DTG

Must-follow guidelines

1. Submit files in PNG or JPEG format with at least 150 DPI
   We recommend using PNG for designs with a transparent background. For other designs, we advise preparing files in JPEG instead.
2. Create files in sRGB color profile
   To ensure your design looks the same when printed as it does on screen, make sure you create your print file in sRGB color profile.
3. Remove print file template guidelines
   If you use our downloadable templates, delete the guide layers before saving your files. If you don’t delete them, they’ll show up on the print.
4. Remove template guidelines
   When using our templates, turn off the guideline layers before saving your files. If you don’t turn them off, they’ll show up on the print.

Tips for best results

• 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.
• 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 under base used during printing. Leave these areas fully transparent when designing for black garments.

DTG disclaimers

• We don’t print white ink on white shirts. That means if you upload a white graphic for a white garment, nothing will print. We recommend using different colors on white garments.
• Slight discrepancies in print placement are possible with DTG.
• We can’t guarantee 100% color accuracy if your files haven’t been adjusted using our DTG color swatches.
