First of all, please make sure your image is suitable for the decoration method you’re using.
For screen-printing, we can work with black and white photographs or illustrations with clear, distinct areas of color as opposed to multiple shades and tones. You can submit images for screen-printing that contain half-tones (also known as gradients). Vector art files will help you avoid additional art fees.
The best types of images for our service are vector illustrations created in programs such as Adobe Illustrator and Corel DRAW because they create art in a vector format.
Please outline all fonts.
Raster images, such as those created in Adobe Photoshop and Corel Photo-paint should be high-resolution. The final product won’t look good unless your image is at least 300 dots per inch (DPI) at the actual size you want it printed.
For embroidery, images must only contain clear, distinct areas of color. Subtle tones and fades can’t be embroidered. Your file does not need to be in a vector format for digitizing. Some common file types are jpeg, gif, tiff, BMP, and pretty much everything else.
Of course, we will work with whatever you have from sketches to other file types. The information above will help you prepare your file properly when possible.
When saving your file, please remember to convert your text to outlines or curves. This will prevent any missing font issues.
It is always a good idea to create your art actual size (the size you want it to print). This is especially important for non-vector images.
This refers to printing dots or percentages of a color. A color that is 50% will only allow 50% of the ink to flow through the screen generating a lighter shade of the color. Many artists use halftones to create multi-color effects while using 1 color and saving money. These shades do not print smooth as they do on your ink jet printer, but rather grainy or dotted.
Note: Halftones appear smooth on your monitor but screen print as dots that are more visible as you look closer.
Graphic images taken from web pages are generally 72 dpi and not suitable for printing. Images that are not vector-based need to be at least 150 dpi.
When designing please use PANTONE colors, not CMYK.
