How do I create a pixel graphic (e.g. from a photo) that meets all requirements for digital printing?
Printing on T-shirts
So that we can print your design as a digital transfer print on clothing, your design (e.g. photo) must:
- be saved as .png, .jpg, .bmp, or .gif
- have a minimum resolution of 120 dpi
- and a maximum size of 3000 x 3000 pixels
The exact description of the printable area can be found in the product details. Please note that the design size should fit the print area. You can always make the design smaller - that won't change the image quality. But enlarging designs is not possible, since the images will quickly become "pixelated".
Tips for Shop Partners
Pixel graphics are printed with Digital Printing with the CMYK colour **US**color** model. However, the design on your computer screen appears in the RGB colour **US**color** model. This may lead to differences in the appearance of the colours. We recommend checking the appearance of your pixel graphic in both CMYK and RGB colour models.
We also recommend using the file format .png, especially for designs with a transparent background .
Printing on Mugs and Badges
The requirements listed above also apply for mugs and badges. The minimum graphic resolution should be no less than 400 dpi.
