Tips for best results

• Avoid semi-transparent designs

Semi-transparent graphics (or elements with lowered opacity) dont translate well in direct-to-film printing. We advise using solid colors, or simulating semi-transparency by halftoning.

• Have see-through elements in your design

Incorporate see-through elements throughout the design to give your print a lighter feel. This way, less ink and adhesive will be applied to the garment, creating a softer final result compared to large, solid-color designs.

Create the designs with the necessary DPI

Simply entering a new resolution value wont result in a higher-resolution print. If your graphics resolution is too low, the best solution is to make a new one.

• Skip soft edges for designs

Designs with soft edges dont work for direct-to-film prints because the small ink dots that create the effect dont have a big enough surface area to adhere to the garment. As a result, youll most likely have a rough, blotchy edge.

Customize products with high-resolution images

Direct-to-film printing is a great choice for photography designs as it allows printing full-color, high-quality images. Note that the higher the image resolution, the clearer and sharper the print result.

Direct-to-film printing disclaimers

• Due to printing specifications, the white color layer may be visible under the color ink layer.
• The print might feel slightly stiff at first but will wear in after a few washes. The feel of the print can vary based on the type of fabric the garment is made of. The breathability for these prints is relatively low.
• The direct-to-film print might develop small cracks if the garment is washed in hot water.
• We recommend ironing garments inside out as ironing the print might change its color. For example, white design elements could turn yellow.
• Ensure all lines are a minimum of 1 pt thick in Adobe Illustrator or approximately 4 px at 300 DPI in Photoshop.
• Keep all text lines at least 1 pt thick. Font sizes may vary depending on the typeface but should generally be between 10-12 pts.
• Add a background color to small text to help prevent it from peeling off.
