Returns
Q: Can I return my T-shirt if I'm unhappy?
A: We strive to sell only the very best of products on t-shirtprinter.com, however, if you are at all dissatisfied with the product you have received, you can return the product to the address provided within 14 days. Your item can either be exchanged for an alternative
size or design, or we can refund your money. Refunds will only be offered if the garment or print is
faulty. We reserve the right to refuse returns if there is clear evidence
the item has been washed incorrectly, subjected to excessive wear and
tear or damaged deliberately. Unfortunately personalised designs cannot
be exchanged unless the item is faulty, or has spelling differences from the design as approved by you.
Items exchanged will incur a small cost to cover postage.
Washing
Q: What kind of washing guidelines do the T-shirts have?
A: For best results follow the washing guidelines given on the garment, and avoid ironing the design directly.
Custom print service
Q: What Print methods do you use?
A: For smaller quantities we use a combination of manual carousel and
American Auto printer. For larger quantities we use an MHM carousel
printing set-up. We also have a heat transfer system available for the
application of names, numbers and certain designs.
Q: What print positions can you achieve?
A: Designs can be positioned almost anywhere on the t-shirt. Front, back,
sleeves, top corner, bottom corner and either breast pockets.
...Providing the print doesn't come within 2cm of a seam!

A: We can mix colours specifically to your requirements and work within a
pantone ‘coated’ environment. We have a range of speciality inks at our
disposal too (ie: glitter, metallic, flock, etc).
Q: What are your set up costs?
A: Screen production is charged at £20 per colour. Existing designs
re-printed do not incur these charges again. Typically, orders placed
within 6 months of the original print run still have the original screens available.
Afterwards, however a reset charge of £5 per colour will be applied.
Q: What is your maximum print size?
A: This depends on your design. Text and solid colours can be printed at
any size up to 530mm x 430mm. Generally, at quoting stage, we will ask if

will be required prior to supply (see below).

Q: Can you test print onto my fabric?
A: Yes. We can do this free of charge by using an existing design we
currently have set up.
Q: What are your minimum orders?
A: Theoretically there are no minimum orders. The size of the order DOES
determine the method of printing. Naturally, the individual cost of the
each print reduces as quantity increases.
