File Format Requirements
Accepted File Formats
We accept the following file formats: AI, EPS, PDF (vector preferred), PNG, PSD.
Minimum resolution for raster images: 300 DPI at print size.
Color mode: CMYK for best color accuracy, though we can convert from RGB.
Vector vs. Raster
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) provide the best results as they can be scaled to any size without losing quality. Raster files (PNG, PSD) must be at least 300 DPI at the final print size.

Artwork Tips & Common Issues
Artwork Tips & Common Issues
Common issues that delay production and how to avoid them:
- Low resolution images: Ensure your artwork is at least 300 DPI at print size. Web images (72 DPI) will not print well.
- Missing fonts: Convert all text to outlines/paths before submitting to avoid font substitution issues.
- Wrong color mode: Submit in CMYK for best color accuracy. RGB files may shift in color during conversion.
- Too many colors: Screen printing works best with spot colors. If your design has gradients or photographic elements, ask us about DTF or DTG options.
- Insufficient bleed: If your design extends to the edge of the print area, include at least 0.25" bleed.
