The minimum youвЂ™ll end up with is 225 stickers, but in almost every case youвЂ™ll receive just over 250.Дue to unpredictable and unpreventable circumstances in the production of your stickers, the quantity ordered is subject to a +/- 10% overage/underage. So for example, if you order 250, weвЂ™ll plan on printing 275. Typically we print 10% more than what you order, to compensate for errors and misprints. ThatвЂ™s pretty standard in the printing industry. Designs using solid colors typically print best, but we can print gradients as halftones at 55lpi.ДЎ0% OVERAGE / UNDERAGE: All orders are subject to a +/- 10% overage or underage.

Ink is squeezed through a silk mesh screen onto the vinyl.

SCREEN PRINTING: First invented by the Chinese around 900AD. Resolution (DPI вЂ“ see above) is not an issue since any vector based design can be scaled to any size without loss of quality. VECTOR: These are graphics that use geometric shapes, lines, and curves to create designs. High resolution raster images will look large on your screen. For high quality stickers, itвЂ™s best to provide us with artwork that is sized 100% with a minimum resolution of 300dpi. PMS: This stands for Pantone Matching System ( Our standard ink colors directly correspond with the Pantone Basic colors.ДPI: Dots Per Inch. These stickers last 3-5 years in the outdoors when applied to a clean, dry, smooth surface. VINYL: Weatherproof material meant for outdoor application. For an extra charge we can apply lamination to provide a scratch-proof coating and a glossy finish. Ideal for indoor applications вЂ“ anything thatвЂ™s not going to be outside in the elements. PAPER LABEL: Non-weatherproof stickers that come on a wax roll. Shading is smooth and halftones are unnecessary.

With this type of printing process we can print full color designs. ItвЂ™s something like the opposite of a PROCESS COLOR, which is created by printing CMYK halftones (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) over each other to create Full Color.Д¬MYK: This is full color process (the letters stand for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). If you supply us with a Pantone (aka PMS) Number, youвЂ™ll be using a SPOT COLOR to get a precise and solid color. SPOT COLOR: This is printshop and graphic design lingo which basically means a solid color produced by a single ink. We screen halftones at 55 lines per inch. Basically, itвЂ™s a bunch of dots that from far away look like shading (up close, though, they look like a bunch of dots): In most cases we recommend against halftones, but we can help provide you direction to make them work in your design. HALFTONE: This is a process of creating shading using a single ink. We do not offer sign lettering at this time. SIGN LETTERING: These are non-inked stickers in which text or shapes are cut out of the vinyl вЂ“ they are typically applied with transfer tape. The entire sticker (print and backing) arrives in the sticker shape. A die is like an industrial cookie cutter that stamps out the custom shape from the printed vinyl. This allows a custom shaped sticker that peels off of a square or rectangle backing.ДIE CUT: Anything thatвЂ™s not a rectangle or square.

KISS CUT: To custom cut the top layer of the vinyl but not the backing.
