Technical details: - Printed colours may differ because of the back ground colour of the product. Ink adhesion may not be good on all metal products.
- When printing lighter colours, repeated printing is often necessary. If this is the case, a surcharge of 50% applies.
- Colour coverage is not 100% on coarser textiles. Transfer printing is then preferred.
- Rounded products have a limited printable surface.
- Not all Caps admit printing on front surfaces. Embroidery is a good alternative.
