How do I create a pixel graphic (e.g. from a photo) that meets all requirements for digital printing?

Printing on T-shirts

In order to have a digital image printed successfully on a product, your design must:

• be saved as .png, .jpg, .bmp, or .gif
• be at least 200 dpi
• not be larger than 4000 x 4000 pixels
• not be larger than 10 MB

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 model. However, the design on your computer screen appears in the RGB colour 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.
