PRODUCT

Increasing identity for your business, sports team, club or organization can easily be accomplished with embroidery and ink dye printing.  Please shop here for your blank professional wear and causal wear  or visit External Links for more blank suppliers.  If you do not see what your looking for, please contact us, our resources are unlimited.

Embroidery can be done on shirts, jackets, pants, totes, hats, aprons, basically anything we can hoop and get a needle through. 

Ink dye printing works best on 100% cotton, 90/10, 80/20 and 70/30. Items to be printed must be flat.

We realize you may have a specific item you want embellished. Carry in items are at owners risk. We take preventative steps to do the job correct; however we are working with machines and they sometimes do malfunction.

INK DYE PRINTING

Printing directly in the fibers has been available for 5 years. Our process is done with a MS1 printer, with a 6 foot conveyor belt. The number of colors does not effect what we print. The brighter the lighting when the picture is taken allows for a clearer print. The higher the dpi the less you will see the pixels. We can print as small as you want or up to 14 inches wide by 16 inches high.

The ink we use is 70% water based, the other 30% is sublimation ink. Fabric with a percent of polyester will retain the ink longer. The finishing process is to add heat to the garment, allowing the polyester molecules to open, the inkl drops in and then the molecule closes when cooled.

We have stock photos of dragon, fairy, unicorn, flower arrangement and sport figures. You can email to us a picture to print. We do not reprint anything copy protected and we do research to ensure we are not in violation. If the picture is work related, please have them email permission to reprint.

Imagine a country scene with the barn and field of corn, running into the scene are two embroidered horses in the colors of your horses. Please email your picture of the scene and your horses, we will print your scene and  do our best to match the horses.

 Shirt Coloring Guidelines

- Prang crayons have more pigment and color retention than regular crayons. Non-toxic.

- The darker you color; the more pigment goes into the shirt.

- DO NOT fold shirt before heat setting.

- DO NOT wash the colored shirt before heat setting, the crayon will wash out.

- Let the shirt set overnight before heat treating.

-To set pigment into the fabric, cover picture with paper towel, press straight down with hot dry iron. Press again with clean paper towel.

*Recolor if you desire. Repress.

LETTERING FONTS FOR EMBROIDERY

There are so many font possibilities. We could not begin to show them. 

This board was created for our customers. Offering
a realistic idea of the fonts.  I sewed together different
fabric types then embroidered fonts in various 
thread colors. 


Most fonts you have in your word processing list can be
turned into stitches.  Contact us with three of your 
choices and what fabric type.


Some fonts work better for business logos and names, 
such as  narrow aerial, block, and New Times Roman.


Fun or fancy fonts are great for monogramming on 
towels, bibs or aprons.
