Everything You Need To Know About Vinyl T-Shirt Printing
Vinyl is known for its affordability and durability. Vinyl can often last as long, or even longer than the garment it’s is printed on.
Unlike cheaper printing methods like iron-ons, vinyl does not crack, peel or fade as easily.
Pre-mature fading or damage usually occurs when the garment is mishandled and not properly taken care of. Read on our vinyl care for more information.
Vinyl can feel slightly raised or flat on the shirt, depending on the thickness of the material we print with.
Texture can be smooth, plastic-y and glossy, but can also be soft and matte. This is also dependant on the material.
Vinyl transfers start out as blank sticker-like sheets that we print and cut into the shape of your design.
Once printed, we pick off the excess until the transfer print matches your digital version.
Then, we prep, measure, and place the transfer on your shirt (adhesive side down), and run it through a heat press to finalize your print.
Vinyl is awesome for:
We highly recommend that you send us your design as a Vector file. This is so your design will stay crisp and sharp even when printed.
Alternatively, a PNG with a high DPI (300 dpi) is also fine, but we can not guarantee the same quality.
This prevents your print from fading and the adhesive from loosening. Wash with similar colours.
Use a mild detergent. Do not use detergents that contain bleach!
If possible, take out the garment before it’s completely dry and hang it (out of sunlight) as repeated washes and excessive heat may fade the print.
Air/Hang drying is one of the best ways maintain a vinyl printed garment!
Ironing directly onto the print will cause it to melt, and warp your design. We also reccomend to iron your garment with another cloth on top of it, just to be safe.
Chemicals used in dry cleaning may harm and damage your print.
If you must, use a cloth and spot clean your garment.
