For optimum artwork reproduction, save your artwork as 300dpi before importing it into MyStudio. It is possible though to drop down to 150dpi and still enjoy crisp, legible reproduction. In all cases, we recommend ordering a sample to assess your products before exporting to your e-store.

Please set your artwork to use the RGB colour space before saving them. Our print trials have confirmed that RGB is the optimum setting for our DTG printing process, with the best perceived reproduction of colour. Order a sample of your merchandise to assess artwork quality before taking it live on your store.

Creator Studio only accepts PNG files. Please ensure you are using the correct format when importing artwork.

Design Guidelines

Guidelines and tips to create designs leading to optimal print outcomes.

Size: 6x3cm
Colour space: RGB
Artwork colour: Pantone Cool Gray 9
Line thickness: minimum 4pt
File: PDF
Background: None/Transparent

To begin, create a new document in Adobe Illustrator that is 6x3cm, with the colour mode RGB and 300 dpi resolution.

If you are using the text-tool to create your artwork, place it inside the artboard. When you are happy with the result, right click on it to pull up a menu. Click on “Create Outlines” from the right click menu options.

Your text block should now be outlined and look similar to this image.

After converting your text or artwork to outlines, you need to set the right colour space so it will work on all the garment colours in our merch apparel collections.

In Adobe Illustrator, go to menu option:
Window -> Swatch libraries -> Colour Books -> PANTONE+ Solid Coated

Now you will have a new panel open. In the search bar type: cool gray 9.
The search should result in just one colour option to select.

In the panel where you searched for Cool Gray 9, click on the gray colour icon and you will see that the selected graphics has changed to the PANTONE Cool Gray colour.

Save your document as a PDF file and you’re ready to import it into MyStudio as your custom neck label.

Creating a neck label

Our service is white labelled throughout the entire customer journey. White labelled means that we don’t brand the product, there is space for each creator to label the product. You as creator can customise your own heat-transfer printed neck label. You can order this in MyStudio at an additional cost. 
If you are selling on the US market an additional start up fee and a lead time of 4 weeks will be added.
