Artwork Guidelines

  • Vector files are recommended. Please save vector files as a PDF. Raster images must be saved as a PNG or TIFF with a transparent background at 300 dpi or higher.
  • Convert all colors to CMYK. DTF printers cannot simulate RGB colors accurately. Please refer to our CMYK color chart for color matching. 
  • Convert all fonts as objects or curves.
  • Tiny details and lines will be too small to under base. Please thicken any small lines with a contour or outline. Printing areas smaller than 1 point or 0.014" may not print.
  • Translucent gradients and drop shadows will not print well. Please remove these from your artwork.
  • If your artwork is low quality and has pixelated edges, it will print that way. If you do not have high resolution artwork, please contact us for vectorizing services. Pricing depends on art complexity.
  • We are not responsible for color matching. Please check your colors before submitting artwork. Pantone colors will print very close to true, but not guaranteed. 
  • Files must be sized to the exact gang sheet size you are ordering. If your artwork is not sized correctly or there are any issues, we will contact you ASAP and this may result in additional days in production.
  • If your design has halftones, please make sure they are set to 35 LPI or lower when needing a white under base. Anything higher than 35 LPI will not hold a white under base.
  • We offer set up and some art modifications for an additional fee.
