THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Compare the printed sample with the approved artwork for colour, scale, clarity and material appearance. Identify the substrate and file revision used. A print on a different fabric may help discussion but should not silently become the approval basis for the final product.
The decision behind the detail.
A satisfactory flat print still needs review in the finished panel arrangement. Keep print approval separate from garment or bandana placement approval.
