What differences are there in the requirements for uploading and printing images between spreadshirt.net and spreadshirt.com?

The requirements for the uploading and printing of designs are basically the same between the two platforms.

Jump to the requirements for vector graphics for .net (Europe) and for .com (North America).

Jump to the requirements for pixel graphics for .net (Europe) and for .com (North America).

There is a small, but subtle difference in how the two platforms print their Flex and Flock print designs. In both continents the individual colours are cut out from a foil, placed onto a shirt and ‘ironed’ on. The difference lies in how different colours are put together and this does have an affect on how detailed your designs can be:

Spreadshirt.net prints in layers

The different colours are placed on top of each other as separate layers and ironed on.

• Benefit: a greater level of detail is tolerated – see the minimum requirements stated for the uploaded file.
• Disadvantage: The final print is thicker due to the separate layers on the t-shirt.

Spreadshirt.com makes a jigsaw puzzle

The different areas of visible colour are cut out separately, arranged on the shirt and ironed on.

• Advantage: the final print is thin and even.
• Disadvantage: due to the level of detail - strict compliance with the minimum requirements for uploading files is necessary.
