So how do you do this? First read below and watch the video if this is your first time. It might feel strange and different but go ahead and play around.
- Select the A4 film size (there is a 12mm bleed around the edge, so do not print near the edge as peeling the liner off can pull some of the film away).
- Select the colour film you want.
- Click the PINK BUTTON below the selected paper size that says “Create Design,” which will open a new window tab called Antigro.
- Upload your text or simple silhouette images (not filled) using the font available in the gang sheet. Use the blue “Upload files” tab on the top left. Use high-resolution PNG files (no less than 300dpi). Ensure there are no unnecessary backgrounds. An orange warning will appear if the graphic’s resolution is between 300 and 250 DPI, and a red warning if it is below 250 DPI, indicating poor output.
- Note that when printing on the gold or silver film, no matter what colour you design, it will only do GLOSS.
- Do not use small text or images.
- Do not squash names or designs too close to each other as this may affect your peel.
- The creator allows you to arrange your images or text within the required sheet size selected in option 1. Ensure you do not place designs outside the pink dashed lines (create within), as this could result in designs printing off the page.
- Once you have imported multiple images:
- Drop and drag them onto the canvas.
- Move, resize, or delete your designs.
- Flip, rotate, and bring designs forward or backward, etc.
- An option to remove backgrounds is available, but it only removes WHITE backgrounds and may remove other important parts of the image. It’s recommended to use a design that is already transparent (e.g., PNG with a high resolution of no less than 300dpi).
- Auto-fill by indicating how many times it should copy along with a gap indication between each (ensure “Keep in safe zone” is on).
- When satisfied, complete your custom design by clicking the GREEN top-right button to “CONFIRM.” Confirm your designs again, enter your email, and confirm once more. You can wait to be redirected or select the “Redirect Now” button.
- You will then return to the cart and proceed with the normal checkout procedure.
Note: You can save your design to return later by copying the link from the browser (it has the order ID in it) or clicking ‘Save’ next to the ‘Confirm’ button. Creating an account is best if you want to come back and view past designs.
Please allow for a 2 to 7 day turnaround time for stickers, as they are printed per order. This timeframe accommodates queued orders and potential printer issues. If your order is urgent, let us know in the order notes, and we will do our best to prioritise it.
Notes:-
- We do not change sizing of file received, we import on the size your submitted
- We are not responsible for any incorrect sizing sent or images with poor dpi.
- We will no longer accept designs via email, this is your go to tool
- UV DTF decals may not adhere well to rough surfaces. For the best results, apply them to smooth and flat surfaces such as glass, plastic, metal, books, and smooth wood. Ensure the surface is clean and free from dust or oils before applying the decals.
- NB! Please do not start you design with full on white images as the printer starts printing a bit of black with it, always start with mixed colour not just plain white. If you have just white in your design please put it after the first row of images to avoid a hint of black in the white design
