Is your artwork print ready?

Drop your logo and get an instant report: resolution at print size, color count, background issues, fine-line checks, and how it fits screen printing, DTG, and embroidery. Free, and it runs entirely in your browser.

What gets checked

Resolution at print size
DPI only matters at the size you print. The checker computes it from your file at your chosen width.
Color count
Spot colors are counted the way a screen printer counts screens, with anti-aliasing ignored.
Background issues
Solid white boxes, missing transparency, and leftover halos from background removal.
Fine lines
Strokes near the 1 mm embroidery minimum get flagged before they become a stitching problem.
Print-area fit
Set your printed width and we check it against the standard print area for each decoration method.
Method fit
Screen print, DTG, and embroidery each get a verdict, so you know the best route for the art.
Vector files
SVG, PDF, and AI are recognized, including embedded rasters and live-text font risks.

Common questions

What does print ready mean?

A file that reproduces cleanly at the printed size: enough resolution (or a vector), a transparent background, and artwork that suits the decoration method. The checker scores all of that instantly.

What resolution do I need?

Aim for 300 DPI at the final print size; 150 DPI still prints well. A 12 inch wide print at 300 DPI needs a file about 3600 pixels wide. Vector files (SVG, PDF, AI) scale to any size.

My file failed a check. Can you fix it?

Usually, yes. Send it with your quote anyway. We review every file by hand, flag anything that needs attention, and confirm fixes on your proof before production.

Is my logo uploaded when I check it?

No. The checker runs entirely in your browser. Your file only uploads when you attach it to a design or quote request.
