Resolution and Spelling

All files should be a minimum of 300 DPI.  Digital photos should be taken at 4 mega-pixels or greater to provide the largest DPI possible. (Most cell phone images are not ideal).  We will not be held liable for poor resolution, pixelated or miss-spelled images you provide. Images are printed as they are received or uploaded.  We will not edit or modify artwork unless requested in advanced. Please contact us for pricing. We will let you know before printing if we see any NOTICEABLE  ISSUES.

Color Format

All files submitted should be in RGB color upon delivery. 

Artwork NOT Recommend for DTF

* Glow or transparency effects, thin, fine, or small details may have an issue with    

   adhering properly since they cannot get a good white under base needed.

* Small tiny letters and numbers without a background to support them from peeling 

    and not adhering . Stand alone lettering should .25 inches or larger.

Hot and Cold Peel Transfers

We off both types.  

Trademarks and Copyrighted images

To use any trademark and copyrighted images (company logos,  trademarks, watermarks, etc.) you will need to have written permission from the owner to use. You the customer are held liable for all images and content used. 

Returns

We are working with customized products--artwork you have submitted and/or proofs we produced that has been approved by you and thus cannot be returned.  If you received wrongly printed items which are different from the approved proof, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can remedy the matter.

FYI

* You can always call and talk to us about how to properly prepare your artwork for   

    printing. We are happy to answer your questions at no charge.

* All files must be 100% of output size desired. (ie: 6x6 product / transfer is produced  

   from a 6x6 image).

* For readability, type text should be 12 point minimum.  We can print smaller font sizes 

  but it may be harder to read. Smaller fonts may be slightly harder to press and will take  

   extra care in peeling transfers.

* Do not use low resolution images or Googled cropped images. Printing does change  

    the quality of the image. What you give us is what is printed. Colors may slightly differ 

    due to monitor and printer settings.
* When sending files via the internet (e-mail, FTP, 3rd party) file compression such as 

   Winrar / Winzip is highly suggested to assist reducing file size and assuring file integrity 

   by reducing the chance of corruption.

* If supplied files do not meet our specifications, or if there are issues with your artwork    

    and you need us to make modifications, additional fees may be applied at a rate of   

    $25 per hour.  If you modified or fixed your artwork, proofs will be sent to you for final 

    approval.
