1)How do I find out how many colours do I have in my artwork?
Basically 1 solid colour in your artwork is 1 screen, so 1 printing colour. Please send us your artwork with the quote form so we can provide an accurate quote. If you have grades of colours, we zoom into the design to see if this is a “half tone” or a different colour.
2)What is the maximum number of colours we can print?
We can print up 7 colours as a standard. In some cases we can print up to 12 colours, please ask our team of experts to know more. We can print digitally so you can have a more photographic detail in the print. We can also print half tones of the design so you can get tonal effects.
3)My artwork is a photo, painting or has over 7 spot colours, can you still print it?
Yes we can. Please ask our team of experts for advice. We might need to use the digital printing method for this.
4)What is the difference between digital and screen printing?
Both methods have advantages depending on the result you are looking for. Screen printing gives a traditional finish, with softer colours and look. Digital is more bright and crisp.
Screen printing:
Screen printing uses1 screen per colour. A screen will apply 1 colour and you can print up to 7 colours per project. Screen printing is used to print on all sort of material such as textiles, plastic, paper and latex.
Digital printing:
This is a modern process that is monitored by a computer. Images are analysed and converted into a format which can then be printed directly onto the fabric. This process allows to print more detailed artworks. Since there is no screen to be developed prior to printing, it is faster than screen printing however more expensive.
5)Can I emboss/ deboss any fabric?
Velvet, deadstock leather, faux leather can be debossed or embossed.
6)What type of artwork files should I submit?
We can accept many file types but the most important is you provide the highest quality artwork files available. Vector files such as .ai, .eps or .svg are preferred. Please ensure all fonts are converted to curves before saving. If vector artwork is not available then a very high quality bitmap file such as .jpg, .png or .tif is usually acceptable. If any artwork adjustments are needed our talented graphic artists can assist at no additional charge.
