Double Check prior to uploading:

  • All files and links should be in CMYK color mode.

  • When uploading, call out any PMS colors used. We'll make every effort to match your colors as closely as possible, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed.

  • All non-vector images/photos should be at least 75 DPI at actual print size (but not bigger than 200DPI at actual size).

  • Make sure all links and fonts are included with the upload. We recommend "Packaging" your files before uploading them.

  • Do not embed images into Illustrator

  • Account for appropriate bleed based on product specs. Typically 1/2" bleeds on all sides. However, most dye-sub fabric printing requires 2" bleeds.

  • Make sure Overprint is turned OFF on all elements in your design.

  • We recommend avoiding the use of blending effects whenever possible as they can cause unexpected results during printing.

  • Max files size for uploads is 1000MB

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CORRECTLY SET UP YOUR FILES:

Adobe Illustrator (.ai)

Before uploading your files here are a few things to double check:

  • File > Document Color Mode > CMYK

  • File > Document Setup: Make sure your file is the correct final size and includes the appropriate bleeds. Starting with Adobe Illustrator CS4 you can include bleeds in your files.

  • Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings... > Color Mode: CMYK, Resolution High: (300 DPI), Background: Transparent, Anti-alias (Checked), Create Clipping Mask (Unchecked), Preserve spot colors (Checked).

  • It's a good idea to convert all your fonts to outlines (Select Text then go to Type > Create Outlines). However, you can also send us your fonts if you choose not to convert them to outlines.

  • Package your file under File > Package.

  • You should always compress your files/folders before sending them to assure a quick upload and download, but this is especially important in Illustrator as files can easily be corrupted if not compressed.

  • You are now ready to upload.
