TURN AROUND TIME

Standard turnaround time for most orders is 10-14 Business Days from the time of deposit and approval of your proof. This does not include ship time. Some types of prints may take longer, such as Full Color Process and names and numbers. Please note we are not open on weekends or for national holidays and these days will add to the turnaround time of your order. We do our best to keep our turnaround time as quick as possible and average around 7 working days. However, if you NEED your garments by a certain deadline let us know upfront, prior to your order, and we can see if it’s possible. Please Note: Ordering multiple designs at one time, specialty inks and/or fulfillment services will add to our standard turnaround time.

​

ART GUIDELINES

At Image Designs, we strive to create custom, original artwork for each client, free of charge. However, some art may require an art fee depending on complexity, time requirement or excessive proofs. In such situations, an art fee will be assessed on a case by case basis. If you wish to submit your own artwork, art must be submitted at 300dpi resolution or higher. Vector files are preferred. Acceptable formats are EPS, CDR, AI, and PDF. You are welcome to send the design file as well as a PNG or JPEG Proof.

​

ART APPROVAL

For each order Image Designs will submit a proof for customer approval. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify that all of the information on the proof is correct. This includes checking for any spelling, grammar, or design errors in the design. If an error is found after your order has been approved and printed Image Designs will not be held liable for the cost associated with reprinting the order. We assume no liability for errors in designs approved by the customer.

​

COLOR MATCHING

All colors in a design will be matched to the closest in house stock ink color. Please note that colors in a proof are used for generalizations only and are not meant for exact color matching. Colors vary in appearance based on different screens, monitors, smart phones and tablets. For exact color matches please request Pantone Matched colors. Pantone color matches are available for an additional fee.

 

A STORY ABOUT the CANVAS.

A shirt has been in many forms before it reaches our shop. It starts as thread, which in itself has many variances of thickness, hand, and sheen. The thread is woven, which will greatly affect the weight, surface area, drape, stretch, and overall softness of the garment. These processes create a fabric that will move with you, form around your body, and stretch with your movement.

We reproduce artwork on this stretching, changing, bending, conforming canvas. The reality of this is that your prints may have some variance of placement up to 1/2”, or some very SLIGHT stretching of the design. This slight stretch of the art may be more apparent when printing large circles, large rectangles, or large perfect squares. It is nearly impossible to avoid, and it gets more impossible with large print areas.

As always, we do our very, very, best every day to make your shirts look awesome!

 

PRINT LOCATION & PRINT SIZE

It is the customer’s responsibility to provide details in regard to print placement and size. If no details are provided Image Designs will print in standard locations (ex: Chest Print, Print to start 2’’-3’’ inches below collar). The best way to gauge your print size is to lay a shirt (in the sizes you wish to have printed) flat and use a ruler to measure out the print area. Please keep in mind the scale of the print will vary on different sized garments and all items of an order will be printed with the same set of screens, unless a resize is ordered.

​

PRINT PLACEMENT VARIANCE

There is a human element involved in screen printing. As much as we try to automate there is still going to put someone constructing t-shirts by hand and loading them on the press by hand. Due to this we cannot be held liable for printing placements less than a 1/2 ” in variance. We do use a laser alignment system to guide our printers into where the image should be, however shifts in the image up to a 1/2″ are going to occur. We do our best to load the shirts for optimal placement in accordance to the proof.

 

MANUFACTURE OUT OF STOCKS

Due to the wide variety of brands, styles, colors, and sizes Image Designs does not stock blank garments. From time to time the manufacture may be out of stock on ordered items. Image Designs will not be held liable for delays due to manufacture out of stocks or discontinued items. In these cases, the customer will be notified immediately and provided with other options.

​

MANUFACTURE DEFECTS

We cannot be held responsible for garment inconsistencies related to size, shade or construction. We suggest ordering extra garments to account for such defects.

​

OVER & UNDER RUN

Image Designs will not be held responsible for spoilage due to inconsistencies in the print on up to 3% of the order total. In some cases extra garments will be included in an order. These are extras we supply in an attempt to keep spoilage percentages as low as possible. However, this can also mean a shortage of up to 3% on your order. Upon completion of your product all the garments are counted and if the order is short at all we credit back your account as soon as we send out the order. PLEASE NOTE: If you have an event or exact quantities are needed you will need to either account for this spoilage or let us know in advance that the order needs to be exact. This can add to production time.

​

OVER ZIPPER & SEAM PRINTS

Printing over zippers and seams will never produce a ‘perfect’ print. Returns and reprints will not be issued for these services.

​

ORDER CANCELLATION

In the event that an order is cancelled by a customer, the refund will be based on the status of the order. Depending order status the customer may have to pay a restocking fee or for the garments themselves. If the order is completed no refund will be issued.

​

CUSTOMER RELATIONS

We are fortunate to work with some really great customers and companies. But, every once in a while we will have a potential customer who is rude or inappropriate. We reserve the right to not accept your order if you are unpleasant to work with!

​
