Process & Fees
Swale is a small-batch single-color print shop. We print in only monochromatic designs (one color ink per print). Some inks are slightly opaque, meaning the color of the garment will show through the ink and affect its final color. A variety of ink colors are available, and we are available to discuss your project in further detail in order to plan a design and color combo that you will love!
