Every project involves some sort of design work. Whether it’s remastering you logo from a low resolution, adding text, changing print colors or out right generating new concepts. If we’re to provide you with the best screen-print and embroidery experience then design work is part of every successful project.
Remastering – Printing and embroidery work is only as good as the source file art it’s derived from. Often our customers only have old or poorly designed logos that need some TLC to get them into a print worthy format. Most of this work is included in the setup price but occasionally some project need a little more work to get them ready for production. The advantages to using The Foundry for your remastering is we’ll return your art in a format that is compatible with future printing, sign making and web design. Below is a before and after of a project we helped Garfield High School with. They’ve since used this file for their website and other print medias.
