Passing A Decade

It is official, Fast-Trac Designs is 11 years old. It has taken a ton of hard work and dedication to grow from a garage based business. Our success and continued growth has been amazing and we could not have done it without our customers. The ones who return and the ones who refer, every client makes this possible and we are so grateful. We look forward to continuing to provide screen printing and vehicle wraps here in Arizona and cant wait to see what the future holds.

What Do You Know About Dog Training?

  A well trained dog can amaze a crowd and impress your friends but the main focus on dog training and obedience school is to have a well behaved pup as well as a protector. A few months ago we met a new client that specializes in several types of dog training. Located here in Phoenix,       Desert Sky K9 All Breed Dog Training has all of the knowledge needed to teach your furry friends right from wrong and of course how to do tricks. With over 20 years of experience in family pet training and working K9 training, Mark and Gail are sure to provide an effective and useful learning experience. 

  We hope hundreds of potential customers for Desert K9 see there full custom vehicle wrap that was designed, printed and installed here at Fast-Trac Designs. Since they do specialize in training the Malinois breed our design team was sure to incorporate that photo into the wrap design and a gorgeous photo of an Arizona sky. Another service we provided to Desert Sky K9 is custom printed T-Shirts featuring their logo with diamond plate texture. We were very excited to see them on a news special showing off their new apparel and well trained pup. 

Here at Fast-Trac Designs we enjoy seeing our clients succeed. We had a great time working with Desert Sky K9 and look forward to their next project. 

Do You Have Proper Artwork?

If you are looking into having vehicle wraps, large format graphics or T-shirts done you will be asked this question. Do you have proper artwork? Maybe you are uncertain but the Fast-Trac Designs team is here to help you understand proper art formats, unusable art formats and what options you have to acquire the necessary art in order to complete your project.

First we would like to tell you about raster art and vector art. Raster art is what most internet images and photographs are formatted in. Made with pixels, (small squares that make up the image.) raster art cannot be manipulated without distorting the picture. Therefore, if we enlarge a raster image it will become pixilated (blurry.) Some raster files can be used depending on resolution of the photo however the image may still become pixilated. Raster file types are commonly .jpg .png .tiff & .gif

Now for vector art. This is what we need in order to properly produce vehicle wraps, screen printed apparel and other large format prints. When art is created in vector format it is made with lines and points that allow the ability to enlarge the art and it will never lose resolution. This art format is created in design programs such as Adobe Illustrator. Vector file types include .ai, .pdf & .eps

I know, now you are asking "Can my raster art be converted into vector art?" The answer is YES! We do have a very knowledgeable design department that can recreate your art to be the proper usable vector format.

Whew! That is a lot of information, but don't worry because the team at Fast-Trac Designs is here to guide you and your artwork is just the beginning. We work with our clients throughout the entire design process on every project. We hope that this helped you understand if you have proper artwork.

More Options With Screen Printing

Several of our customers have noticed how Fast-Trac Designs has expanded over the years and of course because of all of our amazing clients we are able to grow and offer more services to you and clients to come. Now I don't think many people know about our most recent upgrade in our screen printing department but it is very exciting. About 2 weeks ago we received our 8 color screen printing press that allows us to create more color intense screen printed designs that are quite common among the car show events. Our old press was limiting us to 6 color designs so an upgrade was long overdue. The entire team at Fast-Trac cannot wait to print a stunning 8 color print, we will be sure to share it with everyone along with more updates from Fast-Trac Designs.

Rock Your Panels

Wrapping portions of vehicles (or objects) is often times just enough to get an edge or new look and is affordable for smaller budgets. Lately we are getting more and more customers interested in wrapping just the rocker panels or lower half of their vehicles and we are here to let you know it looks pretty sweet. Feel free to check it out for yourself and let us know what you think.

Support For Breast Cancer Awareness

October is the month dedicated to spreading the word about breast cancer, supporting the survivors, honoring those who fought, and putting forth efforts in finding the cure. Thousands come together in pink to show we all care and hope the best for those in the battle. Fast-Trac Designs would like to send our support to all patients, their families and friends who have witnessed this battle. Stay strong and NEVER give up the fight.

Two Color Touch

When it comes to screen printing we here at Fast-Trac Designs know how to create a masterpiece print. Our manual press can hold 6 colors and our highly experienced printer can produce optimum prints. Our recent project for Paradise Electric is pretty neat considering it is a two color print. This is also due to the design and then the screen printer bringing it to life. This shows that if you are looking for a catching or unique design you don't need a bunch of colors, Just keep in mind the design and the experience. 

Double Sided

We want to let you know a little more about Fast-Trac Designs. You know we produce some pretty sweet wraps but we also can provide anyone with exceptional screen printing service. We recently made Phx Screen Printing a division of Fast-Trac Designs, but don't worry, we are still Fast-Trac just double sided. We will create your screen printed apparel in house from design, to print, to pick up. Fast-Trac Designs will continue to be your one stop print shop!

Heavy Ink - Not Wanted

The trend for softer prints on apparel has been the trend for over a year now. Most Clients are requesting a vintage, distressed or worn look and/or feel to their screen printed shirts. Honestly we don't blame em, piling ink on a cotton T-shirt can make it heavier and in Phoenix that is not wanted. Thankfully we have the knowledge to produce soft prints that will be comfortable and enjoyable to wear for work, fun or special occasions. You are guaranteed to get exactly what you want from Fast-Trac Designs.

Contact Fast-Trac Designs to get your screen printed apparel on Track!
