Gather Your Files and Follow Specifications
To prepare artwork for printing, collect all necessary files—including your main design, logo files, and color references. Apparel Screen printing works best with vector formats like AI, EPS or PDF for crisp, scalable lines and color separations. If you’re sending raster images, ensure they’re at least 300 DPI and saved as PNG or TIFF with transparent backgrounds. Include Pantone or CMYK color values so the printer can match inks accurately. Well-prepared files reduce printing errors and save valuable time during production.
Packaging for Smooth File Transfer
Once your artwork is formatted correctly, bundle everything into a single ZIP folder labeled with your project name. Include a PDF or screenshot of your design mockup so the printer can review layout and placement easily. Add a simple text document describing shirt color, print method, and any special instructions (like fabric type or ink finish). Label files clearly—like “Front_Print.ai,” “Sleeve_Logo.eps,” etc.—to avoid confusion during setup. This organized approach helps SOYT Printing move smoothly from artwork to production without back-and-forth delays.
