File Submission Guidelines:

• File Format: Submit files in PNG or JPEG format.
• Resolution: Ensure files are at least 150 DPI (dots per inch) for best quality.
• Recommendations:

Following these guidelines, including using the sRGB color profile, will help ensure your artwork is accurately represented and ready for printing.

• 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. 

The tag on each garment provides recommended care instructions for the garment itself; however, these instructions may not fully address the care needed for direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. To help DTG printing last as long as possible, we recommend following the instructions below:

Washing

• Turn the garment inside-out.
• Machine wash cold with like colors.
• Use mild detergent and a gentle cycle.
• Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary.
• Do not dry clean or use any fabric softeners.

Drying

• Hang dry when possible.
• Tumble dry on a low cycle if necessary.

Ironing

• Iron inside-out on a cool setting.
• Do not iron the printed area.
