DTF-Ready T-Shirt Graphic Design

Contest Brief

I need a new graphic created specifically for direct-to-film (DTF) printing on cotton T-shirts. The key requirement is that the art arrives 100 % press-ready: no outer glow, no soft halo, and absolutely nothing that will trigger the white underbase to creep beyond the edges and leave that cloudy haze.

I will supply the exact color palette once we begin; please build the file so those spot colors stay solid and vibrant when printed. Clean, crisp edges are critical, so any shadowing or blending must be handled with hard transitions or knocked-out layers rather than feathered effects. Think vivid, flat colors that pop without relying on glow tricks.

Deliverables
• High-resolution PNG (transparent background, 300 dpi, sized to 12" width)
• Editable vector source file (AI or EPS) with layers intact
• Proof mock-up on a standard tee for quick visual approval

Acceptance criteria
• No raster glow/outer glow effects present (checked on 100 % zoom)
• Colors match the provided palette in both the PNG and vector file
• All elements inside a safe print area, ready for immediate DTF upload

If you are comfortable preparing files for DTF workflows in Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or similar, I’d love to see a sample of your previous shirt work. Let’s get a clean print the first time around.

    #17 Hi! ?
    I’ve prepared this version specifically optimized for DTF printing—clean edges, no glow, and solid color separation for perfect press results. If you need any color tweaks or layout adjustments, I can refine it quickly. Thanks!
