COLOR MATCHING NOTICE
We do not recommend printing a design color that matches or closely resembles the T-shirt color. Low contrast may reduce print visibility and affect the final appearance.
By proceeding with production, you confirm that you understand and approve this print result.


Copyright & Permissions

Tips:

• Use solid colors instead of semi‑transparent ones - Soft, see‑through areas don't print well with DTG. Stick with solid colors.
• Start with the right resolution from the beginning - Just typing a higher number into the file won't help. If it's blurry, rebuild it.
• Use true transparency on black garments - Black ink can turn gray when printed on black shirts. Leave those areas fully transparent.
• Skip thin, perfect borders - A tight border may warp slightly during printing. Avoid it for a clean finish.

DTG Disclaimers

• White ink on white garments – We do not print white ink on white garments.
• Minor stains or discoloration – Any light discoloration or small stains near the printed image will disappear after the first wash.
