What's the Difference Between Artwork Review/Preflight and Art Services?

When placing your order, you must choose an Artwork Review/Preflight Review type, Standard Review or Print As Is. This lets our team know exactly how you'd like us to handle your artwork.

Standard Review

Choosing Standard Review means our pre-production team will perform a 15-point check on your design to ensure it’s ready to print. What we check for depends on the formula type ordered.

These checks include, but are not limited to:

1. Positive line weight (the areas of the artwork you intend to print)
2. Negative line weight  (the areas between the ink where you will see the garment)
3. Artwork resolution and quality 
4. Flattened artwork (when there's a background visible in the artwork)
5. Transparencies in the artwork (the areas meant to print are not 100% opaque or have feathered edges)
6. Unclear printing area that prevents us from preparing your artwork
7. Copyrighted or Trademarked materials 
8. Corrupt/damaged files we're unable to open or unaccepted file types such as .PPT, .DOC, .CDR, etc.

1. Size of your artwork: We will print your design at the size submitted
2. Any spelling errors, grammatical errors, or other 'issues' with the artwork
   1. Our customers are incredibly creative and we see thousands of files a day. To ensure your order is not delayed, we don't judge artwork if there's something that could be determined as not intended to print - we will print as submitted.
3. Color values for Full Color or DTF orders: We will print the CMYK values in your file 

If there are any questions or concerns, our Support team will send a detailed email with options for getting your artwork adjusted and back on track. 

Print As Is

Choosing Print As Is means you're opting to bypass the 15-point check except for:

1. Copyrighted or Trademarked materials 
2. Corrupt/damaged files we're unable to open or unaccepted file types such as .PPT, .DOC, .CDR, etc.
3. Artwork that is oversized for the sheet size ordered
4. Unclear printing areas that prevents us from preparing your artwork
5. Any other reason that is listed in our Terms of Service

When you select Print As Is, you're letting us know that your artwork is ready to go and does not need our team to review before production. Even if your artwork falls below our recommended printing guidelines, you’re asking us to print the artwork exactly as submitted, understanding that the final print quality may be compromised.
