Is my file ready?

1. My art is 300 dpi at the size I will print it. For photos and other raster art. Blowing up a small image makes it soft. Vector art is fine at any size. Source: Siser Easy Transfers page and Stahl's page, both say 300 dpi for raster artwork.
2. The background is transparent. A white box around your art prints as a white box. Save as a PNG with transparency before you load it. Source: our gang sheet page says all backgrounds need to be transparent before loading.
3. I cropped and sized each design. The sheet prints exactly as loaded, so what you place is what you get. Trim empty space around each design. Source: our gang sheet page ("The sheet will print exactly as loaded", "Be sure to crop and size your artwork").
4. Edges are crisp, with no soft shadows or glows. Soft, semi-transparent edges print with partial ink and can look dirty or odd on the shirt. Harden them, or remove the shadow. General DTF practice, not a maker's spec.
5. My thinnest lines are at least 0.018 inch. That is about the width of 1.3 points. Thinner lines can break up or fail to stick. Source: Siser artwork guidelines for Easy Transfers (minimum line weight).
6. The size fits the garment. Our page recommends 11 inches wide for adult S to 2X, 12 for 3X, 13 for 4X and 5X, 8 for youth S to XL, and 6.5 for toddler. See sizing basics. Source: recommended sizing on our gang sheet page.
7. My art reads the right way round. Check that text is not backwards before you load it. Ask us if you are not sure whether the builder flips it.

Checked against Siser and Stahl's pages on October 26, 2026. See the Siser guide for the artwork rules in context.
