Art Specifications

Our pricing assumes that we are provided with “camera ready art”. This means that we can take your file as is, and produce films with which to burn screens. If your art is not camera ready, there will be a graphic design fee applied to your order. If your design is one color, we prefer the art to be in black, as that will be the easiest way for us to produce a film positive.

Provided art should be sized as you would like the design printed on the shirt. If your art is not sized as you would like, it is your responsibility to let us know the actual size you would like the art to be printed. We prefer to get the design dimensions by width dimensions (ie, 11″ wide). There are some terms which have a common meaning in screen-printing such as “full front” or “full back” which we take to mean 10-12″ across depending on the height of the design. A “front left chest” or “over the heart” design is generally no wider than 4″ unless the design is taller than it is wide.

We use a standard set of screen-printing distances from the collar. if you would like a custom location, please be as detailed as possible when placing your order.

For vector files, it is important that you either attach any font files used, or create outlines of your text.

For raster files, it is important that your design be at least 300 dpi. If you are working with a multi-color file, we request that your file be saved in CMYK color format and that each color be in it’s own layer for ease of separations.
