Designing For Print Only

• We accept RGB for print; if your work is designed in CMYK, please convert it to RGB before uploading your design. Please note that physical printing is limited to producing the entire RGB spectrum range. There is always a certain percentage your color might not translate 100% from your screen to the final printed product. So make sure your design is supplied at the resolution and color requirements.
• Careful attention is required when using gradients for direct to garment printing. If the gradient has a transparent area it will fill with whatever base is placed on. So for example, if there is a transparent gradient and it is placed on a white base it will fill in white.
• Custom brushes and textures will not always print the same as if it was printed on paper, If printing on garments the dots would spread more than it does on paper.

Saving an image for Print

• To save your image for export and print, make sure you are saving at 300 DPI resolution and your art board is at 23000 x 23000px, this will ensure your file is saved at the correct resolution for printing.
• Formats to save your images for product placement are JPEG, PNG and transparent PNG. These formats allow flexibility when we place your designs on products for sale.
• Export your PNG for transparent designs with no interlacing, compression is not important.
• If using Adobe Illustrator for vector files, you will need to export your files as PNG or JPEG.
• Your art should be optimized and background is transparent from the PNG options.

Design embroidery tips

• Use large designs- Big, bold designs are the best contenders here. Furthermore, avoid using small, overly detailed designs; think BIG—clear fonts, simple elements, clean lines. The more straightforward your design, the better it'll look when stitched.
• Consider proper colors, use a maximum of 16 within one design.
• keep an eye out for small areas, gaps, holes, etc. within your designs; these can be filled with color to make your final design sharper. Also, be aware that gradients don't translate well when embroidered, if you can avoid gradients do so.
• We will only accept transparent backgrounds for embroidered designs.
• Your design should be submitted as one merged file, and we can only accept pngs for embroidery.
• Your final image needs to be uploaded as a PNG with transparent background or jpeg with our recommended resolution of 23000 x 23000 pixels.
