How Is It Printed?
Full Color images are screen printed plastisol heat transfer use that Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) to create a full color image. Our Full Color option is recommended for complex graphics containing photographic elements or 4+ colors. Colors in your image are printed based on the CMYK values in your art file.
All colors should be CMYK process colors.
Athletic, Fashion for Darks, & Nylon have a full white underbase that makes those options opaque on all color fabrics. Use white only where you wish to have white printed. The Fashion for Lights formula does not have any white printing, which makes it super soft, but it will not be opaque.
Blues & Purples: For true blue tones use CMYK mixes that contain 30% more Cyan than Magenta. Conversely, colors with less than a 30% difference between Cyan & Magenta will have a purple tone.
Single Image Option
Designs can be oriented in landscape or portrait format. Single images only. Ganging or grouping multiple designs is prohibited.
Make your selections using the product configuration tool in bottom right corner or on the canvas ordering page to view pricing.Artwork Guidelines
