Guide to textile printing

This guide will help you better understand printing techniques. He will assist you in creating your personalized clothing.

PRINTING TECHNIQUES:

Wushuguan has selected two printing methods for creating your logos.

Screen Printing: This is a high quality, precise, fine marking with a light texture. This printing method is however reserved for lettering and logos made in vector files. Additionally, the number of colors is limited and gradients are not possible. Monochrome screen printing is a type of printing that is both qualitative and economical. Two-color screen printing is also very common. Screen printing ranging from 3 to 4 colors is only available by quote due to its higher cost.

DTF Printing: This is a marking that offers great creative freedom. It allows you to print your images without color limitations, with gradients. There is no need for a vector file (except for your fonts). Compared to screen printing, the fineness of visible details is slightly lower. On certain garments made from 100% synthetic fabric, it is also possible that the color rendering is a little dull.

Whether screen printing or DTF printing, washing clothes is recommended inside out, not above 40 degrees. Ironing should also be done inside out and up to 150 degrees.

The choice of printing technique will depend on the logo you have. If in doubt, our team can help you select the most suitable method.

PREPARE YOUR FILES:

File - Screen printing: Vectorize your file in finished format. Vectorize your fonts. Resize your logo to print size. Save your file in one of these 3 formats: .ai/.eps/.pdf. Use only one or two colors. Avoid details less than 0.2 mm. Orient your logo in the normal reading direction and not in mirror mode. Do not include hidden elements in sent files.

In screen printing, you can also have lettering printed by simply providing us with your text, font, size and desired color.

File - DTF Printing: Resize your logo to print size. Save your logo with a transparent background with contours of a minimum fineness of 2 mm (Important!). The recommended resolution is 300 dpi (a lower resolution would result in a degraded print). The color space must be CMYK (preferably in FOGRA27 profile). Save your file in one of these formats: .ai/.psd/.pdf/.jpg/.png. For greater clarity, vectorize your fonts and avoid details of less than 0.6 mm. Orient your logo in the normal reading direction and not in mirror mode. Do not include hidden elements in sent files.

If your file does not meet these prerequisites and must be modified before printing, we can offer you our services, within the limit of feasibility, for an amount of €19.90 to €49.90 depending on the quantity of work necessary.
