Here are some tips for formatting your JPEG artwork file for dye
sublimation or heat transfer production, so that it will print properly
on your custom shirt.
Color Palette
|
Shirts are printed using a dye sublimation or heat transfer
print process. This allows you to use all colors and shades
of colors in a four color spectrum. Your computer monitor
displays colors in three colors (red, green, blue or RGB).
Print your artwork on a color printer connected to your own
PC before submitting it to a professional printer to verify
that the colors appears as you wish. Printed colors on the
shirt may be similar to what you see on your computer monitor
or on paper, but not exactly the same.

Scaling
|
We do not recommend enlarging imported images much larger
than their original size. This causes the image to lose quality,
especially when printed. Note: If you are
using an image that you downloaded from a web site, it is
likely that it is 72 dpi. Typically, it is not possible to
improve the quality enough for high quality printed output. |

Image Resolution |
| Please ensure that any imported images are at least 175 dots
per inch (dpi) resolution. If they are lower than 175 dpi, they
might look slightly blurry or jagged when printed. Do not exceed
300 dpi as it does not improve the quality and unnecessarily
increases the file size. |
