———————— Q: Will my shirt look exactly like the digital proof? A: Your finished garment will closely match the approved proof; however, slight differences are normal with custom printing. ———————— Color Accuracy Colors may appear slightly different on fabric than on digital screens due to differences in monitor calibration and ink absorption. ———————— Placement Tolerance Because every garment is individually aligned and heat pressed, print placement may vary by up to ½ inch. ———————— Fabric Compatibility Our DTF prints perform best on 100% cotton and high-cotton blends. Print appearance and feel may vary on polyester or specialty fabrics. ———————— **Custom Artwork & Set
