We are not your typical screen printer just trying to make a buck – not that there’s anything wrong with bucks. Rather, we want to create works of art that you will be damn proud of. Attention to detail goes into every piece that leaves our shop and if it isn’t up to our standards, we replace it and you never see it. We strive for perfection with every print stroke.
Surprisingly (or not!), we get this question a lot. Each job is unique and has different variables that would make a price list impossibly confusing. We price each project individually. The best way answer a pricing question is to provide us the parameters of your project, such as:
Our typical turnaround time is 7-10 business days from payment and project approval. Turnaround does not include shipping time. Please place order in advance to accommodate ship time to meet your deadline.
Yes, but please give us a heads-up. Provide us with a list of styles, colors, sizes and quantities being delivered so we can double check your order. PICO is not responsible for any discrepancies in ordered and delivered product. Additionally, PICO is not responsible for replacing any damaged or misprinted pieces.
Yes, but please remove all hang tags, stickers and/or packaging. PICO is not responsible for replacing any damaged or misprinted pieces.
Water-based ink is the most eco-friendly process available. Using a combination of water, translucent base and pigment creates the softest possible print. Ideal when superior softness is desired on light colored garments.
Discharge is not an ink but a chemical reaction. Instead of layering ink on the surface of a garment, like plastisol, it actually forms a reaction that removes the dye out of cotton. The result of this process is a natural/off-white/bleached-out look. Some colors and fabrics respond better than others. You get a more solid result on 100% cotton and unique, less predictable results on blended tees. Some color variation in final product should be expected. Washing is recommended before wearing.
Pigment discharge is the same process as natural discharge with colored pigment included to re-dye cotton. This process is an alternative to plastisol when bright colors and a soft feel are desired. This process only reacts with the dyes in cotton, though it can be combined with cotton/poly or tri-blends for unique results. Some color variation in final product should be expected. Washing is recommended before wearing.
Foil is the best way to give your garment an eye-catching shine. Though this process creates the ultimate shine, it will fade with every wash. Foil can be combined with water based prints with awesome results. Foil comes in red, blue, green, purple, black, silver, gold & bronze.
This is an exciting ink that allows for your design, or parts of your design, to be seen in the dark. This ink works best when printed over white or light colors. It has a slight green hue to the final print.
Suede and puff are plastisol ink additives that rise from the print surface. Suede raises less than puff and has a suede-like texture. It is best to use these inks on images with low detail as they have a tendency to expand beyond the print edge.
Tag printing is relabeling the garment. We print your own info on the inside back neck of the garment. Some fabrics and colors will hide the inside print better than others. That being said, we suggest printing in colors that will not show through to the back of the tee. Some tees come with tear-away tags that we can remove free of charge. Others require our expert hand to make you look super legit. **Tag requirements** Fabric make-up (100% cotton, etc.), country of origin, and full legal company name or RN number.
We prefer scalable vector files such as .ai, .eps or editable .pdf. A vector image uses points and angles to keep your image as crisp as possible at any size or magnification. With these files, all we need to know is the colors and size of the print. Any fonts used in the file must be converted to outline. Furthermore, we print in spot color (solid layers of color) so gradients can only be simulated with halftones.
If you prefer to set your artwork up as a raster image, we have some requirements. The document must be created at 300dpi at the exact size of print (i.e. 12″ x 15″). It is very important your resolution is 300dpi to prevent any blurriness in the image. Web images are commonly 72dpi and though fine for the screen, they do not translate to print files. Also, do not apply any layer effects to your artwork as they will not translate to print. Please put each color on its own layer as we print in spot color and need them to be separated.
If your file is over 5mb in size please use http://www.yousendit.com/ to upload your larger file to a secure location. If your file is under 5mb please feel free to email us here: contact@princeink.com. Be sure to include your name and project information.
