Must-follow guidelines

1. Submit files in PNG or JPEG format with at least 150 DPI
   We recommend using PNG for designs with a transparent background. For other designs, we advise preparing files in JPEG instead.
2. Create files in sRGB color profile
   To ensure your design looks the same when printed as it does on screen, make sure you create your print file in sRGB color profile.
3. Remove print file template guidelines
   If you use our downloadable templates, delete the guide layers before saving your files. If you don't delete them, they'll show up on the print.
4. Use full-bleed images
   To ensure maximum coverage, use full-bleed images with graphics that span across the entire dimension of the document. However, if your design covers only a part of the print area, make sure it has a transparent background and submit the image in PNG format.
5. Adhere to the safe print area
   All-over product files are scalable, so keep all important graphics or text within the safe print area to avoid missing design elements on the finished product.

Tips for best results

• Avoid semi-transparent designs
  Semi-transparent graphics (or elements with lowered opacity) don't translate well in DTG printing. We advise using solid colors or simulating semi-transparency by halftoning.
• Create designs with the necessary DPI
  Simply typing in a new resolution value into the file won't result in a higher resolution print. If your graphic's resolution is too low, the best solution is to recreate it.
• Use transparency to your advantage
  Black ink will appear gray on black garments because of the white underbase used during printing. Leave these areas fully transparent when designing for black garments.
• Favor patterns and full-bleed images
  Any space that isn't covered by your design will show the bare fabric, that’s why patterns and full-bleed images usually turn out the best.
• Don’t use adjacent colors
  Since designs tend to look darker when printed, colors that are too close in value to each other can end up blending together. Keep in mind that the mockup image might not accurately reflect the print outcome of adjacent colors. We recommend increasing the contrast for a better exposure and avoiding colors that are too close in value.
  

Cut & Sew disclaimers

• We can't guarantee exact placement.
• It's not possible to perfectly align patterns or images from front to back.
• Elements outside the safe print area are not guaranteed to appear fully on the finished product.
• In case of low fabric stock, we might use comparable fabric to fulfill the order. The substitute will be as close to the original as possible.
• When using white graphics on cut & sew products without covering the whole print area, grey outlines can appear around your designs. We suggest using design files with a transparent background or covering the whole print area with a white background.
