          Accuracy of content

          We take every care to ensure that the description and specification of our products are correct at the time of publication.

          Print reproduction

          • Colour, size and placement of artwork on product - while the colour reproduction of the products is a close representation, we cannot accept any responsibility for any variation in colour caused by the browser software or computer system used by you. There will be colour variation between your RGB display and the CMYK product print. Colours on screen are made up from light, so neon and very bright colours in particular will not look like this when printed. Colours will typically look more muted on products. Due to the production process, colours, position, size and scale are indicative only - artwork on individual product prints may have slight size differences.
          • Bright art print on white products vs coloured product – they print differently. It’s because on the white products there is no underbase of white ink, so the ink can “sink” in to the fibres more so it will look more muted. The colours will always look brighter on a coloured products because of the underbase. We don’t print a white under print on white products as it washes out very quickly and leads to the whole print failing.
          • Large areas of white on darker coloured products. Large areas of printed white on darker-coloured items may have a slight tint of the product's colour to it, which is indicative of the printing method.
          • Will a DTG art print last longer on a white or coloured tshirt? There are so many variables involved that it’s hard to give a definitive answer. It depends on the design, the thickness of the tee, how it has been washed and dried, etc. However, we would expect the white tees to fade more quickly than on a coloured garment due to the amount of ink applied. But in saying that, we also have white tees that have outlasted coloured ones.
