Design Guidelines

Art design for screen printing is very different from any other type of design. This is due in large part to the inherent limitations of the screen printing process. In addition, the size of the designs necessitates the use of vector art as opposed to pixel based art. Blowing up art to fit on the full back of a t-shirt, or similar garment, (13.5″ x 18″) requires crisp and exact lines.

General rules for submission: The general rules for submitting artwork are as follows:

• The art can be submitted in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, or ProCreate
• The thinnest lines cannot be less than 0.25 point
• There can be no gradients, shadows, or color tints
• All text should be converted to outline

File Programs and Format: Designs for clothing require the vector art format due to the necessity to blow up and resize art work. If you can provide a vector file that would be best, if not, a high quality jpg will work. If the file is bigger than 1 Mb it should be zipped
