You will be able to see your created layers on the right side of the screen. Here you can adjust the size and location of the layer by pulling the corners of your image. As you proceed across the design tab, you will see “add words”, “add text”, it is here that you will add words or names and numbers.

PRODUCTS

Sizing: Sizing will vary from product to product. We cannot be responsible for the purchase of incorrect sizes. Please contact us for sizing or a sample if you are concerned about how a particular item fits.

Embroidery: Many people want their product embroidered instead of screen printed. This is not a problem! Our pricing is based on the number of stitches in an item. Please contact us for an exact quote.

Inks: Standard inks are not all that we can offer. We have quite a few specialty inks as well. If your design requires a particular pantone color, include that information in the NOTES section of your design. You are more than welcome to also contact us regarding this as well. We have absolutely no problem matching ANY pantone color at no additional charge!

Other inks that we offer: Please call for a quote.

Puff ink: "puffs up" when the ink is cured. It adds a three dimensional effect to your item.

Shimmer ink: Sparkles for a metallic look.

Glitter ink: Contains large flakes of shiny mylar that give a reflective, sparkly appearance.

Fluorescent ink: Just what it says, it is fluorescent!

Suede or leather effect: This is great on sweatshirts for a leather or suede patch look.

Glow in the dark: This is a great effect for additional drama to any item.
