When designing your artwork you should take a few things into consideration to achieve the best printing results as possible.

What are you designing for?

1. Preparing your artwork for printing on clothing using spot colors:
   • You should prepare it in Adobe Illustrator or any other vector based program.

2. Preparing your artwork for printing on clothing using full color process printing:
   • You should prepare the artwork using Adobe Photoshop and the artwork should be created at 300 dpi. The artwork should be sized to how you want it to look on the shirt.

3. Preparing artwork for Banners and other Signage:
   • When creating creating artwork for signs it is best to use vector format (Adobe Illustrator), but Adobe Photoshop can be used as long as the artwork is created at 300 dpi and it must be created to the size that your signage will be printed at.

Screen Printing is a process of printing ink through a stencil that is burned in a screen. Each color that is in your artwork will have it's own screen and is printed onto product in layers.

Digital Garment Printing is a new high end technology which prints directly onto a shirt from a printer similar to the one you would use to print onto paper but in a much larger scale. This method currently will only print onto 100% cotton materials.

You can always count on DFC Screen Printing to fix the following:

• Spelling - We always thoroughly spell check and double proof your text. If we spot a name that we think is spelled incorrectly then we will contact you about that as well.

• Uploaded Images - If we see a issue with a design you have uploaded and we don't think it will print well then one of our art specialist will contact you to go over these issues. They can recreate your artwork so everything will have a high quality outcome.

• Contrast issues - Sometimes a shirt color or your design will look different on a computer screen than it does in person. If we think that the ink colors will not stand out enough on the shirt we will consult with you to find out an alternative color that will look better.

• Alignment of your design - Don't worry if you didn't get your design perfectly centered on your shirt in the Live Designer. We will always center your design if it looks like you were trying to do so. If it doesn't, we'll double check with you to make sure everything turns out the way you want it.

Preparing for Installation

The window must be thoroughly cleaned before the rear window graphic is applied. Clean the glass using soapy water, and then thoroughly rinse the window. Be sure that the window is completely free from any remaining soap residue.

DO NOT USE ANY CHEMICAL BASED WINDOW CLEANERS AS THIS MAY REACT NEGATIVELY WITH THE ADHESIVE.

Applying the Vinyl

The first step to successful applications is before removing backing material, unroll the graphic and select the position on the window that is desired. You can tack down the vinyl in the center of the window with masking tape, to temporarily hold the graphic in the desired position.

Once desired placement is selected, position 1 person on either side of the window and carefully begin removing the backing material starting from the top and working your way to the bottom. You should use a squeegee and wrap a rag around the squeegee to prevent scratching the graphic. Now, start a squeegee action in the middle of the image and squeegee from one side to the other, continuing the process from the top of the decal down using overlapping strokes and removing the liner as you go. Be careful not to press to hard as you will damage the material. WARNING: DO NOT STRETCH THE MATERIAL. THIS WILL CAUSE THE PRODUCT TO CURL AND LIFT FROM THE WINDOW AFTER IT IS INSTALLED.

If air bubbles form during this process, gently lift the material and reapply while smoothing the bubble area.
Once graphic is completely flat against the window and all wrinkles and air bubbles are removed, start from the center of the glass and gently rub the entire area with a squeegee or soft, clean, lint-free towel to secure the adhesive to the glass.

Carefully trim with the razor blade the excess material around the perimeter of the window trim. WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN TRIMMING TO AVOID INJURY AND TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. Discard excess material.

WARNING
Do NOT use an ice scrapper on the rear window or risk of damage to the film may occur. This product was to be applied to the OUTSIDE of the rear window only. This product requires trimming with a sharp razor blade.

Use extreme caution when using any sharp objects as they can cause severe injury. Take extreme care not to damage any surrounding area of the vehicle when trimming the excess. Excessive heat and/or cold temperature exposure will reduce the life of the adhesive. Glass can be easily scratched. Use extreme caution when using the razor blade on the glass surface. This product is to be applied on the rear window ONLY. This product is not to be applied to any other window of the vehicle as it may significantly obstruct visibility and create a significant safety hazard. Do NOT operate windshield wipers on glass with the window graphics installed. This could damage both the window graphic as well as the wiper. Installing this product may reduce or impair visibility.

This product is to be applied to the OUTSIDE of the rear window ONLY. This product is not to be applied to any other window of the vehicle as it may obstruct visibility and create a safety hazard.

White shirts are always going to be your lowest cost option. You can get a very affordable shirt if it is a white shirt with a one color imprint on it. The brand/style of shirt is always a factor as well, a Gildan Heavyweight Tee or Ultra Cotton tee would be a popular low budget tee to consider.

One of the top ways to save money when ordering stickers is to order them by the roll. Don't worry you can still have your stickers cut into different shapes if you want to save money and have them printed this way. We would print your stickers on to about 3' - 4' sheets of vinyl and send them to you in rolls.

This is a very affordable way to print stickers! Please contact us at 1-800-251-9592 if you would like more information.
