A monitor emits light, while fabric reflects light from its surroundings. This means the on-screen preview is not an exact colour reference for the print. Not every vivid colour shown on a monitor can be reproduced with a particular printing process.
A sample with your own print measures 46 × 46 cm and lets you see how your design looks on your chosen fabric. It is worth ordering one before your first larger order or when switching to a different fabric.
Start with the care instructions for your chosen material. Woven cotton, knitted fabrics and faux leather may need different care — one washing temperature will not suit the entire range.
Print width depends on the fabric you choose. Check it on the product page before preparing your file — the full width of a woven or knitted fabric may be greater than the area available for printing.
Do you want to cover fabric with a repeating pattern, test your design on a sample or print a single graphic? Choose the option in the configurator that suits what you plan to sew.
