The Print Shop Collection:
This inaugural collection will feature our best-selling Library Stamp design, two Little Women designs, and a select few never-before-seen original designs. These adult tees will be available in unisex and women's styles in a variety of colors. And if all goes well, we hope to roll out more designs throughout the year.
The Print Shop: FAQs
How do you pick the designs for The Print Shop?
We tried to pick a mix of popular styles, along with a big helping of totally new
designs. Our hope is that we can continue to grow this collection with prints of all types. We'd love your suggestions!
How is this Print Shop collection different from your other shirts?
Most of our shirts are screenprinted in bulk and stored in a warehouse, ready to ship. These shirts are printed by a 3rd party vendor who will make your shirt to order and ship directly to you. This will help us bring in new styles and colors that we want to offer but can't make in bulk.
What is direct-to-garment printing technique?
Direct-to-garment, or DTG printing, is a method that sprays ink onto garments and is similar to printing on paper. DTG printing technique is an excellent option for those who want to add complex, multi-color designs on t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, and other similar fabric items.
DTG-printed designs soak into the clothing fibers, that way the prints:
- Don’t sit on top of the fabric
- Remain uncracked over time
- Aren’t stiff and feel comfortable for the wearer

CLEANING & CARE
Printed apparel can be machine-washed cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary. Don't use any fabric softeners or dry-clean the items.
To avoid fading and cracking of the print and shrinking the garment, tumble-dry on a low cycle or hang-dry.
Why does my shirt have a vinegar smell?
When unpacking a new shirt or hoodie with a direct-to-garment (DTG) print, you might notice a vinegar-like smell or an off-white residue. Don't worry, that's not unusual - it's from a fixation agent applied during the printing process and it's not permanent.
Fixation agent (sometimes known as pre-treatment) is used for all DTG prints across the industry. It helps the ink bond with the fabric, and without it, the ink would flake off the garment.
The solution is simply to wash the garment! Neither the residue nor the smell is permanent and both should go away after one wash.
