In the advertising textile printing industry, we know that customers have a great demand for artwork service. When it comes to artwork, many customers do not know the format, the color and other requirement, therefore, we summarize some FAQs, hoping to be of some help.

1) What is the best format for artwork to provide?

The format of the artworks includes PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, PNG, TIF, TIFF, JPG, and SVG.

Digital files like AI and EPS are always preferred. They are easy for each artwork person to edit to fit the product template and mark the Pantone color.

If providing formats in JPG and PNG, please make sure they are of high resolution (Min. Resolution is 96dpi, better 200dpi at 100% Scale.), so the image can be used for printing directly. The printing effect will be bad if your image is of low resolution or too blurred.

2) Pantone(PMS) Color OR CMYK Color?

CMYK is the printing color, since CMYK color will show up differently on different computer screen, the color isn’t always printed just as how it shows in the computer. So we often use Pantone color to standardize the color.

Pantone(PMS) colors have a Pantone swatch book to check whether the color printed out is good or not. With the specific Pantone color, it is easy to match the colors to print out just how people need them.

Besides the format and color of the artwork, somewhile when our artwork person opens the design that customers send, there is a tooltip showing a font is changed, or a particular picture is missing, it is because the artwork is not digitalized and some images are not embedded.

So when designing the artwork, just make sure to digitalize all the designs, all fonts are outlined, and all images are embedded.
