Yes. We encourage customers to order a 1-yard strike off before proceeding with a full production run. A strike off allows you to review the color, scale, and overall appearance of your design on the selected fabric before committing to a larger order.
Yes. The most accurate color matching is achieved by providing a physical sample of the color you want us to match. Art fees may apply for color matching services.
Another option is to purchase one of our printed color palettes, which contains hundreds of colors printed on the actual fabric along with corresponding HEX values to help you select the closest match.
We can assign Pantone colors to your artwork, but we cannot guarantee an exact Pantone match without a physical Pantone swatch or color sample. Because every fabric absorbs ink differently, the same Pantone color may produce different results on different materials.
Yes. Customer-supplied fabric is accepted. Please contact your Carr Textile sales representative before submitting fabric to review our Customer Supplied Fabric Guidelines, fabric requirements, and any special considerations for your project.
Yes. Double-sided printing is available on most printable fabrics. However, the front and back prints cannot be perfectly aligned (registered) with one another due to the nature of textile printing.
White ink printing allows us to print light-colored artwork on dark or colored fabrics by first laying down a white underbase. White ink can also be printed by itself for unique design effects.
PDF files are preferred. We also accept AI, PSD, TIFF, JPG, and other common graphic file formats. Every file is reviewed for image quality, resolution, repeat accuracy, and print readiness before being prepared for production.
The size of your artwork file should match the final printed size you want on the fabric whenever possible.
For repeating patterns:
Most print orders ship within 6–8 business days after payment has been received. Larger orders, color matching, strike off approvals, or specialty services may require additional production time.
Yes. We offer latex printing on pre-pasted wallpaper substrates, making installation quick and convenient while producing vibrant, durable prints.
Absolutely. Once your design has been approved, we retain both your approved production standard and print file, allowing you to reorder with confidence. This helps ensure consistent color and quality across future print runs.
