Serif fonts should be at least 18 point and sans serif fonts
should be at least 12 point. All reversed lines should be at
least 2 point. Image resolution should be 300 dpi or greater
and 100% size or larger than imprint size. Sublimation is
permanent and washable. Your art can be setup in RGB

wish us to try to match, please check with factory before
placing the order. Be aware that many PMS colors can’t be
matched with perfect accuracy using four color process
printing. Sublimation is designed to produce a “pleasing”
representation of the original. Any time color is critical, we
recommend a pre-production sample.
