DTF Artwork Guidelines

✅ Your Artwork Prints as Provided

• Your file will be printed as submitted
• We are not responsible for file issues or setup errors.

✅ Include Only What You Want Printed

• No extra notes, multiple copies, or unnecessary layers.
• Gang sheets can have multiple designs.

✅ Use Hard Edges

• Soft edges or transparencies will print with white ink behind them.
• Avoid fade effects; instead, use a halftone effect for smooth blending.
  •  This video shows the process of creating a halftone effect for a DTF print

✅ Backgrounds Will Print

• Any background in your file will be printed.
• To remove backgrounds, save in PNG or PDF (not JPG/JPEG).
  • This free online tool may be helpful for removing backgrounds.

✅ Convert Fonts to Outlines (Vector Files Only)

• In vector files (like PDFs), convert text to curves/outlines to avoid font issues.

✅ Match Artboard Size to Design

• The artboard/page should be the same size as your design.
• Extra space can shrink your design when printed.

• Vector: PDF
• Raster: PNG (300 DPI)
