Art File Requirements
File Requirements
Please ensure your design files meet the following specifications for optimal printing quality:
- Resolution: 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch)
- Accepted File Formats: PNG, SVG, PDF, AI, PSD, or JPG
- Transparency: Files with transparent backgrounds are required
- Size: Ensure your artwork is sized appropriately for the final print area without any scaling.
While DTF printing is fantastic for vibrant, durable designs on a variety of fabrics, it’s worth noting that solid, dense designs can sometimes feel a bit thick on the garment. To avoid this, we recommend incorporating elements into your design where the shirt color can come through, like open spaces in the middle or distress marks that reveal the fabric beneath. This approach not only lightens the overall feel of the design but also adds a stylish, worn-in look that feels comfortable too!
File Submission Guidelines
1. All Files Are Printed As Is
- Important: Please verify that your files are correct before completing your purchase. All files will be printed exactly as submitted. By proceeding with your order, you are agreeing to print your files "as is."
2. Rights and Responsibilities
- By purchasing, you are confirming that you have the legal rights to print the submitted designs. We take no responsibility for any trademark or copyright infringement issues. We reserve the right to refund an order at our discretion if necessary.
3. Special Effects
- Please Do Not Add Glow or Smoke Effects: These effects will be covered with white ink during the printing process, and the intended effect will not be visible. To avoid any issues, refrain from using these effects in your designs.
4. Gang Sheet Specifications
- File Size Confirmation: Your file must be a gang sheet with a width of 22 inches and the desired length. Any variations in the sizes of the gang sheet you provide versus what has been purchased will result in additional charges. These charges must be paid before your Turn Around Time (TAT) will begin.
5. Artwork Quality
- Image Resolution: All images must be 300 DPI (dots per inch) with a transparent background. Please ensure that your artwork is ganged within the size parameters you have chosen. We do not resize your images; they will be printed in the exact size you have provided on your gang sheet. Please note that any design that is not 300 DPI at the intended print size can result in blurry, pixelated, or distorted prints.
6. File Upload Requirements
- High-Resolution Files: By purchasing, you are stating that you have uploaded high-resolution files that are no less than 300 DPI.
- Transparency: Please do not mirror your images; this is not required for DTF printing. Additionally, files must have a transparent background. If your files do not have a transparent background, your order will be placed on hold until the corrected files are submitted. Your Turn Around Time (TAT) will only begin once we have received and confirmed the corrected files via email.
