Section 1: Print Ready Images (300 DPI)
For the best print quality, all images in your gang sheet must be 300 DPI (dots per inch).
This ensures your designs are crisp, clear, and professional-looking when printed. A lower DPI can result in blurry or pixelated prints, which is why high-resolution images are essential—especially for detailed designs, logos, and text. Jo and James use both Photoshop and Canva for image creation and generating gang sheets, however there might be other options available to you.

Section 2: Print Ready Images (UV DTF & Transparency)
When preparing designs for UV DTF printing, transparency is crucial. Any part of your design that is not transparent will be printed—including unwanted backgrounds.
If your image has a white background, or white boxes around images, the printer will treat it as part of the design, and it will be printed onto the transfer. This can cause unwanted edges or blocks of color around your artwork.

- Ensure that only the parts of your design you want to transfer onto the surface are visible.
External Resources:
There are a few websites that allow image background removal for free, such as www.remove.bg however these websites do downgrade your image quality, so be aware of this limitation when creating new designs
