Will You Save My Screens?
We do not save your screens. At the end of each week we reclaim all of our used screens to begin printing the next jobs for the following week. We go through a lot of screens per week and therefore need to reclaim and reuse our screens very frequently. Because of this, we do not hold screens on file for potential future use.
A Word About Artwork
To ensure that we provide you with screen prints to the highest standard, we need to ensure we have the correct files before the job can begin. It is important to ensure the artwork you are supplying is either the size it is going to be printed or larger, otherwise if we have to enlarge a smaller file, detail can be lost. See below the file types that we accept when setting up your job to be screen printed.
VECTOR FILES
Vector files are our most preferred type of file when setting up a screen print job. The reason for this is the file can easily be made larger or smaller without compromising the quality of the artwork. It is important that you or your designer doesn't just save other images or designs like JPEG's in a vector file, it's important that the design and any text in the design has been expanded to outlines.
- Adobe Illustrator Files (.ai)
- Vector files that are saved as .pdf or .eps (ensure all artwork and text has been expanded to outlines)
RASTER ARTWORK
Raster artwork is artwork that has usually been created or scanned into Photoshop and does not have outlines like a vector file. The file size is very important when creating your artwork in Photoshop to ensure it is larger than the print and is a minimum of 300dpi.
- Saved as a Photoshop file (.psd)
- Must be the same size as you plan it to be printed or larger
- All raster images must have a resolution of 300dpi or more
- Fonts need to be rasterised or sent to our team
- All raster must be in the original colour space. We suggest full colour graphics in RGB, if your file has been submitted in CMYK please do not convert to RGB as some colour data maybe be lost.
UNACCEPTED FILES / NEED REWORKING
We cannot accept the below files because they do not have enough information saved within them to screen print from:
- JPEG
- PNG
- Microsoft Word Doc
We have an expert in-house design team that can help create your artwork from scratch or redraw your current artwork if it is not currently saved in the correct format. Any design assistance we provide, we charge for but the files are yours to keep when they are completed.

A screen is used for each color ink used on a garment. (ex. 3 Color Art = 3 Screens)

Will you save my screens?
We do not save your screens. At the end of each week we reclaim all of our used screens to begin printing the next jobs for the following week. We go through a lot of screens per week and therefore need to reclaim and reuse our screens very frequently. Because of this, we do not hold screens on file for potential future use.
Do you offer "Test Prints" or can I just get 1 to see if we like it?
We do not offer test prints. The labor involved in setting up the press for 1 shirt does not make this feasable. If we are runninng transfers for you, the minimum to order is 10. DTG we CAN make 1 but the cost will be higher and the print will not resemble the final product if you change print methods.
Customer Supplied Garment Policy
At Black Dog Printing, we are dedicated to providing you with top-quality screen printing services for your custom apparel needs. To ensure a smooth and successful collaboration, we have implemented a customer supplied garment policy. Please take a moment to read and understand the following guidelines:
Sourcing of Garments:
We order garments from wholesale companies to ensure the best quality and pricing for your custom screen printing needs. If you choose to supply your own garments, it is important to note that it may not necessarily save you the money you expect, as our wholesale pricing is often more cost-effective.
Damaged or Misprinted Items:
While we take great care in our printing process, occasional issues may arise, such as damaged or misprinted items. In such cases, Black Dog Printing is not responsible for the replacement or reprinting of customer-supplied garments. Please keep this in mind when providing your own items for printing.
New and Unwashed Items:
We require that all customer-supplied garments be new and unwashed. This ensures the best results in our printing process and helps maintain the quality of the final product. Pre-worn or washed items may not produce the desired outcome.
Counting and Inspection:
Every customer-supplied garment must be counted and inspected before the screen printing process can begin. This thorough examination helps us identify any potential issues and ensures a smooth production process. Please be aware that this additional step necessitates a handling fee to cover the labor and time involved.
We kindly request your understanding and cooperation with these policies, as they help us maintain the highest standards of quality and efficiency in our screen printing services. Just as you wouldn't bring your own food into your favorite restaurant, we ask that you trust our expertise in garment sourcing and printing to deliver the best results for your custom apparel needs.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team at Black Dog Printing. We are here to assist you and provide guidance to ensure your satisfaction with our services.
Thank you for choosing Black Dog Printing as your trusted partner for custom screen printing. We look forward to working with you to bring your creative visions to life.
Terms & Conditions
Please read our terms and conditions carefully.
Here’s how our process works

We will work with you via email/phone to gather your requirements for the job. Please email us at info@blackdogprinting.org with questions or concerns.
We will collect:
- Artwork information
- Garment information
- Quantity
- Due dates
- Shipping/pickup info
- Payment information
Art
We charge [$60 per hour] for custom art. We can design for you, or you can provide your own
art.
Customer provided artwork must be:
- In a vector format (more info)
- Print-ready
If you’re not sure that your art meets our requirements, contact us at artdepartment@blackdogprinting.org.
Art Approval
You must approve print-ready art whether you provide it or we make it.
We will send an approval through Printavo. Please respond [within 48 hours], or we may delay
production of your order.
Art revisions and changes
We offer one (1) round of complimentary revisions to art. Any art changes beyond the first may incur
our art fee of $60 per hour.

Based on your specifications, we will provide a Quote at no charge.
Quote approval
You will approve the Quote through Printavo. Please confirm that:
- Quantities, garments, and artwork are correct

Please respond [within 48 hours], or we may delay production of your order.
Your quote will be good for seven days unless other arrangements have been made.

fee of $250. We do not offer samples.
To ensure that our work meets your specifications, please read your Quote and Art Approval
carefully.
Best Print Method
We will always choose what we think is the best print method for your job unless you specify otherwise.
Out of Stocks / Substitute Replacements
It is unfortunate, but sometimes our vendors will run out of particular styles or colors. If this happens we can offer a variety of possible substitute products from our catalog, or you can choose to wait until the items are back in stock. If you choose to wait for the inventory to be replenished then we cannot guarantee the turnaround time or that the items will be back in stock when the vendor says they will. If we do not hear from you in the alloted amount of time we will choose a substitute garment of equal or higher value in the closest color match we can find to keep your due date.
Shipping or Pick-up
We offer shipping or on-site pick up. Shipping fees are charged at market rate. On-site pickup is
free. Shipping is not included in estimates unless specified. Shipping time is not included in turnaround time. Once the shipment is handed over to the carrier, we cannot guarantee timeliness or exact delivery dates. Domestic UPS Ground shipping times from our facility are from Zip Code 47374.
Will you save my screens?
We do not save your screens. At the end of each week we reclaim all of our used screens to begin printing the next jobs for the following week. We go through a lot of screens per week and therefore need to reclaim and reuse our screens very frequently. Because of this, we do not hold screens on file for potential future use.
Garment Subjectivity
Black Dog Printing will not be responsible for you not liking the garment printed on or the printed artwork. We do our very best to make sure you have selected a garment that you will expect and matches your needs, but we also expect you to do some research on your own. We do our best to provide garment size specs for each product listed on our website. If size specs are not listed on our site, we recommend you confirm and verify them on the manufacturers' site to ensure the garment is going to fit as you intend. If there's any doubt about whether you'll like the selected garment, we recommend ordering a blank sample first. Please keep in mind that ordering blank samples will push back the turnaround time. Blank samples are available for purchase but are not refundable or transferable towards a full production run.
Spoilage and misprints
Mistakes happen! We will replace up to [5%/$250] of an order proven not to match the art approval or quote, and/or offer a significant credit toward your next order.
In the event that we make a terrible error in printing your shirts, then we will reprint the order for you at no additional cost. We do not offer refunds. This rarely happens and really only applies to serious mistakes like printing the wrong art, printing the wrong location, or ordering the wrong color garments. If you require precise measurements of artwork, pantone ink matching, or press checks, this must be communicated prior to approval and it is your responsibility to make sure these requests are notated in the “notes” section of the quote sent for approval, and a surcharge may apply.
In this (and any printing industry), misprints happen. A screen could come out of registration, we may find a defect in the garment, the garment may come from a bad dye lot, etc. There are a million things that could go wrong but we manage to keep misprints and defects well below 1% of all garments printed over the course of a year. This isn’t to say that your order will be guaranteed to have less than 1% misprints, this just happens to be our average. If we misprint a few of your garments then we will NOT charge you for these, and we’ll likely even throw them in with the order at no charge if they are passable. Since misprints can happen, we’d encourage you to order extra garments if you need exact quantities due to preorders or team member requests. For example, if you are ordering a single Extra Small garment for your kid, there is a chance that this garment becomes a misprint. Due to the nature of the screen printing process, we would be unable to setup the screens again just to print this single shirt.
We try to minimize it, but misprints do happen and we cannot predict when. Work with us and plan ahead.
Customer Responsibility for Counting Shirts/Items
At Black Dog Printing, we strive to provide exceptional services and ensure a seamless experience for our valued customers. As part of our commitment to transparency and customer satisfaction, we have implemented the following policy requesting you count your shirts/items before leaving our premises.

This waiver includes, but is not limited to, any claims for compensation, refunds, or replacements for missing shirts/items.

Then, we’ll send you two approvals:
- Art (“Art Approval”)
- Payment (“Quote”)
You have 48 hours to reply to these approvals. Look at your Art Approval carefully. Your Art Approval will have everything you’ll need to know – we’re pros. You get one change for free!
Once your art is approved, you’ll pay us – then we’ll get rolling. We don’t like on-site proofing. It’s a $250 fee.
Then, we’ll either ship your products (at a cost), or you can pick them up for free.
The legal jargon says:
Using our services means you agree to these terms. We’ll protect your info. We’re not liable for mistakes you made, copyright claims, shipping problems, and some other uncommon issues. We own the art we create for you, unless you purchase it for a small fee. Payment is due at time of service. No refunds or exchanges, but still contact us if something is wrong. You can break up with us and we can break up with you, no strings. We might change these terms if something is wrong with them.
Terms and prices are subject to change without notice.

Returns Policy
Returns Policy
ALL SALES ARE FINAL on custom printed items. Custom Printed Items such as Screen Printed, DTG or other personalized Merchandise Items (T shirts, sweatshirts, or other imprintables) cannot be refunded as they are custom items printed to the customers custom artwork and cannot be restocked.

PRINT/DECORATION PLACEMENT: Please view our Standard Print Placement Guideline Form for placement details. There is no way to efficiently measure a distance from the collar on each shirt as each garment is loaded. If you request a shirt that has the design 2″ down from the collar, we will use that as a guide and do our best to make sure all shirts hit that target.
However, all shirts will not hit exactly 2″. They may be off as much as an inch in any direction. This will not be considered a misprint and we will not reprint or refund these shirts. Anything over an inch and a half from your desired placement will be considered for reprint. If no placement is requested we will use our opinion and standard specs to place design. If no artwork size/dimensions are given, we will print our standard dimensions for the print
location. If you want your print to be a specific size, you need to give us the exact measurements.
To return a Black Dog Printing product: You must request an
RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number before making a return. To obtain
an RMA number simply email us at info@blackdogprinting.org and request an RMA number. Please be sure to let us know in your email the date of your purchase, what you would like to return and why you want to return it. The RMA number, once received, must be
