Youth Short Sleeve T-Shirt

Please submit high resolution images in pdf. png. ai. eps. jpg or svg. format only with a recommended resolution of 300 DPI for the best printing quality. Images or designs with shading or transparent parts do not print well in DTG and we recommend using only solid colors or using the halftone method for partial transparency designs (see below for file guidelines). If you are unsure, please contact us by text or call at (877)299-0399 prior to processing your payment.

Must-follow guidelines

Submit files in PNG or JPEG format with at least 150 DPI

We recommend using PNG for designs with a transparent background. For other designs, we advise preparing files in JPEG instead.

Create files in sRGB color profile

To ensure your design looks the same when printed as it does on screen, make sure you create your print file in sRGB color profile.

Remove print file template guidelines, if applicable.

If you use our downloadable templates, delete the guide layers before saving your files. If you don't delete them, they'll show up on the print.

Tips for best results

Avoid semi-transparent designs

Semi-transparent graphics (or elements with lowered opacity) don't translate well in DTG printing. We advise using solid colors, or simulating semi-transparency by halftoning (for more information, see our video tutorial).

Create designs with the necessary DPI

Simply typing in a new resolution value into the file won't result in a higher resolution print. If your graphic's resolution is too low, the best solution is to recreate it.

Use transparency to your advantage

Black ink will appear gray on black garments because of the white underbase used during printing. Leave these areas fully transparent when designing for black garments.

Avoid borders when designing sleeve prints

We advise against using graphics with perfect borders for sleeve printing, since the print can warp slightly when the sleeve is being pulled off the pallet.

DTG disclaimers

• We don't print white ink on white garments. Any designs containing white color will have areas with no print on them.
• Light ink elements on bright-colored garments might look tinted. This is most evident on Red, Maroon, and other similarly colored garments.
• There might be slight discrepancies in print placement.
• We can't guarantee 100% color accuracy if your files aren’t adjusted using our color swatches.
