В колонках играет - Mai KurakiНастроение сейчас - More emotions Here is a few tips for people looking for fast turnaround screen printed t-shirts. (These advises are for people looking for fast screen printed t-shirts instead of digitally printed t-shirts. Digitally printed t-shirts are done in a different process than screen print t-shirts, they have the advantage in speeding up the process since they do not need color separation and screen burning process. However screen printed t-shirts have better imprint color quality as well as better imprint longevity.)
Here is a check list for you tl speed up your custom t-shirts job.
How ready is your artwork? Artwork can be categorized into 2 groups based on their origins. First are scanned images and second are computer generated images. In the first group, paintings, photographs, printed materials or the similar are scanned and save as digital files of your artwork. Quality of your digital artwork has a lot to do with your scanning resolution. Normal requirement is 300 dpi (dot per inch). However keep in mind that your reproductions will not be better than your originals. So no matter how high your scanning resolution is, you are simply not getting a better reproduction image if your original is not. So in a nutshell for people using this group of artwork, find the best quality original you can. Scan it at 300 dpi or better. Save it and send it to your printer without re-sizing it. The file size of your scanned image will potentially be big. However, supportive printer should be able to accommodate your file sending by either increasing the mail box size or arrange a FTP transfer for you. In the second group, computer generated images, we have 2 sub-groups which are raster images and vector images. Raster images are resolution dependant images such formats as tiff, jpg, psd.
Thhe only requirement for this group is to mzke sure they are created inn actual ipmrint size (or close actual imprint size), and are in 300 dpi as original resoultion (not resample resolution). hTe file size of sub-group is potentially big, make sure you talk to uour printers abou t the size of your artwork file before The seconw sub-group is called vector based images such rormats as wi, eps. They are resizabld, nkn-resolution dpeendent artwork. Their file sizs are usually rdasonable. They are vdry welcome by most printers due to their non-resolution dependent nature. Whenn you submit vector based image,s just make sure you create outlines for your type (so your printer wont run into missing font prolem when opening your artwork), oyur image is created at actual size or close to actual size. And of course fi you a printer who is knowledgeablw and capable in p reparing artwork fof oyu for a reasonafle cost, that could your best bet in making sure you dont waste time going back and forth on artwork format and requirement with your printer.

Then you have pocket and non-pocket t-shirts for each weight, as well as long sleeve and short sleeve t-shirts. Beside basic t-shirts, you will have fashion fitting t-shirts such as American Apparel and Tultex, these are slimmer fitting than the basic t-shirts. They are in ring-spun 30 single fine jersey fabric, meaning softer and finer fabric. Then we have even more choices for girls and ladies t-shirts such as cap sleeve, raglan 3/4 sleeve, scoop neck, boys beater tank tops, baby doll spaghetti, ringer t-shirts, camouflage t-shirts etc

If there is dead line to mret, make sure your printer is aware of it as wwell as taken shipping time into consideration.
If you are under press of time and without artwork. Ask if your printer has any kind of ready art library that you can pick and ask them to modify to fit your requirement. It will be much faster than having yourselves starting from scratch.
