Project Recommendations to Creating a cost effective a screen printing project.

 

1. determine a design for imprint
2. make sure the artwork is in the correct format ( art charges may apply)
3. Decide weather design is printed on a dark or light garment (designs on white may not show up on black and visa versa.)
4. Color selection / we have 38 standard colors. (Choosing a standard color vs a PMS color match will save you money. PMS color match’s are additional for each project.)
5. Select garments to be printed. (remember the smallest size you choose will determine the size the screen print image will be for all garments using the original screen setup.)
