FAQ’S
WHAT IS GANG PRINTING? DO YOU ALLOW IT?
We allow gang sheets. Feel free to place as many images as you can within the 7×12, 10×12 or 13×14.5 image area. Feel free to place your images as close as you want. We do not cut your transfers, so please make sure you place them a comfortable distance apart for manual cutting.
There is no extra charge for printing ganged artwork.
WHAT IS YOUR MINIMUM ORDER FOR TRANSFERS?
24 sheets is always our minimum order. You must order at least 24 transfers with every piece of artwork you upload. (50 FOR THE 7X12 ONE COLOR)
CAN THE TOTAL PRINTS BE SPLIT BETWEEN DESIGNS?
Every design you order must have a minimum of 24 transfers ordered(50 for 7×12 one color).
IS PRICE DETERMINED BY CART QUANTITY?
The price breaks are determined by the number of transfers of the exact same design. Example: If you order 100 of one design and 100 of another you will receive the 100 pricing not the 200.
DO YOU HAVE A COLOR CHANGING FEE?
We do not have a color changing fee. If you need 50 transfers in white ink and 50 transfers in black ink you will receive the 50 price. Even if it is the same image.
WHAT COLOR SHOULD I USE?
You should use whatever color of ours your customer wants. We will not select a color for you. We have the PANTONE® numbers listed below each color so you can see the exact color of the ink by looking at your PANTONE® Color Formula Guide.
WILL YOU COLOR MATCH A PANTONE® COLOR?
If you have an order for 1000+ transfers and need a specific PANTONE® color please email us admin@semoi.biz We will make a special ink order for your specific PANTONE® color. If you have an order that is under 1000 transfers you will have to select one of the PANTONE® colors we have shown on our place order page. Please note your order will take longer to ship out if you have a specific PANTONE® color because we will have to order that ink for you. We will only meet our promised turnaround time for orders placed using one of our stock colors.
IS YOUR RED A DEEP RED OR A LIGHTER RED?
because colors are based on perception and opinion the only color answer you will get from us, is to reference a PANTONE® number, the number is located below the name of each color on our site. The PANTONE® numbers will eliminate all doubt and show you the exact ink color.
SOMETIMES MY WHITE INK IS REALLY BRIGHT AND SOMETIMES IT ISN’T...WHY?
The screen mesh size we use determines the amount of ink that is printed onto the transfer paper. If your artwork contains thinner lines and smaller detail we have to use a different mesh size to ensure your image will wash out of our screens properly. When we use a different mesh size to allow for the tiny detail and small lettering, less ink is placed onto the transfer. Thicker lines and larger fonts allow maximum ink coverage that is needed with our high coverage inks for dark garments. Try to encourage your artist to use thicker lines and larger fonts so we can apply more ink to your transfer.
Sometimes it could be that your heat press is too hot. Feel your transfer. If you have a thick amount of ink on the transfer but your transfers still are not bright on dark garments you need to lower your temperature or seconds.
WHAT IS A STANDARD SIZE AND WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
This is something that needs to be decided by you or your customer. In all honesty there is not a “standard” size. This is a custom based business so standard is what you choose.
DO YOU MIX COLORS?
No we don’t. We have a color chart online that shows all the colors with the PANTONE® numbers provided. Please choose from one of the colors we have. If you have a larger order 1000+ transfers please email us and we will be happy to order your specific color.
WILL YOU EXCEPT FILES TYPES NOT LISTED ON THE PLACE ORDER PAGE?
No we must have vectorized artwork to complete your order. A photograph file will not allow us to print out each individual color separation for the screen printing process. Please read our artwork guidelines section and follow our guidelines to ensure you receive a quality print.
I’M PRINTING ON A (INSERT COLOR HERE) T-SHIRT, THAT COLOR IS IN MY DESIGN. DO I NEED TO ORDER THAT INK OR CAN I USE THE T-SHIRT COLOR?
We will only screen print the colors you select online. If you want to use the garment as a color in your design you can. We do have customers that will go ahead and purchase the ink in case their customers want them to print on light and dark garments. Sometimes it is cheaper to purchase the extra color than it is to order a second set of transfers. The decision is yours.
DO I HAVE TO PLACE MY ORDER ONLINE?
Yes. ALL orders for transfers must be placed online. Feel free to call in and email questions, but ultimately for organization sake all orders must be placed online.

HOW LONG WILL MY TRANSFERS LAST ON THE GARMENT?
If your transfer is pressed properly it will stay on the garment for many washes. We do not know the exact number of times you can wash a shirt and it still look brand new. We offer a free sample pack and if you want to test our product please do so. We recommend to you or your customers to wash and dry garments inside out and on a low temperature setting. To really further the life of the print on the garment, hang drying or no heat tumble drying are the best options.
