For example, a white artwork print can go on a black, dark grey or royal blue t shirt in different garment sizing depending on your need.<\/p><p><strong>Can I order blank garments?<\/strong><\/p><p>Yes you can. The minimum quantity is the same as an imprinted order. The price will be $1 off the printed price.<\/p><p><strong>What is the maximum screens (colours) we can have per print?<\/strong><\/p><p>This is a great question and will depend on your artwork. If you want to go all out and get tons of screens for a very colourful t-shirt, we&rsquo;ll help you make it work! Remember that you&rsquo;ll save costs by reducing the number of colours, and a tasteful few colours can be more noticeable than a whole rainbow but again, we&rsquo;ve got your back.

The end result is a high quality print that will last for many years. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artik.com\/screen-print\/\">Read more about screen printing<\/a> or watch this video to see our shop in action:<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4JrDXm0R6Vs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p>Vinyl transfers are a quicker and simpler process. Your design is cut out of coloured vinyl material and pressed with heat against the fabric of the t-shirt. While vinyl transfers look good, they usually aren&rsquo;t as beautiful or long lasting as screen prints. This makes vinyl transfers better for temporary uniforms or quickly customized t-shirts.<\/p><p><strong>Can I add different text on the back of each tee?<\/strong><\/p><p>Yes, we do individual names add ons. We use 1 colour vinyl transfers, choose from: White, Black, Navy, Red, or Royal Blue. The text would have to be all capitalized in a bold font.<\/p><p><strong>Can you print across the seam?<\/strong><\/p><p>No, all artwork must be 0.5&Prime; away from the seam.&nbsp;We&rsquo;ve experimented and the seam tends to ruin the print.<\/p><p><strong>Do you print on the side of t-shirt?<\/strong><\/p><p>Yes, as long as the side does not have a seam.
