Artboard
{{ artboardW }}" × {{ artboardH }}"
The artboard grows and shrinks with your artwork, with {{ padIn }}" around it (up to {{ maxW }}" × {{ maxH }}").
The garment color is only shown on screen (and used by simulated process). The PNG is transparent.
Print Prep
Screen Print
  1. Clean up the art
  2. Set up the screens
  3. Export the screens
{{ screenSummary.screens }} screen{{ screenSummary.screens === 1 ? '' : 's' }} ({{ screenSummary.underbase ? 'underbase + ' : '' }}{{ screenSummary.inks }} ink{{ screenSummary.inks === 1 ? '' : 's' }}) · films at {{ screenSummary.dpi }} DPI
Remove a color (e.g. black for a black shirt). Edges fade out smoothly instead of leaving hard lines.
Soften a hard edge (e.g. a square image after its background is knocked out) so the design flows into the garment.
Distress or screen print texture repeated across the design. Wherever the texture is dark, the print is cut away.
No textures yet.
Halftone
Turn opacity and tones into printable dots: one ink, CMYK process, or simulated process spot inks.
Screenprint ready - saved in this mode, the design works for DTF and for screen printing: {{ separationList.length + (exportOpts.underbase.enabled ? 1 : 0) }} screen{{ separationList.length + (exportOpts.underbase.enabled ? 1 : 0) === 1 ? '' : 's' }} ({{ exportOpts.underbase.enabled ? 'underbase + ' : '' }}{{ separationList.length }} ink{{ separationList.length === 1 ? '' : 's' }}), made from the saved design when needed. Ink names and the underbase come from Export Options.

Saved Halftoner Design
"{{ processedSel.name }}" is already knocked out / halftoned, so it prints as it is and isn't processed again. To change it, open the design and refine its saved settings.
Print Prep
This layer prints as is, on top of the processed artwork (e.g. solid text over a halftoned photo).

Manage Textures
Tileable distress and screen print overlays. Black hides the print and clear keeps it.
Add a texture
PNG black with transparency is best. JPG / grayscale images are converted: darker = hides more. Make it seamless (it repeats) and high resolution, about 300 px per inch at its tile size. Builders preview from a small copy. Only signed-in exports get the full file.
