What Makes a Great T-shirt?
Choosing the right blank is the first step. The quality of the blank sets the tone for your project. We use all major brands including premium and unique brands to print our custom T-Shirts. We will help you find just the right shirt for your project.
Some of our more popular brands include:
Artwork
Once the blank is selected, we focus on the best way to capture your original artwork. Many of our clients have unique and complex prints they want printed onto T-shirts and we literally pioneered many of the techniques used to create high quality prints.
Whether your image is a full-color painting or a graphic design, we can print it. Preferred artwork is Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. But if you have something else, let us know.
Print Placement
One of the reasons clients like to work with Gouda is we will help you create the final layout of your design for any unique print positions on the shirts. We print front, back and sleeves of course, but can also print onto the sides and up into the collar area of shirts depending on the design. We will work with your design team to confirm the best way to finalize the print position of your artwork to create just the right effect.
Print Methods
For most of our T-shirts we use silkscreen printing. With silkscreen printing, each color of your design is translated into a unique screen. So, if your design has 5 colors, we will need to make 5 screens to capture your colors. We also use halftones and CMYK printing to reproduce complex designs. We start every project with your artwork to confirm the best way to print your T-shirts.
There are cases where transfer printing or full-color sublimation is a better solution. You can see more about our all over printed sublimation shirts by following the link here: All Over Printed T-Shirts
T-Shirt Colors
We print on all the T-shirt colors available in the market. So, if you have a complex design you want printed on black T-shirts that is no problem. We may use additional screens or flashes to get these effects, but our team of designers and artists is adept at translating original artwork for a great quality print on any color of the rainbow. We also print sweatshirts in all available stocked colors.
Color Matching
We recommend Pantone® color specifying for the most accurate results, but if you need us to match any colors in your artwork, we can do that too.
