Re: Industry Standards?
Yes, I did get a standard, but it wasn't right. Someone told me that if I drew a line from the underarm of the shirt toward the middle and another line from the outside edge of the collar at the shoulder down....
the place where these two lines intersect should be the outside edge of the print. I did that and it was way too low. I just did two orders with left chest prints and I think they both turned out pretty good. Here's what I did.
I stayed with the line from the outside of the collar straight down. BUT I didn't go from the bottom of the arm, I went from about one third of the way up from the underarm - or about two inches up. This should be your horizontal line. The vertical line should be the edge of your collar on the left side - right if you are looking at the shirt. Put one fourth to one third of your print overlapping the vertical line from the edge of the collar - depending on the size of the shirt. The three x shirts I did were about one quarter of an inch over away from the line because the area was so large. The small shirts I did were about one quarter of an inch the other way over the line because the shirts were so small.
I was informed by a national vendor that it is really what ever is visually pleasing because shirts had different collars and sleeves.
So far I haven't had any complaints!
I hope it works out well for you!
