What is a Pre-Print Consultation

Pre-Print Consultation, in plain terms.

A Pre-Print Consultation is a free, structured pre-production review of your artwork, fabric, process fit, and colour feasibility — done on WhatsApp, before any sampling or printing begins. We give you a clear yes or no, specific fixes if needed, and an honest estimate of what your job will cost. No commitment, no obligation, no quote pressure. Most reprint problems are file or fabric problems we could have caught upfront in 24 hours. This service exists so neither of us wastes fabric, time, or money on a job that could have been adjusted on the planning table.

What We Check

Four checks before any print.

Every Pre-Print Consultation covers these four areas. We work through them in order and respond on WhatsApp within 24 hours.

📐
1. Artwork

File resolution (minimum 150 dpi at actual print size), repeat correctness (does the pattern tile correctly?), pattern scale at intended print size, vector vs raster, file format compatibility (AI, PDF, PSD, TIFF, PNG, JPG, CDR). We will tell you if your file needs adjustment before printing.

Most issues found here
🧵
2. Fabric

Fibre composition (cotton percentage for reactive, polyester percentage for sublimation), GSM appropriateness for end-use, weave or knit construction, surface preparation needed, presence of softener / silicone / OBA which may block ink absorption.

⚙️
3. Process Fit

Reactive vs sublimation — which process is right for your fabric? Reactive works on cotton, silk, viscose, rayon, modal, linen. Sublimation works on polyester, lycra, synthetic blends ≥80% polyester. We tell you which suits your fabric and your design.

No charge, no upsell
🎨
4. Colour Feasibility

CMYK conversion from your RGB file (slight shift expected), Pantone matching limits (some Pantones cannot be reproduced in CMYK), base-fabric colour interaction, expected colour shift between screen, paper proof, and printed fabric.

Set realistic expectations
How It Works

From your message to a clear answer.

A Pre-Print Consultation moves through five simple steps. Total time: typically 24 hours from your first message.

01
Send Your Design

WhatsApp us your artwork file (AI, PDF, PSD, TIFF, PNG, JPG, CDR). Tell us your fabric and end-use.

02
We Review

Our team works through the four checks — artwork, fabric, process fit, colour feasibility.

03
You Get a Clear Reply

Within 24 hours: a clear yes or no, specific fixes if needed, and an estimated quote — on WhatsApp.

04
You Decide

Move to strike-off, adjust your file or fabric, or take time to think it over. No commitment.

05
Strike-Off & Bulk

When you are ready, we sample, get your approval, and run bulk on MS JP7 or Mimaki TS100.

The consultation itself is free. If you proceed to sampling and bulk, that work is quoted separately on the strike-off message.

Why this matters

Common problems we catch upfront.

These are real issues we see weekly. Each one becomes a reprint, fabric loss, or schedule slip if missed before printing — and each one is catchable in a 24-hour review.

⚠️

Pattern repeat off by 2mm

Customer files often have repeats that look correct on screen but tile incorrectly at print scale. Visible as a seam line every 70 inches across the bulk run.

⚠️

Fabric is 60% polyester, design wants vivid sublimation

Sublimation needs ≥80% polyester for full colour. Below that, customer expects the printed fabric to look like the file — but it comes out muted. Catchable in 1 message.

⚠️

Pantone outside CMYK gamut

Many fluorescent and metallic Pantones cannot be reproduced in CMYK at all. Customer's brand book lists them; print process cannot deliver them. Honest answer upfront saves a reprint.

⚠️

File at 72 dpi for a 1-metre print

Fine on a website, blurry on fabric. We tell you the minimum resolution your file needs and what to ask your designer for, before bulk fabric is committed.

⚠️

Cotton fabric coated with softener

Reactive ink beads off softener-coated cotton and washes out. Fabric looks identical to uncoated cotton — only a swatch test reveals it. We catch this before bulk dispatch.

⚠️

Wrong process for the fabric

Customer asks for sublimation on cotton (does not work), or reactive on polyester (does not work). We will tell you which process is right and redirect honestly.

Why Use a Pre-Print Consultation

Why our customers use this every time.

It does not cost anything. It takes 24 hours. And it routinely catches issues that would have cost five or six figures of fabric and reprint cost down the line. Here is what regular customers tell us.

💰
01

Catches expensive mistakes upfront

Pattern repeat errors, wrong fabric, impossible Pantones — all caught in 24 hours before any bulk fabric is committed to print.

🤝
02

Honest answers, no upsell pressure

If your job is not right for our process, we will tell you. If a different printer is better suited, we will say so. The free consultation is not a trap.

03

Faster strike-off when you proceed

Files and fabric are pre-approved by the time you commit to sampling. No back-and-forth, no surprises at the strike-off stage.

📱
04

WhatsApp — not email forms

Send a photo of the fabric, share the artwork file, ask a quick question — all on the same WhatsApp thread. No CRM, no callback wait, no junk email reply.

📞
05

Direct line to the founder

You speak to the people running the floor, not an account manager. Technical decisions happen in minutes, not days.

FAQs

Pre-Print Consultation — common questions.

A Pre-Print Consultation is a free, structured pre-production review of your artwork, fabric, process fit, and colour feasibility — done before any printing or sampling begins. We respond on WhatsApp within 24 hours with a clear yes or no, specific fixes if needed, and an estimated quote.

Yes. There is no charge for the Pre-Print Consultation, no obligation to place an order, and no commitment of any kind. We do this because most reprint problems can be caught upfront in a 24-hour file and fabric review — saving everyone time, fabric, and money.

Four things: (1) Artwork — file resolution, repeat correctness, pattern scale, vector vs raster, file format. (2) Fabric — fibre composition, GSM, weave or knit construction, surface preparation. (3) Process fit — reactive (natural fibres) vs sublimation (synthetics ≥80% polyester). (4) Colour feasibility — CMYK conversion, Pantone matching limits, expected colour shift between screen, paper, and printed fabric.

We respond within 24 hours of receiving your design and fabric details on WhatsApp. Most consultations come back the same day or next morning.

We accept all common design file formats — AI, PDF, PSD, TIFF, PNG, JPG, CDR. For sublimation, CMYK files are preferred. For reactive, RGB is acceptable. Minimum 150 dpi at actual print size for best results.

Not initially. The first consultation is based on your artwork file and a description of your fabric (composition, GSM, intended end-use). If we recommend a swatch test, you can courier a small sample to our Tirupur facility — we will test it and confirm before you commit to bulk.

Yes. The fabric you have determines the process. Reactive printing works on cotton, silk, viscose, rayon, modal, and linen. Sublimation works on polyester, lycra, and synthetic blends with at least 80 percent polyester. We will tell you which process is right for your fabric, and if neither is right, we will say so honestly.
