How we print
Front only. We print on the front of tees and hoodies. No back prints, no sleeves, and no front and back on one shirt.
Light shirts: sublimation. Photos and artwork go on white or light colored shirts by sublimation, which sets the image into the fabric.
Black shirts: vinyl. Sublimation does not show on dark fabric. Pick a black shirt and we print your image on an 8 by 10 inch vinyl and press it on.
