Spot Color vs. 4-Color Process

Most logos are line art graphics and should be created in a vector based program such as Illustrator or Freehand. The American Diabetes Association and J & M Deco & Paint logos at left are examples of line art graphics. These are printed using spot color inks.

Photographic images should be created in a pixel based program such as PhotoShop or Painter. These images are printed using process color inks.  Because photographic images are much more complicated to reproduce, we have set a minimum quantity of 144 shirts per image for these types of graphics.
