Printing is charged on top of the garment and depends on the method, how many positions you print, and how many colours are in the artwork. The studio quotes the two together, calculated on our server. How the bands work.

Colour names describe the garment as dyed. Screen rendering of a colour name is not a colour match, and printed ink on that garment is a separate approximation again. How we handle colour

What limits this body

  • The workhorse. Takes every method except sublimation.
  • Ring-spun yarn holds fine screen detail better than open-end cotton.

Where it can be printed

Printable areas, drawn to scale on a 16 by 20 inch field
12 x 16 in12 x 16 in4 x 4 in3.5 x 3.5 in
  • Front centre12 x 16 in / 30.5 x 40.6 cm
  • Back centre12 x 16 in / 30.5 x 40.6 cm
  • Left chest4 x 4 in / 10.2 x 10.2 cm
  • Sleeve3.5 x 3.5 in / 8.9 x 8.9 cm

Dashed edge is the printable boundary. The inner line is the safety margin, and artwork that crosses it risks landing on a seam or a hem. Placement tolerance on press is plus or minus 3 mm.

Method limits apply on top of these. Embroidery, for example, works to a 4 by 4 inch field regardless of how large the garment position is. The studio applies whichever limit is smaller and tells you which one it used.

Methods that run on cotton knit

5 of 6 methods are available on this fabric. The rest are listed below with the physical reason they are not. Nothing in this list changes after you place an order.

Available

Not available on this fabric

  • Sublimation dye bonds to polyester at a molecular level. Cotton has no polyester in it, so the dye washes straight back out.

Measurements

Adult tees and tanks. All figures are measured flat and doubled where relevant. Tolerance is plus or minus 1 cm. A garment measuring inside that tolerance matches its label.
