Choosing T-shirts
If you have a favorite T-shirt brand, we can probably get it. Below are the brands we’ve trusted for years with consistently good results at a variety of prices.
Click on the brands below to check out their shirt selections.
Fabric Inks
For garment 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.
