Suggestions:

Colors: Please keep in mind that screen printing is not standard printing. T-shirts that are over colored might not come out the way you intended on a shirt. Though, this is a full color t-shirt, it does not mean to use every color in the rainbow, or to over shade objects. In the t-shirt world, try to keep the color simple.



Be creative, we want to see what you can do!
