FAQ

What is sublimation printing and what are the limitations? My legging design is mostly solid black. Can you print that? What colour fabric do you print on? How does the print look after sewing? What colours of thread do you sew with? Who decides the thread colour? Are your seam allowances always exactly the same? I see small dust marks on my print. Is this normal? My design placement is not the same as in the mockup. Why is that? How small of text can I print? Will my colours print the same as I see on the screen? There’s a small shadow on my black text. Why is that? I placed 2 different orders of the same product and the colours are a bit different between the 2 orders. Why is that? I ordered a pair of yoga leggings printed mostly with black and there is a difference between the band colour and the legs colour. Why does this happen? Will by sublimation printed fabrics and clothing fade? Will sublimation printed products shrink? Can I provide my own fabrics for sublimation? Why is there a number inside my leggings? What is it for? How are scarves finished? Why does the stitching overlap on hems?

Very small text and print details

Very small text and print details

Our sublimation printing process is very good at reproducing details in your text along with small text. That being said, there is a limit to how small text can be and still be readable. Since our fabric surfaces are not smooth like paper, ink does not always fall onto the fabric in perfect alignment. We recommend not making text smaller than 3mm.

Below we see the text “Made in Canada” is too small. Beneath that, the word “DESIGN” is a good size and prints differently when it is black text on a white background, or white text on a black background.
