Photo/Graphics Prints
What kind of paper is used for the prints?

Garments
What technology is used to print garments?
The printing method used on all our garments is called Direct to Garment (DTG), a digital printing process that uses water- based inks. Since this is a digital process, the print is very sharp and has a higher resolution, or DPI, than traditional printing methods such as screen printing.
Why does my shirt have a vinegar smell/marks/stains?
When unpacking a new shirt or hoodie with a direct-to-garment (DTG) print, you might notice a vinegar-like smell or an off-white or slightly brown residue. Don’t worry, that’s not unusual – it’s from a fixation agent, (sometimes known as pre-treatment) that is used for all DTG prints across the industry. It helps the ink bond with the fabric, without it, the ink would flake off the garment.
The solution is simply to wash the garment! Neither the residue nor the smell is permanent and both should go away after one wash. It is recommended to wash DTG printed garments inside out at 30ºC or cooler.
How should I wash my t-shirt?
You can wash the t-shirt in the washing machine max 30C or 86F and low tumble dry. Wash the garment inside out with similar colors.
Do not dry clean.
Can I iron my printed garments?
No, you shouldn’t. However, if you decide to do it, turn the garment inside out and never, ever iron directly on the printed design as it will get attached to the iron and will damage both the design and the garment.
Why does my shirt have extended garment threads and seam ends?
Why is the color of the t-shirt I have received different from the one I saw online?
Products, when printed, may vary from the content as displayed on-screen, such as due to how computers display colours.
Why did my shirts come in in different colors?
Color disparities can arise. As a result, the final appearance of your prints may be influenced by a multitude of distinct factors such as different printers, color profiles, settings, and processes. Our print suppliers want to be transparent and ensure your satisfaction, which is why we cannot promise absolute color precision of 100%.
Are all the printed design by Simona D’Auria?
Yes, all the graphics are artworks of Simona D’Auria.
