Our Humanity Line

We introduced our Humanity line of snowboards back in 2006. It was a collaboration of American Gear Company, Tommy Czeschin and Daniel Malmrose.We created the line to allow us the creative and technology freedom to do what we wanted. Humanity model include:

C5 – With a serrated side-cut, camber under the feet and rocker on the tip and tail, this board is perfect for icy or steep conditions.
C6 – This model has a serrated side-cut with 6 contact points and a rocker camber profile. This board is perfect for park riding in powder or icy conditions.
C2 – This model has a traditional side-cut but it’s double camber give the board 4 contact points. This board has camber under the feet and rocker under in the center and on the tips and tails. This allows you to load up when necessary.

Artwork Instructions

Top Print Method

Digital Sublimation. Most of our snowboard tops are printed using a digital sublimation print process. In order to get the best output, you should design in CMYK using a vector design program. If your design is comprised of photos or raster images you should design in CMYK with a resolution of 150dpi or higher, and be sure that all photos are to scale. Be sure to download any templates you may need.

The best file formats are .AI, .PSD, .EPS, .TIFF, .PNG anything uncompressed.

The design templates are laid out in a rectangle with the outline of the snowboard as a layer. Be sure to design on the layer labeled “artwork” and leave the template layer alone so we can turn it off when printing. DO NOT CROP THE IMAGE TO THE SHAPE OF THE BOARD! We need the bleed in order to ensure all design elements are correct. See examples:

Base Print Method

Screenprint. Most of our snowboard bases are printed using a screen print method. We use screen printing because of the opacity and bonding characteristics of the inks used. For best results, a two-color screenprint is best, for a bit extra cost we can make more passes if your design requires it.

Basically use the same methods as the top, but just use fewer colors and a simpler design. Unlike the tops, we print on the INSIDE of the materials, the side that is getting bonded to. You will look at your image through the 1.2mm thickness of the clear materials.

The best file formats are .AI, .PSD, .EPS, .TIFF, .PNG anything uncompressed.
