Image Quality for DTF Prints

Please read before uploading your design — following these tips will help make sure your prints come out looking their best!

1. File Type:
Use a PNG file with a transparent background if possible. 

2. Resolution:
Your image should be 300 DPI or higher to keep it clear and sharp. Low-quality images can look blurry or pixelated. Please refer to best practice below.

Best practices:

• For bulk orders of text-based designs, stick with 600 or more DPI 
• For photo-realistic designs or small lettering, increase to 1200 DPI 

3. Size:
Make sure your design is the right size for your print. Stretching a small image can make it look fuzzy.

4. Colors:
Use RGB colors when saving your design for the best color match when printing.

5. Backgrounds:
Please make sure the background has been removed, make sure your image has a transparent background. 

6. Quality Check:
We review every file before printing. If there’s an issue with your image quality, we’ll contact you before we print.

This is not an item you can purchase—it’s simply here to help you understand how image quality affects DTF printing. Clear, high-resolution artwork will always produce the best results. If an image is blurry, grainy, or low-resolution, the print will look the same. Think of this as a quick guide to help you choose or upload the right kind of artwork so your final products look their best.
