Can I get printed samples?We do offer printed samples. However, the cost to print a small run of 3 or less shirts will be costly. It would be more cost effective to go with our minimums and take advanage of the price breaks. If the samples are that important, a minum qty may be a better test number to go with before getting a higher quantity.

Do you offer DTG printing?We are comitted to traditional screen printing at this time. The technology isn't quite there for a great DTG product in our determination. The inks used are getting better but tend to wash out quicker. There is also a pre-treatment spray required before DTG printing which leaves the garment a little stiff. Until these things improve, the best quality is still high-end auto presses, like our Roq Auto Press.
