What Method Of Imprinting Is Best For You?
Screenprinting or Digital Art Printing?

Sreen Printing

Screen printing has advantages as it is known for crisp colors and is ideal for large print quantities. Because set-up costs are higher, there is often a minimum order quantity for screen printing. Every color that is laid down on the T-shirt requires a screen. The more colors, the more screens. The more screens, the more cost to set up the order.

Digital and Photo Tshirts

If your art is a full color design then we use state of art digital art technologies to imprint your image on the tshirt you choose.

How To Save Money On Imprinted T shirts

1. Limit the number of colors you wish to print. Fewer colors requires fewer screen set-ups and less time to print additional colors.

2. Limit the number of locations on the t-shirt. Additional placement charges apply if you want to add additional locations.

3. Order white or light colored t-shirts. T-shirt mills charge more for dark colors and printing on dark tshirts often require printing a white "underlay" to avoid the dark t-shirt color bleeding through the design.

4. The More You Buy, The More You Save. Order in large quantities and your price per imprinted tshirt can go down dramatically.

5. Pick a company you can trust. Seek out a company that offers a wide range of custom apparel, screen printing and digital art t-shirt services. Look for real customer testimonials and reviews.

For over ten years, LogoSoftwear has been making all types of custom banner sign sizes, colors and shapes. Some of the key questions to consider when purchasing a banner are what type of banner do I need? What are the factors that determine the size of the banner needed? And how do I install my banner? We examine these questions and offer you information about the basic banner types we offer: Full Color Digital Banners or Cut Vinyl Banners.

Full Color Digital Banners

It used to be too expensive to print full color on large formats like banners. Digital printing technology has spawned new cost effective ways to print full color banners and achieve maximum impact. Our digital printers provide great color resolution at a reasonable price. Our state-of-the-art digital printers print your graphics in large formats and at sharp resolutions.

If you would like to have computer generated artwork or photos reproduced or want to offer multiple colors this process is for you. According to Marketing Insights, color increases visibility and recall by up to 40%. For digital full color banners, artwork can be supplied in bitmap images at the size you wish the banner to be in a resolution of 150 dpi or higher. We also have banner backgrounds and photo clipart that is available for you to combine with text to make your banner stand out.

Cut Vinyl Banners

Generally for basic banners needs, cut vinyl banners can give you your best bang for the buck. Using your vector artwork or using our layout designers, you'll be assured that this custom vinyl banner gets noticed. Computer cut vinyl banners are "adhesive backed vinyl stickers" cut into a particular shape. A computer plotter is used instead of templates or dies and cuts adhesive vinyl using the computer cutter. The lettering/graphics are then transferred by hand and applied to the vinyl banner material.

If you are looking to do a banner with basic text and one of two colors then this banner can be the best option. For vinyl-cut graphics, artwork will be made into vectors (i.e. outlines, curves). We prefer artwork in this format. These files are often are created in CorelDRAW or Adobe Illustrator and have file extensions such as .eps, .ai, and .cdr.

Chart To Consider Viewing Distance

Always ask yourself, "How far away will the banner be from the viewer?" For instance, if a Grand Opening banner will be on the front of a business with a large parking lot between the storefront and the street, the letter height must be large enough to be viewed by drivers on the street. Also, keep in mind that a driver only has about 1.5 - 3 seconds to read a message while in motion. The chart below will help you determine the correct height vs. viewing distance.

Q. Can I get a special size banner?
A. Stock sizes are specified and are the most commonly used. Call if you need another size not listed.

Q. Can I do second side personalization on banners or signs blanks?
A. Yes 2/sided banners and signs printing is available. Add 50% of sign price for second sided printing or vinyl lettering.

Q. Do the banners have holes for hanging?
A. Yes, your banner will have metal reinforced holes (grommets) every 2-4 feet.

Q. Do the banners have slits for wind?
b No, our banners are heavy and will hold up fine in regular to moderate winds. Using bungee cords instead of, or in addition to rope, will relieve some strain from heavier winds. Our production process does not allow us to individually cut the banners. Your always free to cut them yourself with an exacto or utility knife, but if hung properly and not exposed to gale force winds, it should not be necessary.

Q. How Do We Install The Banners?
A. Our banners come with attached grommets every 2 feet along their width so you can securely mount them to a variety of surfaces. You can either mount your banner directly to a wall using screws and washers, or you can run a rope through the grommets and attach your banner to two poles. If you are in an extremely windy area, be sure to secure the banner through all of the grommets. Banner And Sign Track Kit can be purchased separately. This Banner Trak eliminates sagging and keeps banners straight and true. Custom Banners.

Outdoor banners can be fastended against a building with screws and washers through the grommets. Against a chain link fence, fasten through the grommets with nylon ties or wire. To tie between posts or trees, thread stitched rope threaded through entire banner length so that you can tie up and install by pulling on the rope. Indoor banners in most cases are easy to install, as they are placed in locations where they are viewed close up. For permanent indoor digital print banners installations, wall mounting is a relatively simple process. You can wall mount their banners by use of woodscrews through washers and grommets. Temporary installations are very common for indoor banners and include tradeshows, sporting events, and career fairs. Hook and loop velcro fastener can be installed on your banner to make a simple and easy install. S-hooks are used to hang temporary banners from above, with preinstalled grommets. Additional temporary banner installation options include pole pockets with wood dowels or PVC rods.

It is preferable to receive vector images such as Adobe Illustrator (.ai), Corel Draw (.cdr), and Illustrator (.eps) files. We will accept other formats like BMP, JPG, GIF, EMF, and WMF. Graphic artwork can come into one of two formats: vector or raster (bit map).

Vector-based images are mainly used for spot-color separations such as typefaces, solid-colored graphics and clip-art images. Vector art images identify the math coordinates (or vectors) between point A and point B and the image is made up of connected lines.

Raster-based images are designed for high-end, photorealistic work. These images are used for digital printing and process color printing. These images consist of small pixels (or dots) of color that are connected and can be used to tweak, enhance and lighten photos. Bitmap images are created by scanning artwork or digital photographs, or by "painting" with a photo editing or paint program such as Corel PhotoPaint or Adobe PhotoShop.

Unlike vector images, the quality of a raster image is directly related to the image's resolution or number of pixels. Vector images, on the other hand, are created by mathematical equations, so pixels don't impact the quality of the image. As a result, they can be scaled up or down in size without loss of quality.

Image Size & Resolution

Be aware that images cannot be printed larger than they come to us. Best results are obtained from images that are high-resolution (150 dpi or greater) and larger than the area you request them to be printed into. Images taken from web sites are not high-resolution (generally 72 dpi) and cannot be reproduced well on a T-shirt.

Additional Information
Please don't create your art in a word processing program. Such a design usually winds up having to be recreated from scratch in the correct program. A program like Microsoft Word comes with a good selection of clip art, and allows you to create graphics, shapes and text effects in many colors, but it is difficult (and often times impossible) to print color separations from word processing programs. Also please don't change the format of your design just to make it easier to email.
