Graphic Design
"Graphic Design is key to your shirts selling or reaching your audience, with poor graphics you get a substandard end product, great graphics will allow you to reach your audience - and they, in turn, will alllow you to reach your goals."
Great art sells t shirts. Graphics are often the difference between having a shirt that sells or otherwise gets noticed, and having one that is used for mowing the yard in!
Do you have a favorite t shirt? If you do, chances are the graphic content (along with comfort and fit) is the key element in it being your 'favorite shirt'. If you are in the business of selling shirts, great art is the number one element in causing an emotion or an impulse to buy. If you are using shirts to convey a message for your company or organization a well done graphic can be the difference between having shirts and having shirts people notice and talk about. T shirts are a canvas to advertise your goods or services; they last a long time and will likely be seen by thousands of people before they wear out; and, as such, they are one of the least expensive forms of business advertising. Regardless of why you need shirts printed, your graphics are what is going to make your shirts unique and the better the graphic the more likely your shirts will be noticed!

Color Separations
Already have your graphics, but don't know how to color separate them for screen printing? No worries - we have you covered.
Our expert color separations will get your graphic from computer to screen and give you a superior print everytime! Color separations are required on raster (Photoshop, Bitmap, TIFF) files in order to prepare them for screen printing as these graphics typically have hundreds of thousands to millions of colors in them to be screen printed they have to be separated into a much smaller color gamut (typically between 8 and 14 colors) that when screen printed on t shirts, still allow the graphic to appear as it does on computer screen or printed paper.
We take great pride in our color separations and put the extra effort into them to separate to the smallest number of colors required to get your final print to match your original graphics.
