Expert guides on seamless patterns, color separation, and textile production techniques.
Fabric yield determines quote accuracy, ink costs, and whether a job finishes on time. This guide breaks down the exact formulas for calculating yield by garment, repeat size, waste factor, and roll inventory — with examples from real print runs.
TIFF is the universal textile standard, but every format has a role. This guide compares TIFF, PSD, PNG, JPG, and PDF for textile print production — with real color-space, compression, and compatibility trade-offs.
Preparing artwork for textile printing means hitting four targets: resolution (300 DPI at final size), color space (CMYK or spot Pantone, not sRGB), file format (TIFF or PSD flattened), and a clean, tileable repeat. Miss any one and you pay for the reprint. This guide walks through each, with the numbers real production shops actually check.
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.
