DTF Help Guide
Set Up Your Artwork
- Set up your DTF artwork using a CMYK profile, this will give the closest approximation to what you see on your screen.
- Set your DTF artwork up to the size you want your final print (or larger) to avoid blurring issues.
- Set your DTF artwork to 300 DPI at the start of your project to ensure your print is high quality.
- Change stroke lines to outlines (Object > Path >Outline Stroke) and text to outlines (Type > Create > Outlines).
