Preparation of designs for printing
We accept files in JPG, PNG, TIFF and PDF formats.
It is best to prepare files in RGB space, but we also print with CMYK.

- RESOLUTION: Minimum 72 DPI, Recommended: min. 150 DPI
- FORMAT: JPG
- SIZE: 1:1
By default we print at a scale of 1:1, if you want a different size, read the section below How to name the files?
How to print reports?
The report is a graphic that connects on each side, so we can duplicate it across the width and length, so you can’ t see where it starts and ends. As a result, it creates one large pattern from which you will punch out pieces for sewing.
Note – if the following steps are too complicated for you, go to Send files and describe to us in the message box what you want to print, and we will help you prepare the order and files.
If you want to order panels, click on How to print panels.
To prepare your files for printing, follow the intructions below. For example, if you have a file named:
edit its name (right-click on the file name and select “Rename” from the menu) according to the following scheme:
for example uploading the following file:
will make us print 3 running meters of the sunshine file for you on a 250g sweatshirt (french terry 250g).
Change the size of the report / panel
If you want to print the file in a scale other than 1: 1 , write the expected size in its name:
for example uploading the following file:
will make us print 3 running meters of sunshine file for you, with report size 25x20cm on single jersey 220g fabric.
How to print the panels?
Panels are elements that are not connected to each other – for example, a square with a pattern for a pillow, a tag or a panel for sewing a bag.
Note – if the following steps are too complicated for you, go to Send files and describe to us in the message box what you want to print, and we will help you prepare the order and files.
If you have a panel named:
edit its name (right-click on the file name and select “Rename” from the menu) according to the following scheme:
for example uploading the following file:
will cause us to print for you 30 pieces of 250×250 mm sunshine panels on 250g (french terry 250g) sweatshirt.
The exact structure of the name is very important, because based on it the system sets the size and number of times the file is repeated.
If you want to print several sizes of panels, put them in catalogs with sizes, such as 250×250, 300×500.
You do not need to count the number of meters, after receiving the files we will send you an order with calculations for approval.
