Please read follow guidelines to ensure your scarf, hijab or bandana designs are ideal for production.
1. What File Formats Can You Use?
We mainly recommend three image formats: JPEG, AI and PSD. JPG- is the most common image format, and it is also the format we use the most, because its data is small and it can preserve high-quality clarity, which is more convenient for transmission. AI- If you use Adobe Illustrator, AI will be your default image format. It's great for vector image editing and can export to a variety of other formats such as PDF, TIFF/TIF or EPS, vector images in AI format is welcomed, as we can freely scale up to meet the printing requirements. PSD-If Photoshop is your software of choice, PSD will be your default file format, our digital printing machines are all compatible with Photoshop software, so PSD is also an ideal image format, if you can
preserve the layers It can be more convenient for us to adjust a single color when printing.
2. Color mode
When you're ready to create an image, you need to choose a color model. There are two basic color models RGB and CMYK, an additive principle and a subtractive principle. For prints we recommend the CMYK colour model. The most common additive model is RGB. This model uses light to create color. It combines red, green and blue to create other colors, RGB is known as the additive color model because when all three colors of light are displayed at the same intensity at the same time, they produce White. Conversely, if the light is off, it produces black. CMYK is a subtractive colour model which adds pigment in the form of ink or dye to subtract white from the image, the more colour you have the darker the final colour will be. It uses four ink colours - cyan, magenta, yellow and black. This matches perfectly with the digital printing machine's CMYK colour mode to produce optimum colour definition.
3. Size requirements
Normally the pixel of the printed picture needs to meet at least 150DPI with close size to final scarf , for example if you need a 90x90cm scarf, then when creating the image in Photoshop you can create a 92x92cm canvas that is 150 DPI or more, 300DPI is the ideal resolution. The extra 2cm is for the bleed edge, the rolled edge, or 3cm if you choose to roll the edge by hand. If you only have a photograph or a scan of an oil painting, then the image needs to meet at least one point: there are no blurred pixel dots when you enlarge the image to print size.
4, Image transfer methods
Most of the print images are large, some are over 30MB or more, as they cannot be sent directly via our website or email, you can send them securely via wetransfer or dropbox.
