FILE PREPARATION
How Should I Send My Print File?
1. File Format
Files must be submitted in PDF, SVG, AI, CDR, or EPS format. These vector formats maintain the highest print quality.
Pixel-based formats such as JPEG and PNG are not accepted as they cause resolution loss.
2. Send Designs in Vector Format
Send your design in vector format. Convert text to outlines to prevent font corruption issues.
3. Color Settings
Create your design in CMYK color format from the start. RGB looks good on screen but causes color differences in print.
Each project is assigned a unique print code stored in our system. For repeat orders, simply reference this code - no need to resend drawings or samples.

Our tests with various chemicals have shown that our prints do not wear off. However, you can test the specific chemical your product contacts on our sample prints.
Will there be fading on products exposed to sunlight?

How is pricing determined?
We calculate our prices based on the area of the printed surface, the number of surfaces being processed, and the number of print layers applied.
Will switching from screen printing to UV printing increase our costs?
Setting aside the apparent cost, when you consider the time and labor spent having printing done at different locations, you will get more colorful, more vibrant, faster, and smoother printing results at a lower cost.
