Frequently Asked
Questions
Q: I have an idea
for making some
custom
garments,business
advertisement, but I
don't know how to
create my art work.
Can you help?
A: Absolutely! We
can do it for you.
We provide up to 30
minutes of art time
free with every
order, and you would
be surprised what
can be accomplished
in that amount of
time. We can many
fonts and millions
of pieces of clip
art available for
your use. If your
idea requires a
piece of clipart and
some text, they will
even create this for
you. Or We can
recreate your
existing logo as
well.
Q: How do you make
custom printed
garments and how
long will they last?
A: All of our custom
garments are either
professionally
screen printed,
vinyl or Full Color
Vinyl. We do not use
heat transfers.
Your garments will
last for years if
properly cared for,
but of course this
depends on the
amount of wear they
are subject to.
Q: Does my business
or organization need
custom apparel?
A: YES! Custom
garments will first
and foremost make
your business or
organization appear
more professional.
It also provides a
very unique form of
advertising and
brand awareness
that continues to be
effective for months
and years.
Q:What
resolution should be
my graphics file?
For best printing
results, please make
sure that your image
file resolution
should be at least
300 DPI (Dots Per
Inch). The higher
the DPI is the
better quality your
final output will
be.Graphic
files at 72 dpi are
unacceptable for 150
line screen.
Q: What
are color
separations?
A
color separation is
an image that
defines where one
specific color will
be printed. Colors
can be mixed by
overlapping areas of
different color
separations, so that
one ink is applied
on top of the other.
By combining this
technique with
halftones, many
variations of colors
are made possible.
Q: How well will my
job match what I see
on my monitor?
Although
we are trying to
match the colors as
closely as possible,
the colors of the
final piece might
differ from the
colors you see on
your screen or a
printout from an
inkjet or laser jet.
Because of the wide
differences in
monitor calibration
and the different
technologies used,
some printed colors
may not exactly
match the colors on
your specific
monitor. Please pay
attention on the
color values to
assure close match.
Q: What is the
difference between
the RGB and CMYK
color format?
RGB refers to the
primary colors of
light, Red, Green
and Blue, that are
used in monitors,
television screens,
digital cameras and
scanners. CMYK
refers to the
primary colors of
pigment: Cyan,
Magenta, Yellow, and
Black. These are the
inks used on the
press in "4-color
process printing",
commonly referred to
as "full color
printing".
The combination of
RGB light creates
white, while the
combination of CMYK
inks creates black.
Therefore, it is
physically
impossible for the
printing press to
exactly reproduce
colors as we see
them on our
monitors. For this
reason, we need to
have the file
converted from RGB
to.
If you are
submitting the
artwork then by
doing it yourself,
you have maximum
control over the
results since you
can do adjustments
if a difference in
color occurs during
the conversion.
Q: How should I take
pictures with my
digital camera?
If you are planning
to use images taken
by a digital camera
on an offset
printer, please keep
in mind to shoot the
pictures using the
highest resolution
possible. That might
require largest
storage space on
your disk, or longer
download time, but
you will get the
best quality. The
resolution should be
of at least 300 dpi.
