DESIGN GUIDELINES AND TIPS

Our primary business is transfer production not creative or application services. But don't fret, we're here to help and will provide you tips on art uploading, art approval as well heat press application. Remember, it doesn't hurt to ask!

 

Aesthetic qualities aside, there are a few important considerations when creating or sourcing any artwork for DTF printing.

Transparent background: Unless you want a rectangular print for creative reasons, be sure to make the background transparent. This will not only make the subject of your artwork pop visually, it will also save all the ink that would otherwise be used to print the background.

Line Thickness: Minimum line thickness is .018"

300 DPI resolution: The higher the resolution of your artwork, the better your print can look. We recommend using 300 DPI or higher to avoid jagged edges on curves.

72dpi and 300dpi examples

Size artwork to desired print size: Expanding or zooming in on artwork causes jaggy curves, so create your designs at the size you’ll be printing or larger.

PNG & PDF: Our recommended file formats are PNG or PDF formats for storage efficiency (with lossless compression) and support for transparent backgrounds & opacity. SVG, EPS, BMP, AI, PSD, TIF, PSD, JPE, JPG, GIF, and other formats also work but PNG or PDF files are most commonly used, and widely supported by graphics creation & editing software.

  • CorelDraw® - save as .pdf or .eps
  • Adobe Illustrator® - all versions
  • Adobe Acrobat® (PDF) - all versions
  • Bitmaps/Jpgs (photos) - all versions
  • Photoshop® - all versions
     

RGB: Yes, your printer uses four-color CMYK inks, plus white for the underbase and highlights. However, our software is optimized to convert the RGB colors commonly used for PC computer graphic work to CMYK+W when printing. So we recommend using RGB for your design.

Customers may request that you print a design that they provide to you as a graphic file. This in itself is not a problem, but it’s important to check the parameters of their designs and let them know proactively if you have quality concerns. As mentioned, make sure any file you accept is 300 DPI and sized appropriately for the size of print they want to have.

Downsizing is easy, so oversized images are fine. But images that are much smaller than the desired print size will not result in the quality of print desired.

The same goes for use of clip art or images saved from the Internet. Make sure they’re designed for larger format printing using the parameters referenced above.

We can produce incredible quality prints! Don’t let your reputation for quality printing take a hit due to poor quality source graphics.
