Expert guides on seamless patterns, color separation, and textile production techniques.
A seamless pattern for wallpaper and one for fabric are not interchangeable, even when they start from the same artwork. This comparison breaks down how repeat size, scale, resolution, and match type differ between wallpaper repeats and fabric printing, so you set each one up correctly.
Increasing image resolution to 300 DPI for fabric is a pixel problem, not a metadata switch you can flip. This guide covers the exact pixel math, AI upscaling step by step, and the honest limits on when lost detail can and cannot be recovered.
Every textile file starts with one question: what DPI does this need to be? The answer changes based on the print process — digital textile printing needs 300 DPI at final size, rotary screen wants 360, flat screen is comfortable at 150–200. This guide explains why each process has a different target and how to calculate pixels for any print size.
Compare digital textile printing and traditional screen printing for your next fabric project. Understand the cost, quality, minimum order, and design considerations for each method.
