To ensure your custom merchandise looks fantastic and prints perfectly, please review and follow these essential tips when preparing your designs.

1. High-Quality Designs

• Resolution Matters: Always use high-resolution files to avoid blurry or pixelated prints. Low-res designs result in low-quality prints.
• Background Compatibility: Consider your design’s background color. For the best product range, create designs that work on both light and dark backgrounds.

2. Digital Artwork vs. Photography

• Digital Artwork: Graphics with bold, solid color blocks typically translate well to print.
• Photos: Photographic images may include gradients and subtle tones. Ensure these images are clear and processed into a computer-friendly file format.
• Supported Formats: Our system accepts JPEG, PNG, and SVG formats.

3. Image Quality Considerations

• Source Quality: Whether it’s a photo, scan, or digital creation, start with the best quality image possible.
• Lighting & Positioning: Good lighting and proper positioning are key to capturing the details in your design.

4. Color Conversion (RGB to CMYK)

• Digital vs. Print: Designs are typically created in RGB. However, printed products require conversion to CMYK color space.
• Automatic Conversion: Our system converts your files to the appropriate color profile, but note that physical printing can’t reproduce the full range of RGB colors.

5. Intellectual Property & Copyright

• Use Only Licensed or Original Content: Ensure that all elements in your design (images, logos, text) are either your original work or properly licensed.
• Avoid Infringement:
  • Do not use copyrighted material without permission.
  • Avoid replicating recognizable brand logos or icons.
  • Refrain from incorporating characters, quotes, or memes that aren’t in the public domain.
  • Celebrity images or protected photographs should not be used without clear authorization.
