Want to create vibrant, eye-catching apparel with photorealistic designs, gradients, or intricate details? Full-color transfers are the way to go! At Whitefish Printing, we use high-quality transfers to bring your artwork to life on a variety of garments. This guide will walk you through the design process, ensuring your creations translate beautifully onto your chosen products.

Why Choose Full-Color Transfers?

Full-color transfers offer several advantages over traditional printing methods:

  • Unlimited Colors: Achieve photorealistic images, gradients, and intricate designs with ease.

  • Exceptional Detail: Capture fine lines and small text with clarity.

  • Versatility: Decorate t-shirts, hoodies, bags, and more.

  • Durability: Enjoy long-lasting prints that can withstand repeated washing.

Designing for Full-Color Transfers at Whitefish Printing

Follow these steps to create artwork that's perfect for our full-color transfer process:

  1. File Format:

    • Submit your artwork in vector formats like .AI, .EPS, or .PDF for optimal scalability and sharpness.

    • High-resolution raster images (.PSD, .TIFF, .PNG) are also acceptable, but ensure they are at least 300 DPI.

  2. Resolution:

    • Maintain a minimum resolution of 300 DPI to avoid pixelation and ensure sharp details in your final print.

  3. Color Mode:

    • Design in CMYK color mode for accurate color representation during the transfer printing process.

  4. Color Vibrancy:

    • Keep in mind that colors might appear slightly less vibrant on the final product due to the transfer process.

    • Adjust colors and increase contrast in your design to compensate for this potential difference.

  5. Fine Details:

    • While full-color transfers can handle intricate designs, extremely fine lines or small text might be challenging to reproduce accurately.

    • Ensure that critical elements are not too delicate to avoid loss of detail during the transfer process.

  6. Transfer Type:

    • We offer a variety of transfer types to suit different fabrics and applications.

    • Discuss your project with our team to determine the best transfer type for your needs.

  7. Communication is Key:

    • Our experienced team is here to help you every step of the way.

    • Contact us with any questions or concerns about your design or the transfer process.
