One of the strengths of the process we use at ChoiceShirts is our ability to print on dark garments. This process did not happen overnight, and while the successful effects we produce are the effort of many months of testing and trial runs, it’s one of the things that we’re confident sets us apart and we continue to test and maintain the highest level of quality we can.

Certain shirt styles, brands, and colors react differently to the ink and spray treatments we use than others. This makes our process extremely challenging (though our print technicians call it “fun”). Every shirt style that we offer has gone through the rigorous testing to make sure that it doesn’t harm our production workflow, and that we’re able to ensure that the customer receives a shirt that looks and wears as they expected.

Even with all of this testing, we need to stay on top of our game: today, we were printing a large order on black tank tops. We noticed that one of the sizes of this particular style reacted poorly to the spray treatment, and we had to sidestep our production process to go through some testing, rather than consume a good deal of time and product creating sub-standard shirts for the order.

Printing shirts, like any other process, has the potential to throw unexpected difficulties into your production. The key to these curveballs is to minimize their affect your production, and instead, use them to improve your final product. A “mistake” still has value so long as there’s a lesson to be learned.
