design. This applies to both positive and negative space.

  • This means that really small/fine details that are below 1.5 pt when sized to your print may not always come out cleanly on the final print.

  • If you submit a high resolution vector file with graphical elements smaller than 1.5 pts, we are not able to manually resize. In cases like these, your proofs will include a disclaimer. 

  • For ink colors, we only print using our list of house coated Pantone colors and will match your design’s colors as closely as possible to our available options. 

  • If your desired ink color falls outside of our house list, we are not able to match to a custom Pantone.

  • Due to differences in device screen brightness, both ink and t-shirt garment colors may appear differently on your proofs compared to the physical product. 

Print placement/size limitations:

  • We only print on the front and back. We do not provide sleeve printing services, or other specialty areas.

  • Our maximum print dimensions on most adult unisex garments is 12” wide x 15” tall.

  • For youth garments, we are limited to 9” wide x 12” tall.

  • If your order contains both adult and youth garments, we are limited to a maximum of 9” wide x 12” tall in order to fit your design on youth shirts.

  • If you would like different print dimensions for adult and youth, please place separate orders.

IMPORTANT: Please review these policies and your proofs carefully prior to approving a proof for production.
