General
Information
Razor
printing is based in London UK, our aim is to screen
print quality clothing at an affordable price, we print for
bands, clubs, events, individuals etc.
Screen
printing is the best and most durable method of getting
your image / logo onto a t shirt etc.
The
screens, you need one silk screen for each colour or
design, so if you have a one colour design you need to pay for
just one screen, two colour design then two screens, one colour
design but front and back print you will need two screens and
so on, we keep the screens for 9 months so if you reorder the
same design in the future you don't need to pay for another
screen, there is no limit to the amount of shirts than can be
printed with a screen, after 9 months to remake the screen will
be half price.
We
do quality screen prints onto a wide range of garments
from most top manufactures such as Fruit of the Loom, Haynes,
Gildan, Jerzees, Mantis etc.
Garments,
Tshirts, hooded tops, fashion tops, sweat shirts, hoddies, polo

is a minimum order of 20 garments due to the time involved in

FAQ
Print
What
t shirt printing method do you use?
Screen-printing, using professional 4-colour manual carousels
we prefer the higher degree of control and image quality afforded
by manual carousels.
My
design has more than one colour - how does that affect the price?
Each extra colour requires one extra screen, and one extra print
per shirt.
I want a back print on my t shirt as well as a front
print - how does that affect the price?
Again, this requires one extra screen (per colour) and one extra
print (per colour) per shirt.
Can you print on the sleeve?
Yes, we can do sleeve prints.
Can you print in odd positions - round the side, or
at the bottom corner, for example?
Yes, as long as the print doesn't fall within 2cm of a seam.
What
print colours are available?
We mix colours
specifically for each job, and can work to Pantone references
if required (within reasonable tolerances.)Glitter, metallic
inks also available.
What is a "screen", and why do I need one?
The screen is the stencil through which ink travels en route
to becoming your printed design on the t shirt. It's made of
a fine mesh, onto which your image is exposed so that ink can
only pass through the design and not through the rest of the
screen.
If I re-order more t shirts, do I have to pay for the
screen(s) again?
As long as your order is for at least 25 items using the screen(s),
no; we re-make them free of charge at any time.
Do
I get to keep the screen when the job is done?
No, what
you are paying for is the for the artwork to be made to size,
a film to be made from that artwork and to have that image burnt
onto a screen, you also get the use of that screen for as long
you are a customer.
Can I have individual names, numbers or phrases on each
t shirt?
Yes, but this is done using heat-press transfers which vary
in price from £2 to £4 per transfer

ask.

jobs but not recommended for merchandise.
What's the smallest number of t shirts I can order?
I depends on the complexity of the job, multi screen jobs do
require a minimum order being placed.
Artwork
How do I get my artwork to you?
Email or CD is preferable, but we can scan from hard-copy at
a push.
What format should I send the artwork in?
We can work from most graphics formats; .psd, tiff or .jpg at
300dpi or higher (at actual print size) normally does the trick.
My artwork is a bit rough - can you help?
Depending how bad it is, we can usually clean up low-resolution
artwork to get something printable, but it's always preferable
for you to send a good high-resolution file if possible.
My design is just text - can you lay it out for me?
As long as we have the font, yes.
What's the biggest image size you can print?
Approximately 35cm wide by 50cm high.
Can I send you hard-copy artwork?
Yes, although we prefer to work from computer file if possible
(especially if your hard-copy is bigger than A4.)
How long would it take to print my shirts?
Turnaround time depends on the size and complexity of your order;
if you have a specific deadline, please contact us as soon as
you can so that we can confirm whether there may be any problem
meeting it. We can usually hit tight deadlines.
General
How
do you deliver my shirts?
We use Parcel Force for all deliveries.
What does delivery cost?
Depending on size of order, £12 for 25 shirts to £30
for 100 shirts next day.
Can I collect from you, to save the delivery charge?
Yes you can. If you want to collect outside of normal business
hours (8am-5pm Monday-Friday) we can arrange this as long as
we have enough notice.
Where are you based?
In Holloway London, England.
Is
there a minimum Order?
There
is a minimum order of 25 garments due to the time involved in
setting up the screens etc.
My band is on tour - if we run out of shirts, how quickly can
you get more to us?
As long as you give us the tour schedule in advance, we can
try to turn re-orders around within a matter of a few days (often
even quicker than that - the key is to make sure that we make
a plan in advance and keep your screens "live" and
appropriate shirts in stock.) We can discuss this prior to your
initial order.
How come your prices are so low - what's the catch?
We offer exceptional print quality at fair prices; many print
companies don't want to print less than a few hundred shirts,
so they set much higher prices for smaller batches, but we specialise
in working with small bands and other lower-volume clients.
The only catch is that we're extremely popular, so our turnaround
time is occasionally longer than we'd like (but still much lower
than most other companies.)
How can I be sure of the quality of your work?
We are fiercely proud of our reputation for the highest quality
printing; we believe that our reputation speaks for itself,
but if you've had a grim experience with another printer and
are reluctant to take anything for granted, please check out
our gallery page.
What payment methods do you accept?
Pay Pal, cheque, bank transfer, cash, and credit card payments
through Pay Pal.
Do I have to pay up-front?
Yes, we do prefer this if at all possible
