Yes, there can be a visible difference between 150 and 300 DPI, but it depends on the printing method and the size of the product. DPI stands for “dots per inch” and helps determine how sharp your design will look when printed.
We recommend a minimum of 150 DPI for fast processing and quality results. That said, submitting your artwork at 300 DPI is perfectly fine and may even result in sharper, more detailed prints.
When higher resolution matters
All-Over Synthetic (sublimation printing)
All-Over Synthetic products are created using sublimation printing, where your design is heat-pressed into the fabric. This process slightly blends and smooths out fine details, so 150 DPI is usually sufficient for simple shapes, large elements, or color gradients.
However, if your design includes fine lines, small details, or text, we recommend 300 DPI. In our tests, higher-resolution files tend to produce noticeably crisper, more detailed results on sublimation (All-Over Synthetic) products.
Mugs
Our mug templates support up to 300 DPI. Since mugs are usually viewed up close, we recommend using high-resolution files, especially if your design has fine details.
T-shirts and other apparel
For best results, we recommend using a resolution of at least 150 DPI for DTG products and 300 DPI for DTFlex products. It helps your designs come out crisp and clear, especially for smaller elements like text or intricate graphics.
Paper products
For best results, especially with detailed designs or text, aim for 300 DPI. Higher resolution files help your posters, wall art, and other paper items look crisp, clean, and professional.
