DTF Artwork Setup
- All CMYK graphics require white ink behind them.
- White ink must be supplied as a spot colour named White Ink.
- Set the spot colour to overprint.
- Place white ink layer above CMYK in Illustrator.
- White-only areas should be created using the White Ink spot colour.
- Minimum font size 10pt, minimum stroke thickness 1pt
- You may impose your artwork within the 580x1000mm and gang as you wish
- If providing 1up artwork we can gang it for you, but we can’t gang multiple kinds of artwork on 1 sheet.
- We can certainly gang your multiple kinds artwork for you or add white ink using artFIX – select the option in Hublink or speak to the Orders Team
