My graphic uploaded, but it looks blurry...
You are actually looking at a modified version of your graphic "formated to fit this screen". The design software has taken your graphic and sized it down based on the assumption that you have submitted "full size art".  The blurryness is usually the result of low resolution art being uploaded.  While this art is usually ok for digital printing, it may not fly with screen printing. We may be able to fix it for you.
 
How can I tell if My graphic will look ok with DTG printing?
If you can print it out on your home printer and it looks ok, than it will print on DTG.  If you print your graphic and it looks choppy, that is how it will look on your printed shirts.
 
My graphic still has white stuff on it even though I clicked "remove white."  Will that be part of the print?
No.  the white specs you see are actually "not white" which is why you still see them.  Our graphic Dept will make sure none of those end up on your shirts.
 
Will my graphic have the [pick a color] box around it?
No, we only print the colors you have specified in the layers.  If you have a red graphic on a black background, and you don't want the black to print, simply upload the design as a 1 color design.
