Print Quality Graphic Wizards! - Dutchgrown Seeds - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Dutchgrown · 03-26-2010, 09:06 PM

Going to need some graphics, rather quickly. And since there are so many incredibly talented members here,
what better place to find what I'm looking for!

Perhaps I can get some assistance? Seeds and cannabis I know....computer graphic designs, certainly not my forte!!

The graphics will be used for some T-shirts I'll be doing for the IC Mag 420 Cup as gifts to friends, and perhaps
other items, not sure yet. T-Shirts will have a left chest placement, not a full front or back graphic.

But the time is quite slim for me to get it all organized/printing time/etc.

The one made by TheCheeseMan I like a lot.....(see below). BTW, TheCheeseMan...the graphic below is not of high enough
quality to use in printing...not enough dpi (I'm told by a printing co)....please see some specs I placed below for
printing use.

I'd like to keep graphics in a theme of something magical, mystical, Celtic, Arthurian, female warriors type of thing...so any
help from you all is greatly appreciated.

Oh, and no 'strain specific' graphics at this time.

Any selection(s) used for printing will carry a DGS reward for the artist.

I'd say there's about a (+ or -) one week window of opportunity for this project ....so kindly keep that in your creative minds.

Specifics: (text below from printing sites I've researched)

These are the file types most t-shirt printing co's accept:

We support a variety of file formats for uploaded designs.
Adobe Acrobat Document (*.pdf) (recommended)
Adobe Illustrator Artwork (*.ai) (recommended)
Adobe Photoshop Image (*.psd) (recommended)
Bitmap Image (*.bmp)
CorelDRAW Image (*.cdr,*.clk)
GIF Image (*.gif)
JPEG Image (*.jpg,*.jpeg)
Microsoft Publisher 2003 Document (*.pub)
Microsoft Word 2003 Document (*.doc,*.docx)
PCX Image Document (*.pcx)
PICT Image (*.pic,*.pict,*.pct)
PNG Image (*.png)
PostScript File (*.ps)
Windows Enhanced Metafile (*.emf)
Windows Metafile (*.wmf)

Full Bleed Size
12.00" x 12.00"
305mm x 305mm
2100 x 2100 pixels

Document Trim Size
12.00" x 12.00"
305mm x 305mm
2100 x 2100 pixels

Resolution:
Resolution refers to the number of dots per inch (dpi), or the amount of detail the image has. Most documents prepared for upload should be a minimum of 300 dpi at 100% of the final print size. Higher resolution means a more detailed image, and also larger file and longer upload time.

CMYK vs RGB:
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) are the colors used in the printing process, whereas RGB (Red, Green and Blue) are the colors used by screen displays such as your monitor. Please note that JPEG files are almost always in RGB.
Your document should be created in CMYK mode so that the colors that you see on the screen most closely match the final printed product. If you create your document in RGB, the colors in your printed product may vary slightly. Many of the bright values produced by your monitor cannot be reproduced in print.

Thank guys/gals for any help here!!

Let's see what ya got!!!

TheCheeseMan · 03-26-2010, 11:15 PM

thanks DG!

If you'd like i can re-do that image in 3 or 400 ppi (pixels per inch). You just have to e-mail me the hi-res pics that were used, and i can apply the same effects to those higher quality images. That picture above however, will print in high quality but at about 1/5 the size.
Everything uploaded into the albums gets compressed if its too big. If you want the same pic in hi res just let me know, the only problem is: im not sure if you have the origional warrior pic in hi res?

i know its not to spec but i just had to toss this one out there...
