Shirt setup

We can accept a variety of artwork formats for your shirt design. A vector .eps, .ai or .pdf usually works great. You can also submit a high-resolution .tif, .psd or .jpg file. If you’re submitting .tif, .psd or .jpg files, please make sure they were created at a minimum of 300 pixels per inch at the size you want the design to print.

If you’re using a new version of the Adobe Creative Suite, please save back to CS3 or earlier.

If you don’t have a high-resolution file, or if you’re totally confused by all the jargon on this page, go ahead and email us. In most cases, we can walk you through setup and give you tips to get the best print for your project.
