ARTWORK ADVICE:
- Try to get the best value from your DTF printed sheet; wherever possible try to fill the sheet with as many logos / design elements as possible and avoid wasted space.
- Consider your sizing options to allow fitment of logos / design elements as efficiently as possible. For example 9.5 x 9.5cm circular logos will fit nicely on a 50 x 100cm sheet; 5 wide by 11 deep – 55 total whilst still allowing a small space between each logo. 10 x 10cm circular logos will only fit 4 wide by 9 deep – 36 total whilst allowing a space between each.
- Allow a small space between each logo / design element. The space can be very small – enough to allow you to trim your logos /design elements using a pair of scissors or a craft blade.
- Consider the size of text and its font weight (how bold or thick it is) Each font is different so use the below as a guide only:
- Light / thin typeface in black / colour – 10pt / 3mm tall
- Light / thin typeface in white – 20pt / 5mm tall
- Bold / thick typeface in black / colour – 8pt / 2mm tall
- Bold / thick typeface in white – 10pt / 3mm tall
- Avoid thin line work such as line drawings. We recommend any thin lines making up or within design elements to be no thinner than:
- White lines – 3.0mm
- Black / coloured lines – 3.0mm
- Avoid using glow effects, gradients or drop shadows around text or objects – DTF applies a solid white ink behind nay coloured pixel regardless of its opacity. So glow effects, gradients or drop shadows can appear solid after printing.
