Artwork & color
Transparent backgrounds & unwanted borders
Make sure only the parts of your artwork you want printed are in the file.
A background can become part of the print
A white rectangle inside an image is artwork, even when it blends into a white page on your screen. It may print as a visible panel on a darker shirt.
If you want the shirt color to show around the design, use a file with real transparency where the upload tool supports it. Renaming a file to PNG does not remove an existing background.
Check the edges
Preview the file over both a light and dark background. Look for pale halos, jagged cutouts, leftover pixels, and unwanted margins. Keep intentional white ink details rather than removing every white area.
If the artwork includes soft shadows or fading edges, ask us how they are expected to print on the selected garment. Transparency and shirt color can change their appearance.
Confirm before approval
Tell us whether the background should print. Check the proof on the actual shirt color and make sure any outer frame or rectangle is intentional.
Keep the original file in case a cleanup is needed. Any artwork preparation service or cost should be discussed before you accept it.
