CMYK, four color process, (photo realistic, fine art, abstract artwork). CMYK is for light color garments only and cannot be used with our plastisol heat transfers. We print these directly onto your garment of choice. We can print CMYK onto a dark garment but the Image will appear dull and not as vibrant as a light garment (Keep in mind, some business choose to print on dark garments for this reason). We suggest simulated printing for darker colors.

CMYK Pricing: $50 dollars per hour (60 minutes minimal charge)

Spot White Ink

All areas in the art that are to be printed in white ink, must be shown in the artwork by using a false/spot white that looks different then the background. If the background of the image is white and you want the image to have white ink, you must use this false/spot white so we know that you need white ink and are not just printing on a white t-shirt or garment.

Make sure to label the Spot/false white in your layers
Change the color of the white to a different color that is not in your design (Light Blue, light pink, light yellow ect.) where we can identify where the white Ink will go.
Inform the sales representative that you require white ink in your design
Make a note in your design, email, or file stating that the spot color you have chosen ((Light Blue, light pink, light yellow ect.) is to be printed in white. For Example: please print all colors in light blue in white ink.

Simulated printing

Designs using halftones for Dark garments (Using a half toned white underbase). Simulated printing is not currently available for custom heat transfers. We do offer simulated printing when directly screen printing a garment.

Pricing: will vary on the complexity of your design.

Four Color Process Files

Four Color Process files must be sent in high resolution (300 DPI or higher) your file needs to be color separated and will be reviewed by a color separate specialist. Currently the four color process is not available for custom plastisol heat transfers. We do offer four color process when directly screen printing a garment.

Spot Color Inks

please see our custom in stock ink color chart and most popular inks: colors in stock

Need a different or custom color that we do not have available? We recommend that you select a color from the Solid Coated Pantone formula guide here (Panton Colors). We can mix any of the PMS colors that you select from that list. Once you have found and selected the PMS color of your choice, please indicated each color chosen by using the corresponding pantone number

PMS Color Matching

We can match the PMS number you had supplied with our in-house matching by hand for $30.00. As stated above this is matching by hand and is matched as close as possible.

If you require an exact PMS matching, It will need to be done by our ink manufacturer for $75.00 per match.

Underbase Layer

Many inks are not opaque enough for the ink to be place onto dark garments, causing dye migration or bleeding (The color of the shirt bleeds into the design, causing it to be darker and then intended) If printing onto dark garments, a white underbase is recommended to ensure your designs pops and looks as intended. Having a white underbase helps keep the design achieve a higher level of brilliance and opacity (Thickness/fullness). Most designs that are being printed onto a dark garment should have a underbase, unless a blending or color tone look is desired. The heat transfers underbase will not be as opaque as garments being directly screen printed on top of a flash cured white underbase.

Because each under base is unique to itself, we cannot accept artwork requiring an underbase as print ready. Therefor there is an art charge of $20.00 per design requiring a white underbase.

Line Weights

Line weights refers to the thickness of a line or stroke (Any area of ink) and the thickness of space between two lines or any area of ink to allow the garment color to show between the ink areas. We are not responsible for any lines that do not transfer onto the heat transfer/garment as a result of thin lines.

Line weights for inks to be used on white or light garments

All lines, strokes and open areas between lines to allow the shirt to show though must be at a minimum of 2 Pts in visible width. See line weights

Line weights for inks to be used on black or dark garments

All lines, strokes and open areas between lines to allow the shirt to show though must be at a minimum of 3 Pts in visible width.

Halftone Dots

If you are using gradient or fades in your spot colors, the image will be converted into multiple dots. Halftones help create the illusion and depth within your design. Though halftones are not recommended for plastisol heat transfers, they can be used, but larger halftones dots should be used. We are not responsible for any lines/halftone dots that do not transfer onto the heat transfer/garment as a result of thin or tiny dots.

See example: Gradient for a view of halftones through gradients.

Shades or tones above 50% or below 10% can be problematic when printing or during application/pressing

You cannot place 100% of one color over 100% of another color to create a third (3^rd) color. You can place a shade/tone or fading halftones onto another color to create the illusion of a third (3^rd) color.

See example: White into black gradient

Test all transfers before you begin production

There are multiple manufacturers causing each and every heat press is going to vary in pressure and heat. We recommend you order extra custom heat transfers to test your machine to dial in you pressure and heat temperature.

If you apply a transfer and it does not print properly, Stop and adjust your press. Test your press with the same (already printed) garment using various pressure and heat temperature until the problem is resolved. Don’t waste new garments for testing!

Solutions to problems when pressing

Check your temperature

The temperature of your heat press will fluctuate once you begin pressing, as the heat press metal platen will transfer heat to each garment you print. It is highly recommended to continue to check and monitor the heat of your heat press during a production run, and allow the heat to rejuvenate if the heat begins to drop. Usually there is a temperature gauge on your heat press but it is still important to check the temperature of your heat platen manually. An accurate way to manually check your heat platen is by using a digital pyrometer. When checking your heat platen check for the following:

The temperature results matches the heat press gage temperature.
Even temperature through the entire heating platen
Check for “Cold Spots” – sections or spots in the heat platen that is not being heated.
Edges and outsides – check the edges of the heat platen to see if your desired heat reaches the edges of the Platen.

Check your pressure

Make sure you have medium to heavy pressure when using heat transfers.
