Read this for tips on how to upload successful Artwork for printing!
When Uploading a Raster Image (.png, .jpg, .tif, .gif, and .psd)
Must be transparent. Our printer prints white. This means that if there is a white background behind your image, it will be printed.
Must be a High Resolution PNG at 300 DPI (Dot's per inch-think pixels!) that was originally sized at or larger than the transfer size you are ordering. Ex. if you create (or have purchased) a raster image and it was originally created as a 4" x 4" square- it may be pixeled if you decide to order this in a 12" x 12" square. See image above. If you are questioning the quality of your image, please reach out prior to ordering for us to check your file.
When Uploading a Vector (.ai, .svg, .eps, .pdf)
Must be transparent unless you intend to have a background printed (including white)
Make sure your text is converted to outlines.
To convert text to outlines using Adobe Illustrator:
1. First, select all art by going to the Menu Bar > Select > All.
2. While everything is selected, go back to the Menu Bar > Type > Create Outlines.
General Tips for Both File Types
DO NOT MIRROR YOUR ARTWORK. Our software does this automatically.
Outlines/Lines must be at least .02 points (or .035 inches) in width or the adhesive cannot adhere to the art therefore, may not adhere to your apparel. Thicken your line or lettering as needed.
Maximum width is 22 inches x length of your choosing at checkout.
See Through Effects and drop shadows do not work with DTF. If you would like a shadow effect, please create your file using half-tones.
We reserve the right to cancel and refund your order for vulgar or offensive words or images.
We are not responsible for color as every printer output colors a little different. If you are concerned about matching a color to a specific brand, please ask for a Color Guide prior to ordering large amounts of transfer
