Show Your Logo, Inc. has an in-house graphics department which will clean up or recreate your artwork for FREE. More complex projects may not be eligible, but 99% of the artwork we imprint is created or recreated by our staff. If you can send us your artwork in a file simply decent enough for us to see, we will redraw it in Adobe Illustrator or clean it up in Adobe Photoshop so that it will print as cleanly as possible. This saves our clients time and money and provides you with the highest quality imprint possible. We have found that it is better to provide our clients with this exceptional service for FREE so that our clients ALWAYS get the best quality imprint. Once redrawn, the artwork can be imprinted on any item and can be resized without losing quality.
Setup charges are for creating new screens, tapes, dies, etc. Each product and/or imprinting method requires a different setup process. Setup charges may vary by process. Setup charges are for setting up the printing equipment performing the imprinting. There are somewhat complex tasks, equipment, and materials utilized set up each type of imprinting equipment. Once your art, dies, screens, tapes, films, etc. are made. We can imprint or embroider from them in the future without incurring these types of charges again. Setup charges vary depending on the imprintinting method, complexity of the art, and number of colors being imprinted. Call us for details. Freight charges are additional. No returns accepted on imprinted products.
Screen printing is a method by which the items are printed on with ink. Setup charges include making a screen (stencil) for each color, art sizing and positioning, mixing inks, and setting up and breaking down the equipment. Embroidery is a method by which the items are stitched with colored thread to create type or images. Setup charges may include digitizing the art (making a tape), and art creation. Usually there is no charge for additional colors up to 7. Embroidery pricing is determined by the number of stitches, in thousands, required to produce the stitchout.
