Search the FAQ for entries containing:

A flash is when the design requires that an ink color be dried before another color is put over it. A flash charge applies to most dark garments and some lights depending on artwork. This makes the design much more vibrant and keeps inks from running together.  Flash charge for dark shirts is factored into the pricing you’ll receive and is why dark shirts are more expensive to have printed than light ones.
