Design to File Prep
Everything starts with your shirt design idea. Whether it’s a hand-drawn sketch or a digital creation, that artwork must be converted into the correct format—often as vector files for screen printing or high-res PNGs for DTG. Production teams then check sizing, color layers, and alignment, making sure elements like registration marks and bleed margins are spot-on. Preparing your file correctly sets the stage for precise, high-quality outputs that match your vision.
Printing and Curing
Once the artwork is stage-ready, it moves to printing. For screen printing, specialized mesh screens are exposed with your design before ink is pressed through the mesh onto fabric. In DTG printing, printers spray ink directly onto the shirt using precise, digital nozzles. After printing, each shirt is cured using heat—typically through conveyor dryers or heat presses—to bond ink to fabric fibers. Matched with the right temperature and timing, curing ensures prints don’t wash out and stay vibrant through countless wears.
