COLOR

The 10th Anniversary color scheme will be RED, WHITE, and BLUE.  Please create your design for either a red shirt with white and/or blue ink OR a blue shirt with white and/or red ink.  Please do not use the color of the shirt in the actual design since it will not be printed.  Do not use more than two colors of ink (white/blue or white/red) in your design.

 

DESIGN TIPS FOR MULTICOLOR SHIRT PRINTING 

• Avoid large solid-filled backgrounds. DTF transfers sit on top of the fabric, so a big block of color can feel stiff or plasticky. Let the shirt color breathe where you can.

• Use a transparent background in your file. Do not include a white or colored canvas behind your design.

• Keep text above 6pt and lines above 0.5pt for the cleanest results.
