Artwork File Requirements & Guidelines

If you choose to upload your own files for us to print gang sheets or custom transfers please note the following file requirements:

Files MUST be native 300DPI with a transparent background
Required File Type: PNG, PDF, SVG, AI
Images are preferred to be saved as a CMYK file. If you submit as RGB our software will automatically convert it to CMYK so it will not be an exact match, however generally it is a very close match.
Submit individual artwork the exact size that you desire printed.

*If artwork that is submitted does not meet our DPI requirements, Armor Ink LLC is in no way responsible for images not meeting the customers expectations as we are unable to guarantee the desired results. However, we will do our best to make each order the best it can be.

General Information about our custom options:

If creating a gang sheet you can use it for a single image printed multiple times, or for as many different images as you can fit onto the selected length.
Custom transfer sizing is done by using the longest side of the image.
Armor Ink only produces DTFs and not vinyl, laser prints, sublimation, screen press, etc.

How DTFs are made:

Every one of our direct to film transfers consists of 3 parts: colored ink, white ink, and adhesive. A layer of white ink is placed behind all of the colors of your design, and this allows the colors to stay bright and crisp. The amount of white ink that is placed behind the design edge is called the “choke” setting, as it restricts how much white ink is placed on the edge of the transfer. Many DTF companies utilize a “one size fits all” approach when it comes to the choke setting, which may leave many designs looking much different than what you order. Here at Armor Ink, our printer technicians tailor the choke setting based on each order, minimizing the chance of white outlines.

Trademarks/Copyrights/Right of Refusal

ARMOR INK CAN NOT PRINT ANY TRADEMARKED/COPYRIGHTED IMAGES!

This is for your protection as well as our own, as doing so will open you and us up to the possibility of a lawsuit. Common examples of this are: NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, College sports, Disney characters, Fashion brands, watermarked images, and screenshots. If you submit these images they will be REMOVED from your order. If the entire order is comprised of copyrighted images, then the order will be canceled and refunded. If you have written permission to recreate copyrighted materials submit proof to support@ArmorInk.com BEFORE ordering.

Please note that for all images submitted and accepted, you are solely responsible for determining if any designs are trademarked/copyrighted and if there are any legal limitations for your intended usage. By purchasing, you verify that you are the original designer or have purchased the necessary licenses.
