WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE STARTING?
HOW MANY DO I WANT?
We can print 1 to 1000 or more if you like. If you’re in a rush and your order is small, we can print it within 24 – 48 hours ONLY if your design is print-ready and the items you want printed are in stock.
DO I HAVE A DESIGN COMPLETED OR WOULD I LIKE COYOTE'S HELP CREATING ONE?
If you have a design, great!
Send it to us at info@coyotetshirts.ca and we will let you know if it is ready for print.
If you don’t have a print-ready design, we have 2 options for you:
- Pick your own design from our stock design repository by following our step-by-step guide.
- Hire the services of our designers for a reasonable rate.
DO I WANT TO PRINT A PHOTOGRAPH?
We can print photos, but we will need to check the size and resolution of the photograph first to ensure that it will produce a t-shirt print you will be happy with. Please send it to us at info@coyotetshirts.ca and we’ll check it out for you!
Something to keep in mind: photographic prints look amazing on light coloured t-shirts, more than they do on dark t-shirts. Large photos printed on dark t-shirts may cost more due to the white ink underlay in the print. Please send us your photo and your t-shirt colour choice to find out!
HOW MANY COLOURS ARE IN MY DESIGN?
It doesn’t matter. Our Direct-to-Garment technology doesn’t use screens, it prints directly to the t-shirt in a fashion similar to how a desktop printer prints to paper. So, all of the ink colours are laid down simultaneously, creating a vibrant, multi-coloured print in one shot! The only limitations are that of the CMYK gamut, like some bright neon colours for example.
IS THIS FOR A TEAM? DO I WANT DIFFERENT NAMES AND/OR NUMBERS ON THE BACK?
Team shirts are a favourite around here. In the case of a team of 12 players, for example, the t-shirts can have the team logo printed on the front of the t-shirt and each player’s name and number on the back. The second print on each t-shirt will cost an extra $10/shirt but there is still no charge for the custom names and numbers. This option is also great for clubs, businesses, stags & stagettes.
CAN I BRING IN MY OWN T-SHIRTS OR HOODIES?
We prefer to print on our own garments because we have tested them extensively and know how they will react with our process.
The risk in bringing your own garments is that we don’t know if there is a treatment in the fabric that will react differently with our process, or if there is polyester content in the fabric, until we have printed one. We have experienced t-shirts that say they are 100% cotton that are actually polyester. We require 60 – 100% cotton content for our ink to bond with the fibres effectively. We don’t replace garments that are brought in to us, so, if you choose this option, we ask that you bring in an extra (one for each different type of garment you want printed) and you accept full responsibility for any damages to the garment that may occur.
DO I WANT GARMENTS OTHER THAN T-SHIRTS?
We have hoodies, tank tops, polos, long sleeve tees, sweatshirts and even aprons! Keep in mind that we use a t-shirt printer, which means the garment must fit on the printer like a t-shirt. Pants, shorts, underwear, or hats are not going to fit on our printer. We also need a fabric content of at least 60% cotton for our ink to bond well with the fibres. So anything with high polyester content will not work with our printer (i.e. dry-fit, sports jerseys, etc).
