• First, make sure to back-up your original file before making any changes.
• Resize your image to the size you want on your t-shirt. It is important to make your image 100% to print size.
  Max Image Size (Front or Back) is 40cm(W) X 60cm(H) however this may not be possible on some t-shirts.
• It is important to convert fonts to curves or create outlines for all text.
• Check that all pixel based fills are set to a minimum of 300dpi.
• Remove any background layers that are not be to printed.
• Save your image (as a copy) in a .AI(CS3) or .EPS for other programs, ready to email to us.

• For quality results we recommend using Adobe Photoshop® file .PSD(CS3) or files that support a transparent background like .PNG or .GIF.
• Be sure to back-up your original file and make the following changes to a copy of that original file.
• Resize your image to the size you want on your t-shirt. Your image must be 100% to print size.

• We will say it again, your image size should be 100%. If you are not sure on size, your artwork should always be larger rather than smaller. Minimising the design is possible without losing image quality, however, when you make enlargements, your designs will appear "pixelated".
• It is reccomended that your file be set to a minimum of 200dpi. 300dpi or more is better.
• Remove any background layers that are NOT printed.
• Save your image (as a copy) in a .PSD(CS3), .PNG, .GIF or .EPS for other programs, ready to email to us.
• Files such as .JPG (.JPEG), .TIFF or .BMP that don't support transparent backgrounds can be used, if the background colour is white or black and the printing is on a white or black t-shirt. The background colour must match the t-shirt colour for these files to work effectively. Our Rip software can ignor white or black in a design.

DO NOT SUPPLY artwork as PC file formats such as MS Word, Powerpoint or doc, files. PDF files are recommended for viewing purposes, therefore, some PDF file may not be suitable for printing.
DO NOT SUPPLY hard copy artwork as letterheads, business cards or printed brochures, as these do not have high enough resolution to reproduce for t-shirt printing and usually have to be redrawn at additional cost.

If you are unable to provide the artwork required by tshirtprinting.com.au please contact our office, our staff should be able to help you. Tshirtprinting.com.au operates its own artwork and design service that may be used if necessary. Artwork and/or artwork adjustments are charged at a rate of $60.00 per hour or part thereof.
