Art Guidelines
Accepted Filetypes
In order to ensure that your products are the best quality, please adhere to these guidelines when submitting your own custom artwork.
Vector Graphics
The preferred format for submitted graphic artwork to be used in screenprinting is a vector. Vector images consist of points, shapes, curves, and other forms of line on a plane characterized by mathematical equations. These images are scalable, which means that no matter how large you increase the image within the native graphic art program, such as Adobe Illustrator, it will not lose resolution.
This is not to be confused with a raster image, as those files are pixel-based and will lose quality the larger you make artwork. Adobe Photoshop is a raster image program.
When preparing to export your file, please make sure that your artwork is separated in layers and that your text is outlined, or send the font files with your artwork.

Raster Graphics
Adobe Photoshop is the preferred program for creating raster graphics.
When submitting artwork to be printed on signs, banners, and t-shirts using the DTG (direct to garment) printer, high-resolution raster files work best.
Layers should be separated, and resolution should be 300 dpi.
