Artwork Guidelines
Printing Small Details With DTF
To ensure fine details in your image print clearly make sure that the smallest areas are at least as thick as the minimum print tolerance.
Save Your Artwork At The Exact Size You Want It To Print
For example, if you select an 11" x 11" sheet but upload an image that is 10" x 10", we will print your image at the 10" x 10" size you uploaded.
Don't Mirror Your Image
Submit your artwork as you want it to look on your garment. Our artists will mirror the image for you.
