Design requirements, background removal & copyright

·       How can I ensure my artwork is centered and will print ok?

We have been printing for years and know that online it can be hard sometimes to centre the artwork 100%. So we take care of centering all artwork for you and if your design is off centre or a pocket print we make sure we get it looking right.

We also reach out to you if we think your artwork files need any touch ups.

·       How can I upload scanned images, photo’s or sketches?

The best way to do this is to scan your photo, sketch or anything you want printed that is in a ‘hard copy’. Set your scanner settings on ‘high detail’ or ‘600dpi’. Then you will have to convert the file type to a jpg or png file.

·       What files can I upload?

Try use large artwork that is crisp when you zoom in and enlarge it on your computer screen (In technical terms a PNG image with 300dpi or more is perfect) If you can supply artwork with a transparent background that is also ideal!

·       How do I know my designs / intellectual property & personal information are safe & won’t be sold?

Apart from being legally bound by copyright & intellectual property law to protect your designs. We are a renowned printing company with years of experience and over the years have printed for many artists, businesses and events which require their designs to be secure. We therefore have a fully secured website which keeps your designs secure in an offline privately run data centre which is only available to you with a login and password. We never give out samples of your printed designs and your artwork is deleted from our system once printed.

Printing

·       What do the prints look & feel like?

We use the industry leading Brother GT 782 & GT 381 printers which use premium soft feeling eco friendly inks direct from Japan. They aren’t thick or have a plastic feel to them like many other printers. We don’t use tacky heat transfers because they look unprofessional and crack, fade and peel after a couple of washes.

·       What types of printing do you offer?

We offer digital direct to garment printing (NOT transfers), and traditional silk screen printing all in house. These processes offer professional print washabilty.
