What looks good on your screen will not necessarily look good printed.
As a general rule, there are four main factors that determine image quality:
1. The quality of the recording device (camera's sensor, scanner).
2. The size (in pixels) of the digital image.
3. The format the digital image is stored in (JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, etc.).
4. The "eye" of the artist
Here are some guidelines to help you select the best possible image file:
Your actual results will vary based on the pixel size of your picture, file format choice and options, and any zooming performed on the image. The more pixels your picture has, the higher quality of print that can be produced from it. The file format you choose to save your picture as determines whether or not some of your image is 'lost' when saving it.
Below is a list of the types of Photo Apparel, the size your image or design will appear on each, and the image file resolution recommended. You may use a larger or smaller image than reccomended, but smaller images may result in a poor quality print.
Photo T-Shirts: Your photo or design, plus the template, will be printed up to 8" tall and 10" across. For a good, clear image, we reccomend the file be 2400 x 1920 or larger.
Photo Sweatshirts: Your photo or design, plus the template, will be printed up to 8" tall and 10" across. For a good, clear image, we reccomend the file be 2400 x 1920 or larger.
