From Stevi: These print-on-demand and made-to-order products are printed and shipped via a third-party printing company separate from SteviMager.com. This means these items never reach Stevi before they are shipped to you. To know exactly what you can expect with each purchase and to ensure you are satisfied with the quality of each item prior to purchasing, here are a list of disclaimers about this item provided directly from the printing company.

 

Official Disclaimers from the Printing Company:

 

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) disclaimers

• We do not print white ink on white garments.
• Light ink elements on bright-colored garments may appear tinted due to the curing process and product dye. This is most evident in Red, Maroon, and other similarly-colored garments.
• Graphics with hard lines or symmetrical shapes may have slight variations due to the manual printing processes, and a minimal shrinkage per print location is possible due to different material compositions.
• Any minor discoloration of the product or stains around the printed image will disappear after the first wash.
• Some smaller youth/women products can have their inside labels positioned a bit lower than typical due to a printing process limitation.
• We do not ship blank products.

 

While our Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing process is designed to produce high-quality results, it’s important to understand that the colors in your design may appear differently on the final product than they do on your screen. Even with a calibrated monitor, various factors can influence how colors look when printed.

 

We cannot guarantee 100% color accuracy. Here’s what to consider:

 

Fabric type and garment color

The material and color of the garment can impact how your design’s colors appear. For example, the same color value may look slightly different when printed on 100% cotton compared to a fabric blend. Similarly, colors can vary when printed on light versus dark-colored garments.

Just keep in mind - if the cotton fabric is too thick, it might soak up more ink and give the print a slightly faded appearance.

 

White underbase application

To ensure vibrant colors on colored garments, we apply a white underbase layer beneath the print. This underbase can affect how colors appear, especially when comparing prints on garments with and without this layer. Keep in mind that even photos of printed products may not perfectly represent the actual colors.

 

Why Does My Shirt Have a Vinegar Smell?

If you just unpacked a shirt or hoodie and noticed a vinegar-like smell or a light off-white residue on the fabric, don’t worry. This is a normal part of the Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing process.

That scent comes from a fixation agent, also known as pretreatment. It's used to help the ink bond with the fabric so your design doesn't flake or fade.

The good news? It’s temporary.

Both the smell and the residue are temporary and will disappear completely after the first wash. We include a note about this on the packing slip in every DTG order, so there are no surprises.
