10. Your Artwork Checklist: The Non-Negotiables

Before uploading any design to Printify, use this checklist:

<ul> <li>✓ Is the design a transparent PNG?</li> <li>✓ Is the resolution 300 DPI?</li> <li>✓ Are the dimensions appropriate for the print area (e.g., ~4500x5400 for a T-shirt)?</li> <li>✓ If text is used, are fonts outlined (if designing in vector software)?</li> <li>✓ Are all critical elements within the safe print area?</li> <li>✓ Have you reviewed the design on a mockup in Printify to catch any errors?</li> <li>✓ Is the file in sRGB mode, and does it still look right once printed on a sample?</li> </ul> By meticulously checking these technical specifications, you eliminate the most common printing errors, save time, and ensure that every product you sell represents the quality and professionalism of your brand.
