What is Heat Transfer Vinyl | HTV?
Heat transfer vinyl, or HTV for short, is a specialty vinyl polymer that can be used on most fabrics and materials to create designs. It has an adhesive backing so it can be cut, weeded, and placed on a substrate for heat application attaching the design onto the material.
HTV can be layered with different colors and patterns up to 4 layers MAX per design before running into complications.
To ensure maximum performance and quality of your HTV Designs, please follow your care instructions thoroughly.
What is Sublimation Printing?
Sublimation printing, or Sub Printing for short, is a specific process of printing that first involves printing onto a special sheet of paper, then transferring that image onto the garment material (typically limited to lighter colored polyester or a polyester blend fabrics). The ink is then heated until it disintegrates and adheres into the fabric
Sub Printing uses heat to essentially bring ink and fabric together as one. The inks that are used turn into gas when brought under heat, then combine with the fabric and permanently print onto the fabric.
To ensure maximum performance and quality of your Sub Designs, please follow your care instructions thoroughly.
What are DTG Transfers?
Screen printing is a popular printing method, using a process that presses a paint like ink through a mesh screen onto the material in order to create a printed design. The ink is then set under a heat source to activate and harden the ink to set the design permanently onto your garment.
Currently we are only offering one color printing in house, which means we can accommodate simple one color designs.
To ensure maximum performance and quality of your Screenprint Designs, please follow your care instructions thoroughly.
VECTOR
Illustrator
*.AI & *.PDF
A vector graphic is artwork made up of points, lines, and curves that are based upon mathematical equations, rather than a solid colored square pixels. This means that no matter how large or small or how close you zoom in on the image, the lines, curves, and points remain smooth.
*.PSD & *.PDF
RASTER
PHOTOSHOP
Raster artwork is any digital art composed of horizontal and vertical rows of pixels. As a result, when raster images are enlarged, the image quality diminishes significantly. Typical raster file types include .psd, .tif, .jpg, .gif, and .bmp. All Photoshop files MUST be of high quality and a minimum of 300 DPI.
ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS
Vector artwork will give you the sharpest lines
and the best print results.
* Please save your graphic as your design name
to make it easier to find if we ever need reprints. *
LOW RESOLUTION RASTER FILES are NOT acceptable file formats.
