Alternatively, when creating your new design you could place/paint all of the new pixels on their own layer above a solid color layer, this way you can just export the design layer, background layer hidden, as a PNG and you’re ready to go.Īll of the shirts, aside from the dye-sublimation graphic tees and contrast tanks, are printed using Direct to Garment printing technology. As you can see in the example above, a layer filled with black pixels was placed under the design layer so that we could not only see the design but also make sure it’s clean and print ready.
Create a new layer in your image editor of choice and clean up any stray pixels. Before exporting your print ready PNG file, make sure only the portions you want printed are included in that file. Like stickers, shirt designs rely on transparency to be the most effective on all shirt styles. Tldr Use transparent and clean PNG’s, also avoid gradients especially for dark shirt designs. A well placed design looks more striking and will attract more attention, which also means more potential buyers. When adjusting the uploader take a close look at how it’s positioned and aim for this upper chest area. When it comes to narrow designs, such as the “Good Vibes” seen below, you want the design to sit in the upper chest area, so again 2-2.5″ down from the top of the collar. Once you upload this transparent PNG to the uploader, there will be minimal adjusting if any. Not only is the design filling up most of the width of the template, but it’s placed towards the top. Luckily using a template set at 2400px wide by 3200px high makes this very easy, as setting your design at the top of the file will put your design in this sweet spot when printing. This is mainly due to the way the design interacts with the shape of the torso.
If you go lower than that, say 4-5″ down, you may notice the design doesn’t look as instantly striking as it does when placed closer to the collar. Generally, shirt designs are printed around 2″ down from the collar. Unlike the contrast tanks and graphic tees, most shirt designs do not cover the entire front of the shirt, so you’ll most likely be placing the design towards the collar of the shirt. However, there are some best practices when it comes to positioning. Using a template, or even the uploader, you have the ability to position the design in many ways. One of the most important things to keep in mind is how your design will be placed on the shirt. We haven't worn them yet, but they look amazing!! & I am so excited to share them with friends & family.Tldr Place your design 2″ from the collar, or directly at the top of the uploader/template. I LOVED it, so she updated everything, got the invoice over to me quickly, and I was able to pick up my shirts at 3:45 pm before I headed to the airport. I got an email back from Karima offering a super sweet (and much prettier!!) mockup that she had made just in case I liked it better than the quick one I made on my phone. The person who answered was so on top of it - she answered that question, then told me to call her back once I submitted & she would make sure it got invoiced to me quickly! (Since paying the invoice is when the production starts) Keep in mind, all of this is at like 11:30 am on a Friday. I was flying home for my Grandma's 100th birthday party, and last minute (literally the night before) had the idea that matching t-shirts would be cute, for attendees & obviously a special one for the birthday girl! I got on my phone the next morning, uploaded a pic & some text for the shirts, and called to ask them a question about adding punctuation to the text. I had a WONDERFUL (!!!!) experience with One Hour Tees.
