WhAt is the minimum order?

The minimum order is five yards per fabric.

What is the maximum yardage order?

We can handle any size order you need. Larger orders need longer production time, but we can typically print 100 yards within 10–15 business days. Please contact us to discuss your project.

What is the turn-around time?

After the file has been confirmed for printing, the turn around time is typically 5 to 10 business days. We strive to turnaround printing projects as quickly as possible.

Are you able to print my design in repeat?

Yes, we offer a full range of print development services and can put your design into repeat, change color ways, index colors — whatever you need for your fabric  printing project.

Do you carry any ready-to-print fabrics?

Yes, we recommend using our in-stock fabrics as they are pre-treated for our specific printers. We can also source fabrics that we don’t have in stock, or you can provide fabric. We will have to test any fabric that you provide to see if it will print as is or it may need to be treated.

We offer digital fabric printing in New York City with free pick-up and delivery on all orders in Manhattan, Williamsburg, Navy Yard, Greenpoint, Bushwick, and Long Island City.

For larger yardage orders 30 yards and above, you can provide your own fabric (silk, polyester, or cotton) as long as it is PFP (prepared for print). For smaller fabric orders 5–20 yards, you can provide your own 100% polyester fabric (or high content polyester fabric (85% or more – however, no nylon).

We have a five yard minimum for all orders.

Compared to screen printing, digital printing is faster and more environmentally friendly. We use eco-friendly inks and try to create little waste as possible.

The Process

Before everything else, it's important to keep in mind the actual end product for the fabric in use. This part affects the print scale, color coherency, and fabric types.

Variables

We try our best to complete the print as quickly as possible, but there are certain variables that can affect the production time.

1) We have excellent color matching capability. In order to get a specific desired color on fabric, we can color-match your file. Each hue, tone, and shade adds to the number of colors and adds more time to the process. Our machines produce excellent color, so if you don’t need to match a branded color you may not need to match to each.

2) File Perfection. Please don’t forget to double check the size, dpi, repeat, etc. When we open the file we try to make sure everything is correct and confirm all the information before we print.  If you need help in this area, we can make sure that your print is in repeat and adjust any color if needed.

3) Fabric  and Treatment. We have a  selection of in-stock fabrics that have been treated for digital printing.

Design Integrity

Print Design is used everywhere for fashion, costume design, home furnishings, packaging, etc. and most designs are copyrighted intellectual property owned by a designer or artist. Most people sell their designs and license for use. If you purchase original artwork from another company, Soleil NYC Textiles is not liable for any copyright issues on files submitted. We can also provide custom print development for you.

Why Digital Printing?

Compared to screen printing digital printing is faster and more environmentally friendly. We use eco-friendly inks and try to create little waste as possible.  Digital printing allows for more colors to be used with greater detail.  Digital printing yields vibrant colors on most polys and silks.

Banner Printing

We also offer printing services for banners or any larger scale prints, however we do not offer sewing of grommets or finishing, only printing.

Production of 300 YARDS OR MORE

Although we do most printing right here in the Garment District in New York City, we outsource LARGE and mass production of digital fabric printing to a company in the northeastern United States. We handle all the communications and print management so you don't have to go through the hassle.

What is color matching and why do I need it?

Some clients request color-matching and others don’t need or want it. If it is important to color-match to your file or Pantone color, the choice of fabric very important as some poly and silk fabrics hold color better than other natural fiber fabrics.  There will always be limitations to the ink colors on fabrics but we have fluorescent inks that can print very brightly on poly and silk fabrics.

What is the maximum fabric size that I can print on?

We are able to roll in 58" width size fabrics but will only be able to print on 54" width of that fabric.

Can I get a sample print?

We offer a strike-off with your fabric yardage printing order.

What are your prices?

Our prices ranges depending on fabric, file design, coverage, and volume order.  Also, if you become a client who uses our services on a regular basis we can talk about special pricing.

If color-matching is needed for branded colors or you require specific colors, the price for color-matching is $20 per color with flat rate of 12 colors or more.

We strive to offer solutions to work within any reasonable budget, so please contact us to discuss your project.
