On Thursday's Work Table



Today we are printing 185 shirts for the All Saints Lutheran Pre-School in New Mexico! Since the shirts are blue, it presents a good opportunity to show how the background color affects the printed color in direct to garment printing. It's something like printing on blue paper on your home inkjet printer; the ink mixes with the color of the fabric.

To design for DTG printing, we print a color chart on the same fabric we are going to print shirts on. Using a color chart lets you re-color the graphic if you want to tweak the color combination. For example, the color yellow printed on a blue shirt yields a shade of green. Using the color chart you could see a whole range of colors as they appear on blue, so if you wanted to make a change you could.

On this particular order we are printing a full logo on the back and a pocket-sized logo on the front.

If you are in the market for t-shirts in large quantities, please check with us about wholesale pricing.
