You have just created a wonderful design that you would like to print on one of our fabulous fabrics.

So what do you do next?

To start, please check that your artwork is saved correctly. Our printing specifications are:

Resolution: 180 dpi (We accept files between 180 – 300 dpi.)
Color Mode: RGB Color  8 bit (You may have created your design in CMYK Color Mode but this will need to be changed to RGB. A slight colour shift may occur)
Advanced – Color Profile: Adobe RGB (1998) (We recommend this as it brings out the best colours in the printing)
Flatten your artwork. It is really important that your file does not have any layers in it. When transferring your files over the Internet they are vulnerable to corruption.
Save as: tiff or jpeg. We can only accept these file formats for our specialist software.

Check the size of the file. Both physical and memory.
Look at the Document size. This is the best guide to see how big your print will be. This can also be checked when you upload through our website. The rulers on the top and down the side show in centimetres how much space your artwork will take up on the fabric.
Also check how large the digital file is. We accept files up to 80Mb through our website. Keeping your files below this will ensure that the file arrives quickly and safely through to our CAD team.

Some hints on keeping your files smaller.

Use less filters when designing.
Use Adjustment layers to edit your image.
Keep the Resolution down to 180 dpi.
Flatten the layers.

If you are struggling to achieve a smaller file then you can contact us for a Large File Upload Link. This is password protected and you won’t be able to check the position on the fabric or the size of your file but you will be able to transfer it over the Internet. Just email or phone 01386 861122 for the latest password and link. Remember: The larger the file, the longer it will take for you to upload it and for us to download it. Which can also mean it is more likely to get corrupted during the process.
