Hello. I'm in the process of designing t-shirts and I'm basically finished. However, I'm confused as to how to get them "perfect" for printing. Perfect as in centered, and flush. If anyone can help that would be great. Thanks.

Flush with what?
Centred is quite easy, you can align to page and use the Japanese registration marks in the printer dialogue box.

what type of printing are you doing? heat transfer or screen printing?

If you are printing for heat transfers, there is always the "print preview" box or you can play with your document size and alignment in the print settings...

If you are printing for screen printing you will want to add registration marks if you are printing more than one color. follow positivedaves instructions.

Sorry, I was assuming screenprint!
