dUeS Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hey! New to the forums and new to Designing for DTG printing. I have made a distressed pattern that I want to export to PNG. The problem Im facing (not sure if it's actually a problem) is that what seems to be solid colors get transparency when I export. This is probably due to that the distress pattern is rasterised to mask? What I have read, transparency won't work on DTG printing, so basically I want to have solid colors on the pattern (where it fades) instead of transparency. Kind of like a flat JPEG if that makes any sense. This might not even be a problem, just don't want to prepare files that look like crap when printed :) Also, If someone that has experience with DTG printing could give som advice if the example file attached would be printable and look ok, that would be much appreciated :) Distress.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted June 19, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hu dUeS and Welcome to the Forums, I'm not entirely sure where you are seeing transparency on the exported PNG file. If i export your file to a PNG and then place it on top a shape in Designer thats blue, i don't see any of the blue showing in your design, which would happen if there was a transparent area. I've not done any DTG printing myself, but from what i can see, this should work okay. However if you can let me know where you are seeing the transparency i can double check this.
