Is Your Artwork Ready?

You have a great idea but need a little help, you’ve lost the originals, or “Can I just tell you what I want on it and you just do it?” Yep! We got this.

Is Your Artwork Ready for Direct to Film (DTF) Printing?

To ensure the highest quality prints with Direct to Film (DTF) technology, your artwork must meet specific criteria. DTF printing offers incredible flexibility, allowing for vibrant prints on a wide range of fabrics and colors. Here are the guidelines to prepare your artwork for DTF printing:

Accepted File Formats:

  • PNG: Ideal for designs with transparency, submitted at a resolution of 300 DPI and sized to the final print size.

  • Vector Formats: We accept .AI and .PDF files. Ensure fonts are either included or converted to outlines (curves). Other vector file types we can use include:

    • SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)

    • EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)

    • DXF (Drawing Exchange Format)

These formats ensure the highest quality of your design in terms of clarity and detail, especially for text and intricate designs.

  • Design Size: Artwork should be prepared at the final size to ensure accuracy in printing.
