Spot vs. 4 Color Process

Most logos are line art graphics and should be created in a vector based program such as Illustrator or Freehand. The Developer Workbench and New York Mets logos below are examples of line art graphics. These are printed using spot color inks.

Photographic images should be created in a pixel based program such as Photoshop or Painter. These images are printed using process color inks.

Because photographic images are much more complicated to reproduce, we have set a minimum quantity of 144 shirts per image for these types of graphics. Until we view your image we are unable to give you an exact estimate of costs. Send a low resolution version (72 dpi) of your image for us to quote.
