We understand designers put their heart and soul into their work, which is why we want to ensure we bring your vision to life in the most professional and efficient way possible.

Whether you are requiring beach towels, cushion covers or promotional banners – some of the most common reasons for delays are due to simple things such as submitting the incorrect file format or poor image quality.

Our mission is to bring your creativity into reality in a matter of days, not months, so below is your one-stop guide to printing your own products with Digital Fabrics.

Pre-Submission

Before you hit “save” for the final time, here are some handy tips to ensure you don’t have to do any more work and or spend any additional money on changes.

• Save your work in JPEG format. If you are using Adobe Illustrator- we recommend you “save as” a PDF first and then use Photoshop to save your file as a JPEG. This ensures you get the best possible image resolution. Whilst we can work with image resolution between 72dpi and 300dpi, we want to ensure you receive the best product possible so the higher the quality, the better.

• White is not a printable colour. Any areas in the image that are white or transparent will be the colour of the fabric.

• Black on your screen isn’t always black in print. If you are after a pure black colour ensure that all four CMYK options are set to 100%: C=100%, M=100%, Y=100%, K=100% in Adobe Illustrator and in Photoshop (Hex Code #000000, Decimal Code 0, 0, 0 ) when developing your artwork.

• Use the same software for your designs to ensure colour consistency (even within the Adobe suite). If you are using Photoshop for one design, use the same program for any additional artwork.
  
  
• Save your work in the same scale as you want it printed. If your finished product is 50x50cm, save your work as 50x50cm.
  
  
• Double check your margins and gaps.  Add any allowances for cutting and making if needed, making sure you are providing your design with appropriate margins for cutting and sewing.
