Dye Sublimation Printing

A big trend today is dry performance or moisture management apparel. Traditional screen printing or cad printing covers fabric with ink or film, making it difficult for air or moisture to pass through. Dye sublimation printing maintains a fabric's 'wicking' characteristics.

When the sublimation dye is placed next to polyester and heated the polyester molecules open. The sublimation dye turns into a gas and then penetrates the fibers of the fabric when heated. After the heat is removed, the polyester molecules will close and permanently trap the sublimation dyes. The image gets permanently transferred to the polyester garment. When the fabric cools, the fibers close, and permanently retain the brilliant color of the sublimation dye.

One important note is that dye sublimation works only on light colored shirts and cannot be used for designs that require white printing.

Dye Sublimation Printing Benefits:

• Is permanent and becomes part of the fabric.
• Makes a t-shirt or jersey light weight and breathable.
• Maximizes "wicking" properties.
• Long lasting, brilliant full color.
• We GUARANTEE that it won't ever crack or peel.

What Method Of Imprinting Is Best For You? Screenprinting or Digital Art Printing?

Screenprinting:

• Perfect for designs that require a high level of vibrancy or being printed on dark colored apparel.
• Uses spot color (each color of your design is printed on its own screen which helps achieve the exact colors you are looking for).
• Maximum size of imprint is limited to 12"w x 12"h.
• Typically used with quantities of 24 or more due to the extra set-up time required.

Please view our Copyright & Licensed Apparel Policy.

Digital Printing:

• Used to print art that is full color design.
• Best for photo tshirts which allows all the beautiful colors and vibrant contract of the original picture.
• Can print as large as 11"w x 16"h.
• Direct digital isn’t as restrictive as traditional screen printing and many formats can be used such as: vector art, high resolution bitmap images or digital camera photos.
• There’s no concern for spot vs. process color, as printing is done directly from the computer to the tshirt printer.
• No minimums or set up fees.

Digital Printing Format Guidelines:

• Exact description of the printable area can be found in the product details (Note: the design size should fit the print area. Minimizing the design is always a possibility without losing picture quality; however, enlargements are not since the design will appear "pixelated").
• Create digital art design files so they can be opened in: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop or CorelDRAW.
• Graphics should be actual print size or larger, with a resolution of at least 150dpi or be in vector art format for best-quality print.
• Recommended maximum size of 3000 x 3000 pixels.
• Maximum file size of 3MB (anything larger may not show a live preview).
• Preferred Formats:
• - Raster: PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PSD
• - Vector: EPS, AI, CDR, WMF
• The colors within your uploaded logo will be produced as they appear in the file (unless specified in design comments).
• Product design and colors may vary slightly from what you see on your monitor.
• Some very large vector files or non-standard uploaded images may not show a live preview on your garment; however they are acceptable, and will be saved with your design.

We Have Tshirts to Fit Any Budget — How To Save Money On Imprinted T shirts

1. Limit the number of colors you wish to print. Fewer colors require fewer screen set-ups and less time to print additional colors.
2. Limit the number of locations on the t-shirt. Additional placement charges apply if you want to add additional locations.
3. Order white or light colored t-shirts. T-shirt mills charge more for dark colors and printing on dark tshirts often require printing a white "underlay" to avoid the dark t-shirt color bleeding through the design.
4. The More You Buy, The More You Save. Order in large quantities and your price per imprinted tshirt can go down dramatically.

Cadcut Printing

Cadcut printing uses a high-performance print / cut technology to create designs that are contour-cut and applied to garments with a heat-press technology. The specialized films that we use are extremely durable, and soft to the touch. This application is a great method to apply team names and numbers to athletic uniforms and for dark garments. For dark garments we use an opaque film that prevents the garment color from bleeding through the graphic.
NEW! We even have a new glitter option that brings your flashiest ideas to life! Pick from 8 colors of glitter flake film that is heat applied to cotton or polyester garments.

Cadcut Printing Guidelines:

• Pixel designs cannot be used — they must be converted into vector designs.
• To convert to vector artwork, you can use a conversion graphics program and follow the steps below:
• In this type of a program it is possible to open the pixel design and vectorize it "along the curves".
• It automatically creates curves along the shape of the design.
• Save this curve and edit it in a vector design program.
• Note: In general, converting photographs into a printable vector design is difficult and requires a lot of time and effort.
• Vector designs can be created with Corel Draw, Inkscape, or Adobe Illustrator.
• Vector designs are limited to 2-colors and should not exceed 11.8” x 11.8”.
• After the conversion into curves (or paths), proof every object in the design for thin lines which cannot be cut easily.
• Save/Export designs as .eps
• Before uploading, your design should be saved or exported into .eps format.
• When using Adobe Illustrator, go to File/Save As, and select EPS.
• When using Corel Draw this can be done by going to File/Export/Encapsulated PostScript (EPS.)
• Note: A common mistake occurs when the pixel design is opened in a vector graphic program (such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw), and is then saved with the .eps file extension. This does not mean the content of the .eps file is vector; it is still a pixel design and will need to be vectorized before saving.

Artwork Specifications

For a free artwork evaluation, email artwork to Info@LogoSportswear.com. If your file is over 4 mb use our upload feature, upload your design. Click and browse for your logo art. It is preferable to receive vector images such as Adobe Illustrator (.ai), Corel Draw (.cdr), and Illustrator (.eps) files. We will accept other formats like BMP, JPG, GIF, EMF, and WMF. Graphic artwork can come into one of two formats: vector or raster (bit map).

Vector-based images are mainly used for spot-color separations such as typefaces, solid-colored graphics and clip-art images. Vector art images identify the math coordinates (or vectors) between point A and point B and the image is made up of connected lines.

Raster-based images are designed for high-end, photorealistic work. These images are used for digital printing and process color printing. These images consist of small pixels (or dots) of color that are connected and can be used to tweak, enhance and lighten photos. Bitmap images are created by scanning artwork or digital photographs, or by "painting" with a photo editing or paint program such as Corel PhotoPaint or Adobe PhotoShop.

Unlike vector images, the quality of a raster image is directly related to the image's resolution or number of pixels. Vector images, on the other hand, are created by mathematical equations, so pixels don't impact the quality of the image. As a result, they can be scaled up or down in size without loss of quality.

Image Size & Resolution:

Be aware that images cannot be printed larger than they come to us. Best results are obtained from images that are high-resolution (150 dpi or greater) and larger than the area you request them to be printed into. Images taken from web sites are not high-resolution (generally 72 dpi) and cannot be reproduced well on a T-shirt.

So that we can print your design on clothing and mouse pads, your design (e.g. photo) must:

• Be saved as .png, .jpg, .bmp, or .gif (transparent formats, i.e. .gif or .png, are preferred).
• Have a minimum resolution of 150 dpi.
• Maximum size of 3000 x 3000 pixels.
• Maximum file size of 3 mb.

Additional Information
Please don't create your art in a word processing program. Such a design usually has to be recreated from scratch in the correct program. A program like Microsoft Word comes with a good selection of clip art, and allows you to create graphics, shapes and text effects in many colors, but it is difficult (and often times impossible) to print color separations from word processing programs. Also please don't change the format of your design to make it easier to email.
