Fabric fault and printing tolerances

These are the tolerances that our printers work to. It is assumed that you find them acceptable when you proceed with an order:

Dimensions

Fabrics are printed with a tolerance of +/-0.1mm but environmental factors can shrink or expand fabric after printing.
Fabric is considered acceptable if the printed area is accurate within +/- 2%

Faults

Fabrics are inherently susceptible to faults
such as loose fibres and surface variation. Fabric is considered acceptable if
the printed area contains:

• No more than 5 faults measuring less than 1mm per linear metre
• No more than 1 fault measuring up to 3mm per linear metre
• No faults measuring over 3mm

Unprinted
Areas

Faults outside the printed area are considered
acceptable.

Reverse

Faults on the reverse of the printed side of
the fabric are considered acceptable unless visible from front.

Meta Data

Every order is printed with meta data so we
can identify the fabric and process your order. This is printed outside the
printed area and considered acceptable.

Shade Variation:

Please remember that cotton is a natural product and very slight shade variations can occur. These should not cause a problem for your project but please ensure that you order the full quantity of fabric for your project in one go so that the printers can ensure good colour consistency.
My printers currently print pieces up to a maximum of 10 meters in length but
will ensure good colour matching between pieces in the same order.
