How do I know
if my artwork
is Print Ready ?
There are 2 different types of file structures you can provide your artwork in, depending on that, you just have to check if your file meets the provided requirements for each.
IMAGE OR ILLUSTRATION
If your file is a plain image that contains different shapes and color shades it must meet our minimum requirements of resolution quality.
What should my file format be?
Your image needs to be a high resolution 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) JPG, PNG or TIF.
What size should my image be?
It should be at least 3000 pixels or more in it's origional smallest dimension (height or width). This is the minimum pixel resolution for a clear print. Images chosen from google are typically under copyright restrictions and do not meet the minimal requirements for HD quality.
*Is important to point out that any background your image may have is going to be printed on your custom fishing shirt.
VECTOR FILE
Vector files are highly editable and are great for printing, we only have to make sure your file has the requirements to help us manipulate it freely.
What should my file format be?
We work with industry standard formats such as: .ai, .eps, vector pdfs & high resolution .psd files
Are there any specifications?
All links that may be present in your file must be embedded, and all letters in your design must be outlined in vector format as well, so we have no issue of missing fonts when adapting the design to your custom fishing shirt.
Low Resolution Image File
A low resolution file will not print well when printed on your custom fishing shirt, and will produce a pixelated blurry image
Vector Image File
A vector file will maintain a sharp and crisp edge when adapted to your custom fishing shirt and will produce a clean and consistent image
