What is the required resolution for a 24x24 inch Jumbo print?

For a 24″ × 24″ print, the file must be **300 DPI** at actual size. This translates to a canvas size of **7200px × 7200px**. Upscaling low-resolution images will result in pixelation; always use vector assets or high-res raster files.

Should I use CMYK or sRGB for Brother GTX600 printing?

You should use **sRGB**. **PODpartner** calibrates its **Brother GTX600** fleet to the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile. The Innobella Textile inks have a wider gamut than CMYK, so designing in RGB ensures brighter, more vibrant prints.

What is the 'Knockout' technique in DTG?

The 'Knockout' technique involves removing the black background (#000000) from your artwork when printing on black garments. This allows the fabric to serve as the black color, eliminating the 'heavy patch' feel and ensuring a **soft hand feel** and better breathability.

How do I avoid the white 'halo' effect in DTG prints?

DTG printers struggle with semi-transparent gradients (e.g., 10% opacity), often printing them as a chalky white layer. To fix this, avoid soft fades and use **Halftones (dots)** or dithering to create gradients. Ensure pixels are either 100% opaque or 0% opaque.

Should I export my DTG files in 8-bit or 16-bit color?

Stick to **8-bit per channel** (Standard 24-bit PNG). Textile fibers cannot display the microscopic color differences of 16-bit files, and larger files only slow down RIP processing without improving print quality.

Where should I place my design for an oversized streetwear look?

For the trending 'oversized' aesthetic, place your artwork high on the **yoke** (shoulder blade area), approximately **1.0 to 1.5 inches** from the collar seam. Avoid centering it vertically, as it will look too low when worn.
