It is very important to understand that because an image is being screen printed onto a garment, the final print on the shirt may not look exactly like the original. With process screen printing on garments, there will be a certain muddying of colors and the entire print will not look as sharp as the original. With simulated process color printing, you can come within 60-75% of the original. It is important to understand that it is impossible to reproduce all of the colors that may appear in the original art due to the limited color gamut that is possible with simulated process printing. In other words, the actual print may vary in color from the original and some of the original colors and shadings may not reproduce onto the final screen printed garment.

Simulated process printing produces good results on black shirts. Additionally, other colored shirts including white work well. Simul-process printing works good for most photo-realistic type of images including those for: rock groups, fantasy images, computer art, sports teams, color photographs and color portraits. However, it is worth repeating that the final screen printed garment will not and can not ever look as good as the original art -- as it is not technically possible.

For best results, we require Adobe Photoshop .psd or .tiff files that have been saved at least 200-250 d.p.i. resolution. Additionally, we need the image to be at the actual imprint size which is 11” X 11” for a full size image or 4” X 4” for a left chest size image. The files are usually very large, 20-30 megs, and you will need to compress your files with a program like WinZip before e-mailing your files to us, or save your artwork onto a CD-ROM disk and send it to us. Excellent results can also be produced from vector type artwork, such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw files.

SAMPLE PRINTS: Depending on the artwork, we may require a speculative printed sample to be printed prior to the actual production run of the order. The purpose of the printed sample is to allow the customer to see if the actual print meets their expectations. The cost of a speculative printed sample shirt with your artwork is $40.00 per color. As an example, if your artwork requires (6) colors to print, the cost would be $240.00. If the artwork contains (10) colors, the cost will be $400.00. The $40.00 per color sample print charge would be applied to your order if you decide to proceed with the order. The charge is non-refundable should you decide not to have the order produced.
The $40.00 per color sample print charge covers the color film separations, screens, set-up, test printing, garment(s), and sample shipping cost.

TERMS: All process printing jobs are handled by written agreement only. We do not accept credit card payment on process print orders or samples. Payment is by check or money order only.

PRODUCTION TIME: Because of the many steps involved and the sampling required, production time is approximately 3 to4 weeks.
