Frequently asked question
We will answer all your questions.
Which printing technique is best for my project?
It depends on what you need to print. Digital printing is perfect for short runs and detailed images, screen printing for large quantities, dye sublimation for synthetic fabrics, and transfer for custom t-shirts.
How should I submit the files for printing?
You can send files in high-resolution PDF format, with CMYK color profile and abundances of at least 3 mm. Make sure text and images are embedded. For heavy files, use services such as WeTransfer or our direct upload.
