We were printing some custom velvet invitations for a super secret wedding (sorry we can’t show you the final product!), and look how pretty these test prints came out!  They are almost worth framing as they are, but imagine how cool it would be to print images or quotes on!  Thanks to our flatbed printer, we’re able to print on any surface up to 4′ x 8′, so bring us more fun materials to experiment with!

We had the privilege of doing all the printing for Float Fest again this year, and after many evenings of staying late to get it all done, we are ready to party!  If you or someone you know is throwing a big event, talk to Chris about special bulk pricing and we’ll hook you up!  We print signs, banners, stage scrims, passes, lanyards, schwag items, posters, menus, and more!  We hope everyone has a great weekend!

Direct to Garment Printing is the most cost effective way to get a design with a wide variety of different colors printed onto fabric.  With screen printing, there’s a screen charge for each color in the design, plus additional run charges, so designs with more than a few colors can get very complex and  expensive.  With Direct to Garment (or DTG) the design is created using a 4 color process, printed all at once- very similar to the way inkjet printers print on paper.  Instead of being limited to solid flat colors, designs can include photo realistic graphics!  Another advantage to DTG printing is that the ink doesn’t add a lot of texture on top of the fabric, so the clothing stays just as soft and smooth as if it were unprinted.  DTG is most affordable and effective on white 100% cotton fabric, but with pre-treatment and a white ink underlay, it can be done on colored or black fabric as well!  Check out some of these designs below and let us know if you have any cool apparel ideas you’d like to see come to life.  We can’t wait to see what you create!

Has your printer ever asked you if your file has bleeds, and sent you into a blind panic?  Put the bandages away, we’re here to explain!

 

What are bleeds? penny dreadful gif

How To Add Bleeds to you Print File

If you would like color to go all the way to the edge of your finished piece, you will need to include a .125″ bleed on all four sides.  This will add a total of .25″ to the height and width of your file size, so a file for a 5″x 7″ Invitation with full bleed would need to be 5.25″ x 7.25″.  All text and important visual elements should remain at least .25″ away from the cut line.  The graphic above shows proper file setup for a standard 3.5″x 2″ business card with bleeds.

 

Need help exporting your files with bleeds?  Here’s a few handy reference links:

With Fourth of July fast approaching, we wanted to show off this beautiful red white and blue pop up banner we made for Jose Robles at Capital Integrity Group.  This banner is printed on an all new and extra durable blackout material that has more of a canvas feel than our standard polyester banner inserts.  It’s great for outdoor displays where you don’t want the sunshine to make your banner translucent and obscure your message.  Get prepared for your next event and contact us today about making a custom pop up banner of your own!
