Ooh-la-la Service

So what do we mean by ooh-la-la customer service?

We care.

We do the job as if we're going to be wearing the clothes we embroider or print. We care that you are happy with your purchases and that you will want to do business with us again.

Ooh-la-la is a term of delight, and that's how we want you to feel when you receive your order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Photos for Printing

To print photos onto a fabric, your photo needs to meet certain minimum requirements to assure a pleasing result.

If the photos are digital, they need to be of high enough quality to get the size you need (say 8"x10" at 300 dpi.)

Photos that you copy off a website are usually of unacceptable quality. It may look fine on your computer screen but may look blurry when enlarged and printed. Similarly, photos taken with a cell phone camera probably won't make the cut either.

If the file size of a photo on your computer is less than 100kb, there will probably be issues.

If you have a photo CD or the original file from a digital camera or if the file is subtantially greater than 100kb, it is probably fine.

We can scan a hard copy print of a photo to get an acceptable image to transfer to a shirt. We may also be able to convert the photographic image into something artistic as explained in the main article on this page.

We will be happy to evaluate a photo or graphic for you. Please email it to us at CreativtyOn@comcast.net.

 

Attention Quilt Lovers!

A service we provide with our direct-to-garment printer is printing photos on fabric. This service is great for people who want to make a photo quilt, wall hanging, or art project.

Heirloom quilt made from old photos

Here is an example of an heirloom quilt made from childhood school photos that we printed on fabric. There were twelve children in all (this was a very busy mother!) The photos were resized to all be the same, and a few of the photos, which were taken in color, were converted to black and white for overall consistency.

We added printed names of each child and also a title graphic at the top and bottom of the mother's photo that appeared in the center block of the quilt. The final quilt measured 60"x60". It was presented as a gift from all the children on the occasion of the mother's birthday. It will surely become a treasured family heirloom.

Quilt center block

Besides printing graphics for quilts, we also turned this cherished memory of a newborn (the new daddy took the photo) into a beautiful wall hanging. Something like this will be appreciated for generations to come.

Once we have a file ready for printing, it can be used for multiple purposes. For instance, the photo for this wall hanging could also be used to print a t-shirt. Files can often be resized for different purposes, particularly downsizing.
