Choosing Fabric
Here’s some links for bags and aprons.
Many custom projects come with very specific fabrics already chosen. As long as it will sit still, we can print on it.
For projects involving sewn fabric or yardage we ask that the client provide.
Fabric Inks
For garment and textile printing we use environmentally responsible Union mixopake inks.
We use the Pantone matching system to achieve accurate mixed color upon request. Printed Pantone books are considered the accurate reference point.
If you’d like an online reference, check out Cal Print’s online Pantone guide.
Each printed color requires set-up of the film and screen. Pantone mixing is $30 per color.
File Preparation
Once you’re ready to send in artwork, you’re welcome to send the original files at print ready size (300 dpi at final size, minimum) from either PDF’s, Illustrator or Photoshop files.
JPEGs would be a last resort, because images lose quality when compressed.
You can send files via email, or upload them via our Get a Quote form.
