socialconnection Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Hi, guys can you please help? I design something in Affinity. After the design, the vector looks very great but the text looks blurry after exporting it and I'm scared cause it is for t-shirt printing. Do you guys please have an idea of how to make the text very great for T-shirt printing or for anything after exporting it? I send a design so that you can help? And I usually export my design to PNG format and 300 DPI to print on t-shirts. I also export to selected without background or to 7632 px to 6480 px.

walt.farrell Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 What format and size did you export to? PDF, SVG, and EPS (for example) are vector formats. PNG, TIFF, and JPG are raster formats.

Staff MEB Posted December 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted December 18, 2019 Your document exports correctly to PNG (7632x6480px, 300 dpi, RGB8). PNG is a raster format, the text like everything else is rasterised on export - if you zoom in the exported image enough you will start see the pixelation - that's expected. Not sure if that's you are referring by blurriness. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry; Didn't read carefully enough. As MEB says, you're exporting to a raster format file, so your vector text is rasterized. If you zoom in beyond 100% it's likely that you'll see the effects of the rasterization.

socialconnection Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hi MEB, I hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for your response. Yes, what you said is what I wanted to say. Yes, the image got pixeled. My question is How can I export it so that I can put it on a website like RedBubble for print on demand so that the text or the design does not look pixelated like that, please? Because, it looks like these websites are only accepted PNG file maybe. But do you please have an idea? I want to be able to export my vector designs and put them on a t-shirt in good quality. Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catshill Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Create a link from the rasterised version on your website to a pdf for download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hi socialconnection, RedBubble only accepts JPEG, PNG, and GIF formats. They don't accept any vector format. As long as you provide the pixel dimensions they require you shouldn't have trouble in getting a quality print. For example for "Long & Premium T-Shirts" they require 2875x3900 pixels. All product requirements - dimensions, file types, colour profiles etc - can be found on this page on their website. Some of them also have additional links to a blog post with more details/help. For example If you are interested in T-Shirts in particular check this article and this one both linked from the first page/link i indicated above. walt.farrell 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
