Grow your apparel business in the Windy City with better prints, faster workflows, and fewer mistakes — whether you're in Wicker Park, Bronzeville, or Logan Square.
Start with 300 DPI PNG or vector files to ensure clean, crisp prints. If you're printing for a streetwear brand in Pilsen or a boutique in Bucktown, low-res artwork just won’t cut it.
Humidity in neighborhoods like Rogers Park or South Shore can affect powder adhesion. On muggy days, increase dry/cure time slightly and always check your press settings.
Fast turnaround sells — especially for pop-up shops in West Loop or vendors near Navy Pier. Let customers know you ship from within Illinois and offer same-day options.
Include neck tags, sleeve prints, and logos to save money and make the most of each film sheet. Whether you're printing in Uptown or Englewood, efficiency matters.
Different shirt styles from customers in Bridgeport or Humboldt Park may need unique press settings. Always test your transfers before running large batches.
Use ICC profiles to achieve consistent color across orders — key when you’re handling brand work for clients in Gold Coast or Lincoln Park.
Keep black, white, and sport gray shirts in sizes M–2XL ready for last-minute orders in Lakeview, Beverly, or Hyde Park.
Offer custom neck labels and tags to help emerging clothing brands in West Town and Andersonville stand out. Branding adds perceived value to every order.
Hot-stacked garments can cause ghosting. Let shirts cool completely before folding — especially important when fulfilling bulk orders in Austin or Garfield Ridge.
Whether you’re printing for creators in Albany Park or businesses in Little Village, teaching your clients how to prepare files or care for garments builds trust and repeat business.
At Printholix, we print and ship DTF gang sheets daily throughout Illinois. Whether you're located in Avondale, South Loop, or anywhere else in the city, we've got you covered.
For starter shops, the 13” Calca with I3200 heads is reliable. For production, dual-head models like the Prestige XL2 or Mimaki give better speed and output.
We ship daily from within Illinois. Most Chicago orders — from Lincoln Square to Chatham — arrive in 1 business day via UPS or USPS Priority.
Use 300°F for 8–10 seconds with firm pressure. Peel hot unless otherwise noted. These settings work across most blanks common in the Chicago area.
