Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do enthusiasts prefer dye-sub?

A: PBT texture plus permanently-infused legends – the caps look new for years where ABS shines and pad-print fades.

Q: Can we print full-color art?

A: Dye-sub handles multiple colors well; photographic gradients are better served by our dye-sub + UV hybrid process – samples show the difference clearly.

Q: What is the MOQ for a custom art set?

A: 5,000 sets per design; shared-platform sets (same molding, different art) can combine toward volume.
