Nice video. There is a much easier way to do this in Photoshop. I'm not a graphic designer. I taught myself, though. I still just learned something. Great video. NYC.
I’m having freelance artists create some designs, I would want the knockout effect as all my shirts will be black. What type of digital file format is best to get a knockout transfer?? Vector? 300dpi PNG? I will be outsourcing my DTFs so I want to make sure the company who makes them can easily work with my digital design. Please advise before I pay the artist; don’t want to pay for an unusable design. Thanks!
We prefer to print with 300 DPI Vector artwork. Png will work as long as you don't have to resize the image bigger. Make sure your DTF printer has perfect calibration and to contract by 1 so you get all the halftones to show and not any white.
As a DTF Printer, the printer has to prepare the artwork by added a white layer to the rip program. Usually the white layer is contracted by 1-2 so that the white layer is smaller (contracted) and is not visible after pressing. With halftone artwork, it is important to contract by 1 so that you don't lose those details. If you are NOT the printer, then this is something the end user usually doesn't have control over.
@@transfersuperstars thank you I’m watching your videos a lot and feel like I can trust ability to handle my DTFs And seems like you’ll be my go to when ordering transfers! I really feel you know how to get a good transfer with great results. I don’t want a poor final product. Lastly, I watched you videos on best home presses, do you have affiliate link for the presses? And offers for printing I’m just about ready to
Of course. Affinity and Photopea are like carbon copies of Photoshop minus all the bloat that Adobe has added over the last 5 years. The edit in this tutorial is using features that have been in Photoshop since like the 90s.
@pixelbat would you care to share the process? I've tried to search videos/tutorials but there's not really anything catered to Affinity photo. The ones I've seen don't seem to be quite effective or the same as photoshop. Steps for semi-transparent pixels, bitmap and halftone filter etc seem to be very different but I'm still learning how to navigate Affinity photo
