| | How do I get prices? |
| | Many printers post stock prices. Because of the
fluctuation of both wholesale prices and our regular bulk purchases at sale
prices, we are able to give discounts on many items at any given tme. To
get the best possible pricing, please call 800-280-9682 or e-mail for
a quote. |
| |
| | Can I order online? |
| | No. Because of the large number of variables and
the intricacies of each individual project, the safest and most efficient
way to ensure perfect results is to contact us directly by calling our 800
phone number or by e-mail. |
| |
| | Do I need to supply my own artwork?
|
| | No, but you can if you'd like. Although we can
reproduce your artwork, our staff will create finished artwork for you. We start
with thumb-nail sketches from your idea and work towards the finished product
from there. Generally you'll get two or three sketches to choose from at which
point you can pick one or mix and match aspects from each of the sketches.
Once the idea is complete, we work up a finished piece that you can see on
your desktop. |
| |
| | If I supply the artwork, what format does it
need to be in? |
| | Unless you are a graphics engineer and have
experience with Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand, or Corel, please call
before you begin any digital artwork. For the most part, jpeg, gif, bmp,
ppt, qxl are not conducive to strong results and require extensive reworking.
Even though a piece of artwork may look beautiful on the monitor, it may not
be set for the proper resolution, layers, color gamut, trapping, etc., to
achieve the desired results. Drawings and photographs generally reproduce
very well. However, DO NOT FOLD OR MARK THEM UP! Enclose any written
directions on separate sheets of paper. |
| |
| | How many colors can I use for my print?
|
| | Pretty much as many as you'd like. We have as
many as 14 print heads on any one press but by means of mixing colors and
simulating colors through blending, there is virtually no limit to the
number of finished colors. |
| |
| | Are there minimums? |
| | Yes. Our minimum for one or two color imprints
is 72 pieces. More than two colors is 144 pieces. |
| |
| | What is the turnaround time for my shirts?
|
| | As a rule, once the artwork is approved, turnaround
is about 1-2 weeks. If you get in a bind and have a short delivery date, let
us know. We'll work with you if we can and we'll let you know if we can't.
(We promise not to laugh.) |
| |
| | Should I use 100% cotton or blended T-Shirts?
|
| | In almost all cases, the 100% cotton is the way
to go. The all cotton shirt is much more comfortable to wear and with all
of the new manufacturing processes, the shape and size of the shirt stays
very consistent. The exception comes primarily when working with youth shirts.
The blended shirts are a bit more wear and tear resistant and can survive the
playground a little better. |
| |
| | If I run out, can I get more? |
| | Yes. Re-runs of 36 pieces or more are charged at
the same rate as the original run. |
| |
| | What type of mats does Cotton Graphics sell? |
| | Our floor mats are flocked oelfin polyester with
vinyl backing. We can flock mats in 18"x27", 2'x3', 3'x5', and 4'x6' sizes.
The mats are available in a large number of carpet colors with an even larger
selection of image colors.
For cost reasons, mats almost always have a one-color image.
In other words, they have one flock (foreground) color and one mat
(background) color. You may order a variety of mat colors for no
extra cost but we charge extra to vary the flock color because of
the cleanup involved.

| | Where can I see examples of some of
your mats? |

| | Why does the RV industry love these floor mats? |
| |
Our 18"x27" mats are perfect RV dealers and manufacturers.
Here are some of the reasons:
| |
Mats put that eye-catching space at the entrance to good promotional use.
Mats dress up travel trailers and fifth-wheel trailers at shows.
They can be used at the top and bottom of stairs.
Mats protect the interior of units in the showroom and on the lot.
Mats are a great thank-you gift for customers. Mats are welcome promo
items that stay in a prominent place, assuring that your message continues to
be seen.
Dealers, help shoppers remember where they are.
Carpet remnants are an afterthought, and look like it.
Let your customers see something nice: your logo!

|
| |
| | What is the turnaround time for my mats? |
| | Six weeks. Can you believe it? Sometimes we do
better, but six weeks is the only safe answer. One reason is that the flocked
mat industry is small. The flocking fibers, with thousands of combinations of
length, diameter, and color, are dyed to order rather than sitting in the
manufacturer's inventory. So if a big job used up all of the
flock in the color we need for your job, we order more and the flock
manufacturer makes a new batch. All of this takes time. Order early
to get your mats in time for an RV show or a marketing campaign.

| |

| | Pricing for 18"x27" mats with one color of flocking is as follows:
10 mats $14.54 each, 25 mats $13.48 each, 100 mats $12.85 each,

|
| |
| | Do you sell big mats for my entranceways? |
| | Yes, we sell 2'x3', 3'x5', and 4'x6' mats as well.
4'x6' mats cost $97.45 if you order just one and $93.80 if you order five.
