Must-follow guidelines

• Submit files in PNG or JPEG format with at least 150 DPI
• Create files in sRGB color profile
• If you use our downloadable templates, delete the guide layers before saving your file

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 (for more information, see our video tutorial).
• 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.
• Avoid borders 
  We advise against using graphics with perfect borders since the print can warp slightly when the garment is being pulled off the pallet.

DTG disclaimers

• We do not print white ink on white garments.
• Light ink elements on bright-colored garments may appear tinted due to the curing process and product dye. This is most evident in Red, Maroon, and other similarly-colored garments.
• Graphics with hard lines or symmetrical shapes may have slight variations due to the manual printing processes, and a minimal shrinkage per print location is possible due to different material compositions.
• Any minor discoloration of the product or stains around the printed image will disappear after the first wash.
• Some smaller youth/women products can have their inside labels positioned a bit lower than typical due to a printing process limitation.
• Human involvement in the printing process can lead to minor variations in the exact placement of prints on garments and products.
• We do not ship blank products.
