NOPE 
YEP PIXEL MUSH
What happened: A tiny web image got stretched to shirt size.
Fix it: Start big. Build at the real print size at 300 DPI, or upscale it before you upload.
CLEAN IT UP, BUTTERCUP.
Heather here (and Bela, supervising). We print exactly what you upload, every pixel, every speck, every “oops.” Here’s how to send us the good stuff.
FILE TYPE PNG 
BACKGROUND TRANSPARENT 
RESOLUTION 300 DPI 
BUILD IT AT ACTUAL SIZE 
COLOR MODE RGB 
INK DOESN’T GUESS.
Our printers are talented. Not psychic.
Blurry on screen? Blurry on the shirt. White box behind your design? Say hi to the white box on your shirt. We print it exactly the way you send it, so give your art a two-minute once-over first. Your shirts (and your mood) will thank you.
HEATHER’S RULE
Zoom in to 300%. If the edges look fuzzy, blocky, or melty up close, they’ll look worse printed.
DON’T MAKE US PRINT THAT.
The four usual suspects, and how to fix each one in about a minute.
NOPE YEP 
NOPE 
YEP THE FAKE CHECKERBOARD
What happened: AI tools and image searches love a “transparent” background that’s really a picture of a checkerboard. We will print every little square.
Fix it: Remove the background for real and save as PNG. Drop it on a black layer to make sure.
NOPE 
YEP THE BOX
What happened: A JPG or a white background. JPGs can’t be transparent, so that box comes along for the ride.
Fix it: Delete the background and export as a transparent PNG.
NOPE 
YEP THE HAZE
What happened: Soft shadows, glows, and faded edges. Half-see-through pixels print as a cloudy halo.
Fix it: Keep edges crisp and opacity at 100%. Want a shadow? Make it solid or halftone.
QUICK HITS.
Small stuff that causes big sighs.
SKINNY LINES?
Hairline strokes and tiny text can break or lift. Give them some muscle before you press.
EXTRA SPACE?
Crop tight to your design. Empty space still takes up film, and you pay for film.
A SCREENSHOT?
Screenshots are low-res and pick up stuff you didn't mean to send. Use the original file.
THE 3-STEP RESCUE.
No Photoshop? No problem. Two free tools do the heavy lifting.
01
UPSCAYL (FREE)
SIZE IT UP
Small or blurry? Drop it into Upscayl and upscale 2–4x. Sharper edges, no melting.
02
PHOTOPEA (FREE) OR PHOTOSHOP
KILL THE BACKGROUND
Use the Magic Wand on solid backgrounds, then hit Delete. Check it on a black layer for leftover specks.
03
PHOTOPEA OR PHOTOSHOP
