How to Prepare Artwork for Printing
DTG, DTF, and Ultra DTF are available on eligible products. Eligible tops support both front and back printing. Sleeve printing is not currently available, and pants and shorts are not printable.
Quick Answer
Print-ready artwork should match the intended print size, have enough resolution, and use a clean background when transparency is needed. The current site uses teeinblue for image upload, customization preview, and POD setup.
Why It Matters
Low-resolution files, rough edges, unwanted backgrounds, and very small details can create production issues. File preparation should be checked before a product is sent into production.
Common Misconceptions
- A large file is not always print-ready.
- A JPEG may not be suitable when transparency is required.
- Previewing artwork does not replace production review.
- Prepare artwork for front and/or back printing on eligible tops; sleeve printing is not currently available.
How It Relates to Blank Apparel
Artwork should be prepared for the garment and print area. Storiginator’s current setup supports front and back print customization on eligible top products. Pants and shorts are not currently included in POD printing.
Product Recommendations
- Use eligible tops when preparing artwork for front and back print customization.
- Review product-specific size and print placement before uploading final artwork.
- Do not prepare pants or shorts artwork for current POD production unless future support is confirmed.
