Although it might be exciting to begin creating your brand Apparel, there is no reason to be intimidated. This blog will help you to find the most commonly asked questions.
What Type Of Artwork Is Acceptable?
You can use a variety of formats depending on your design needs. However, a PDF might be the best option. Ensure your designs are high quality (at least 300 DPI) to avoid blurry and distorted printing.
Another important aspect is the file format you save as CMYK (or RGB). CMYK is recommended for T-shirt printing. You can easily change your design in Photoshop if you don't save it as CMYK.
Photoshop effects can not be used with T-shirt printing. Drop shadows and faded edges are just a few of the many effects of T-shirt printing.
How can I determine the right size and location for my artwork?
While this is a personal choice, there are some standards you can use to help you decide where to place your design. You can place large images on the front (oversized front placement) and back (full back placement). These design sizes range from 30x35cm to as high as 40cm.
You may prefer left chest or sleeve placement for a smaller design. Placing them on the center chest and upper back is best for medium designs. Ask your printer for clarification if necessary.
Can I mix the sizes of my shirts in my order?
T-shirt printers allow you to Print one design in multiple sizes. You can even choose how many you want. Here's a guideline to help you decide how many sizes you need (if you don’t know the exact sizes for all recipients):
- XS: 1%
- S: 7%
- M: 28 %
- L: 30%
- XL: 20%
- 2XL: 12.5%
- 3XL: 2%
