Technical Questions
Computer programs used: CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop.
Color separations: Multi-color images need to be mechanically color separated (each color printed in black and white on a separate sheet of paper or film). If you have artwork in a vector format such as CorelDraw or Illustrator, we can print out the separations.
CMYK separations: please call first for specifications.
Match PMS colors: there is a color matching fee of $15 per color.
Image size: Depends on the garment sizes and style and placement. Call for details.
Screens: The one-time screen set-up fee is a labor charge which covers the preparation and cleaning of the screens. We re-use the screens over and over again, and we keep your designs on file for future re-orders.
