T-artwork

"T-shirt artwork" or T-artwork is very important part of LPS life. If you send us a bad image or bad artwork (a low definition picture for example) then you'll end up with a bad print. The best t-shirts are the ones with a well thought out, high-quality design so if you're thinking of sending us something, here's something to remember if you're a designer:

Vector graphic images (EPS, AI, CDR) should be saved with ALL FONTS CONVERTED TO OUTLINES (also known as paths). Saving a Jpeg or Gif file as an Eps does not automatically turn it into a vector graphic.

For those of you who read that and had no idea what it means, just make sure you send us as high a resolution picture as you possibly can!

Our design team can work with almost any design submitted, even if it's a doodle on a piece of paper, so if you can't get a hi-res image don't be worried to send us your stuff! We'll do our best to give you what you want :)

Ain't no sunshine... Outside.

... Inside the factory however it is an entirely different matter...
12,500 hi-vis jackets to unpack and the fluorescent yellow has given the place a strange glow. Not quite the vitamin D fix we all need here but at least it's not gloomy inside anymore!

And just for the record, 5 pallets left to go!

Have you ever felt like Godzilla?

Today we've been having a shift around the office and the factory. A (brand spanking) new machine means we need to move a few things to make some space! But I couldn't help feeling with all the boxes piled up high, that I was Godzilla walking around New York city.

And so it Begins...

We are the London Print Service (or LPS for short!) and we've joined the world of blogging to give everyone an idea of what the world of LPS garment printing is all about!

On this blog you will find some useful stuff, with a little bit of funny stuff thrown in for good measure. (Although, not sure we'll be putting up the work Christmas Party pictures just yet...)

So to begin, we should probably tell you about ourselves and what our company does:

To put it simply, we print t-shirts (or hoodies, or jackets or aprons or bags and whatevever other garments you throw our way!) and we're based in Greenwich, London.
We do both custom and commercial prints- these can be one-off gifts (Valentines day for example, we've printed knickers with love messages on in the past!) or popular consumables (Heard of Malibu anyone? Yes, we've printed for them)

A list of the clients we cater for:
  • Individuals (thats you!)
  • Teams, clubs and groups
  • Musicians and bands
  • Stag and Hen parties
  • Campaigners
  • Charities
  • Church and Religious groups
  • Advertising and Events agencies
  • Promotions companies
  • Nightclubs and Restaurants
  • Construction Industry
  • Schools and colleges
  • Armed Forces
If you come under ANY of these titles or even if you don't, we'll be happy to offer you our services.
