Artwork Requirements for Supacolour or UltraColour Printing

Last Updated: Wednesday 19th July 2023 By Rebecca Fraccaro

Your artwork is very important. If the design is low quality chances are the finished print will be also. If you need help with anything in this section. Send us the best file you have, we will be glad to help you.

The technical term for the file we need is a "vector" file. This can be saved in .ai, .eps or .pdf format.

What are Vector Graphics?
Vector graphics are composed in programs like Adobe Illustrator, Corel DRAW, Macromedia Freehand or Inkscape.

The following information is technical in nature, if you are not sure what this means, please send us the best file you have an we will be glad to help you.

The Ideal File Format For Supacolur Artwork

  • Be sure to back-up your original file or 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.
    Print price brackets: 6cmWx6cmH; 10cmWx10cmH; 21cmx14cm (WorH); 29cmx21cm (WorH); 42cmx29cm (WorH)
    Max Adult Image Size (Front or Back) is 29cm x 42cm, W or H - only up to 35cmW may physically fit on an Adult tee.
  • It is important to convert all your fonts to curves or to create outlines for all text used. Otherwise send us a copy of the type font (TTF). 
  • Where half-tone images, blends or raster files that are part of the artwork they should run from 5% minimum colour to 80% maximum colour. It is important to include all embedded/Photoshop images with Illustrator files.
  • Adobe Illustrator is our preferred file type. All other programs should be saved as a .EPS file.
  • Hoeever, it may be possible to use a Raster (pixel based) file, if set at 100% print size and 600dpi - review of the file is a must.

 

If you are unable to provide the artwork required by TSPA, please contact us or alternatively we operate our own artwork and design service that may be used if necessary.
