Colours and Lengths
- Please note the colours on printed fabrics are likely to look different on screen then printed on fabric. It's due to various monitor settings. Colours may also differ on different fabric bases. Colours of each batch of printed fabric may differ slightly.
- Natural fabric bases for example Woven Cotton, Single Jersey, French Terry, Drill, Double Gauze are printed using Pigment Inks. This is most eco-friendly way of printing on textiles however it produces less saturated colours than other printing methods. Colours on these fabric will appear less saturated in comparison with reactive inks or sublimation inks.
- Organic Single Jersey - it has slightly brushes texture and the colours will appear less vivid than other natural fabric bases.
- All polyester fabric bases are printed with Sublimation Inks - the colours will appear vibrant and saturated. There is usually considerable difference in colours between Pigment printed fabrics and Sublimation printed fabrics.
- There may be 2-3 cm discrepancy between the length you ordered and printed fabrics. We strive for the fabric to be at least the length you order but on occasions the fabric may be 2-3cm short. This is due to the varying shrinkage between the batches.
- The fabric base we print on may be subject to change.
