Will the printing fade on my shirts after a few washings?We print our apparel with the highest caliber inks to ensure that our clothes are produced at the highest quality. To extend the life of your shirts wash them in cold water and inside out. If garments are not maintained appropriately, the inks and dyes used on these shirts may be subject to premature aging and breakdown. 10. What if the garment I want is out of stock?Please contact a salesman before ordering a product to make sure that the item that you want is in stock. If it is out of stock our salesmen will be able to provide you with an estimated timeline of when we will be receiving your item. We use multiple suppliers and have alternative products to every item to help you get the product you want. 11. Do dark shirts cost more?Yes, dark garments are more expensive to buy from our suppliers and they require a white under-base to print on. 12. What is a white under-base?A white under-base is needed when printing any plastisol color on a dark color garment. The under-base is a thin coat of white ink that will be put underneath the color you requested so that the color will stay true and pop out on the shirt. If a under-base is not used the color that you requested might appear differently when printed on a dark garment. 13. Can I mix the type of garments within the same order?Yes, as long as the design is the same we can use different types of garments interchangeably. (Tank tops, T-shirts, Sweatshirts, etc.) Thanks, The Consuul Team |
