Question
What file formats are accepted for T Shirts?
Answer
For the sharpest T-shirt prints, submit artwork that holds up when scaled to full size on fabric. Vector files are best for logos, text, and hard-edged graphics because they stay crisp at any size, while high-resolution raster files suit photographic art.
- Best for logos and text: AI, EPS, or vector PDF with fonts outlined.
- Best for photos: high-resolution PNG or PDF at 300 DPI or higher at final print size.
- Color: build in CMYK for accurate on-shirt reproduction.
- Transparency: use PNG when you need a clean background knockout.
Avoid low-resolution JPEG art, which prints blurry or blocky on fabric.
