How do I know what sizes to order?

What Color Inks are available?
Enemy offers hundreds of colors of ink. When you submit your artwork we will let you know if we stock the exact color your logo was created in or something close. If we do not have your exact color and you are interested in an exact color match Pantone/PMS matches are available for $35 - $65 dollars depending on the type of ink and use.
How big can I get my logo printed?
Our standard print is 15” x 17”, we also offer 19” x 22” which is too big for some shirt sizes. Lastly we offer an all over style print with a print area roughly 25” x 40”. All over style prints carry a 144 piece minimum and a $60 screen / film charge for a one color print.
Can I have some shirts printed with one color and some shirts printed with another color?
Yes, this is referred to as an “Ink Change”. Ink changes run $15 for a standard print and $20 for specialty inks such as water based or discharge. Ink changes for jumbo prints are also $20 ea.
Can I vary the color of the shirt throughout my order?
Yes, you can change the color and in many cases the style of the garment without any additional fees (other than garment cost). Keep in mind that all logos many not look good on all color shirts. If you are changing the garment color you may also want to change the color of ink too.
What the hell is discharge and water based inks?
Discharge ink is actually more of a bleach than an ink. Discharge ink bleaches your design into the shirt. It is best used if you are printing a very large image or are looking for a real soft vintage feel. Water based inks are inks that do not include oil or plastic (or both) as a base. They feel softer and are generally noted as a more eco friendly printing process. Discharge and water based inks also print really well over the zippers on hooded sweatshirts and off the bottom of shirts or over seams. If you’ve ever seen an over the zipper print that looks like complete garbage, chances are it was not printed with discharge. Ask us if you’d like to see some examples, you’ll see what we mean. Both discharge and water based inks generally run an additional $1 per print (but it’s completely worth it).
What other specialty inks are available?
We can print your logo in metallic, suede, puff, UV sensitive, glow in the dark, etc. etc. If you’ve seen a printing technique that you like there is a very strong chance we can replicate it with your logo.
Do you offer contract printing? What is contract printing?
In contract printing the customer provides the blank garment and print ready artwork. Yes we do offer contract printing. Please contact info@enemyink.com and request a contract price sheet if this sort of thing applies to you.
