This guide outlines the print file requirements, best practices, and disclaimers for DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing.

Print Area Specifications

Note: This is the maximum print area. Graphics will be scaled according to the product size.

✅ Must-Follow Guidelines

• Submit files in PNG or JPEG format.
• Files must have at least 150 DPI.
• Create files in the sRGB color profile.
• If using downloadable templates, delete the guide layers before saving your file.

💡 Tips for Best Results

• Avoid semi-transparent designsSemi-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.
• Create designs with the necessary DPISimply typing in a new resolution value won’t create a higher-resolution print. If your graphic’s resolution is too low, the best solution is to recreate it.
• Use transparency to your advantageBlack 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.
• Avoid bordersWe advise against using graphics with perfect borders, as the print can warp slightly when the garment is pulled off the pallet.

⚠️ DTG Disclaimers

• We do not print white ink on white garments.
• Light ink elements on bright-colored garments (e.g., Red, Maroon) may appear tinted due to the curing process and product dye.
• Graphics with hard lines or symmetrical shapes may have slight variations due to the manual printing process.
• Minimal shrinkage per print location is possible due to different material compositions.
• Any minor discoloration or stains around the printed image will disappear after the first wash.
• Inside labels on some smaller youth/women products may be positioned lower due to printing limitations.
• Human involvement in the printing process can lead to minor variations in the exact placement of prints.
• We do not ship blank products.
