For simple colors and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.

Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?įor multi-colored or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened.

It can be minimized by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. What is crocking and why might it occur?Ĭrocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colors are used.Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.

When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change color using a traffic light system and display a message. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. What's the best resolution to print in?.
