FAQs About Apparel Printing: Answering Your Most Common Questions

At PMNYC, we get a lot of questions about apparel printing – and we love it! It shows that people are putting thought and care into their custom apparel projects. To help you navigate the world of custom printing, we've compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions:

Q: What printing methods do you offer?

A: We offer a range of printing methods to suit your needs, including screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG), and direct-to-film (DTF). Each method has its own advantages, and we're happy to help you choose the best option for your design, quantity, and budget.

Q: What types of apparel can I print on?

A: We can print on a wide variety of apparel, including t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, tank tops, tote bags, hats, and more! We work with high-quality garments from trusted brands to ensure your custom apparel looks and feels great.

Q: How many colors can I have in my design?

A: The number of colors affects pricing, especially for screen printing. DTG and DTF printing can handle unlimited colors and gradients. We'll work with you to optimize your design for the most cost-effective printing method.

Q: What file format do I need to provide for my design?

A: Vector files (like .ai, .eps, or .svg) are ideal for most printing methods, as they can be scaled without losing quality. We can also work with high-resolution raster files (like .png or .jpg), but it's important to ensure they're high enough resolution for printing.

Q: How long does it take to get my order printed?

A: Turnaround times vary depending on the complexity of the order, the printing method, and the quantity. We offer rush orders for those tight deadlines. Contact us with your project details for a more accurate estimate.

Q: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?

A: Yes! We highly recommend ordering a sample, especially for large orders, to ensure you're happy with the print quality, color accuracy, and garment fit before committing to a bulk order.
