    So before all the computer graphics we still used pixels and dpi for graphics and printing. I had and think I still do a ruler that had pixels on one side for measurements. Dpi or resolution was a more difficult to measure and was done with a little Loupe with a measuring device on it.

    Good information Juna. I always format my images in Photoshop using the highest resolution and I use CMYK since it will ultimately be printed and printers read Cyan Megenta Yellow and Black. I am not sure I understand how they are converting files from RGB to CMYk. I have also read some reviews where the colors don't match on the actual final product. I haven't had any complaints on my products, as I am making sure it is always the same. Just wondering what your thoughts are on that. I also use the same settings for print CMYK when I export images from Canva to upload to Etsy.

    Thankyou so much for all your vids - they are always straight to the point and useful! Quick question that I'm sure many beginners like me have: how do you decide which images to vectorise and which to just upscale - before uploading to POD site (e.g Printful)?
    I understand more complex images maybe cannot be vectorised, but what about fairly simple images from Midjourney?
    My concern is that when I vectorise my images the 'look' of the original changes (naturally). If I am able to upscale using online software (without vectorising) to the sizes required by POD platforms will they print just fine?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    • @DetourShirts

    First, I think I will just try to change my graphics into vectors, and not have to worry about it. 😂😂😂 Second, I think I am understanding you…if you have an image/graphic of 4500x5400, then that equals an image/graphic of 15x18 inches @ 300 dpi/ppi. So, what I don’t think people are grasping, but I think I am is….if you have an image that is 15” wide @300 dpi/ppi = 4500 pixels and the same with 18” length @300 dpi/ppi = 5400 pixels…so, in the end the quality will be the same and you don’t even have to look at the dpi/ppi when you are using the pixels measurement, but if you are using the inch measurement, then use the 300 dpi/ppi!
    It’s simple, the 300 dpi is already in that image/graphic at 4500 x 5400….that dpi/ppi, 😅because if you do the calculation of inches, @300 dpi, then you will get the proper pixel size, and by the way, people, there are calculators, out there, to see for yourself, what Juna is saying. 300 dpi, is there for when you use inches….then convert it to the proper pixels size. All you would have to do is figure out the inches, so if you want an 8x10 image/graphic with 300 dpi/ppi, you would do 300dpi x 8 inches = 2400 pixels and 300 dpi x 10 = 3000 pixels. Easy, people, just do the math.
    Multiply 300 dpi x inches = pixel size you need in width and height, or if you’re using pixels to start just divide your pixel size say 4500/300 dpi/ppi and you will get 15 inches. Simple, you don’t even need to look at the dpi/ppi if you’re using the correct pixel size width and length, because it is automatically correct.

      Yes and no...4000px x 4000px by itself is the resolution but if you squeezed into a 12in x 12in it will give you a 333dpi if you tried to put it into a 20in by 20in size it would give you 200dpi.... Hopefully that makes sense... the final physical size of the 4000px x 4000px graphic will determine it's dpi.

Now I have used online tools to make it 300 dpi but the file size gets shrinked on like 5mb.. so I am assuming that is not good for quality. I wanna be able to print it on 4500x4500 canvas for example. How do I make it from 72 dpi to 300 dpi and have 4500x4500 size with good quality so it can be physically printed that big?

    Shoot, wish I had watched this video before deleting and uploading some designs. However, I've seen some negative reviews about blurry designs on shirts. I just assumed this was because of a lower DPI. Could this be from a printing error or something else within the design? Or is it just hard to say?

    • @DetourShirts
      @DetourShirts  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Yes.... It could be a number of things.... Most likely it's the printer and it's printing on a shirt..... The printers are good but not as crisp as a silk screen printed shirt.... The second reason could be the design. If you scaled up a design that is not a vector file it will make it blurrier.... a lot of designs from online graphic apps are PNGs and they should not be scaled up..... and of course if you are designing for a 15 in x 18 in size and have a low DPI then it will be blurry too.

    Hi I always got 96 dpi ( 3584 × 5376) is it okay or not enough. Cuz I've seen si many saying it should always be 300 dpi ??? Please help

    • @DetourShirts
      @DetourShirts  Před 4 měsíci

      You need to check with the POD site and products you are adding your design to.... for example Amazon Merch on Demand would like a 4500x5400 size or bigger so 3584x5376 would not work

    Ok so for instance I upscaled my AI art images to 2048 x 2048 and they say 96 DPI 25 Bit . Yet when I go to Printful I use this image it says Average 114 DPI We suggest larger image for better results . I upscaled it to 8192 x 8192 and now Printful says its 455 DPI and good to print. So im still little confused on that

    • @DetourShirts
      @DetourShirts  Před 5 měsíci +2

      It all depends on the size you are scaling up to.... my guess is the final size is suppose to be 18 in x 18 in... so when you scale up the 2048 px x 2048 px to fit 18 in x 18 in the dpi becomes 114 because 2048 ÷ 18 = 113.777..... The same is happening for the 8192 px x 8192 px because 8192 ÷ 18 = 455.1.... so using that same formula what you would need is 5400 px x 5400 px... because 5400 ÷ 18 = 300 or 300 dpi.... Hope that makes sense.... good luck

    PPI does relate to printing. DPI is a characteristic of the output device, not the image.
    I can think of no modern digital printer that will have an output resolution as low as 300dpi unless you really have to churn out work really really really fast.
    600dpi is more common, and 1200 is even better for fine print production. The input images for something hand-held on paper stocks should, per common rule of thumb, be about 300PPI, maybe as high as 600PPI for very very fine print work.
    At our shop, we regularly print wide format vinyl graphics for vehicles with image resolutions between 75PPI-120PPI, with a printer resolution of 600DPI.
    The pixel resolution of the image shouldn't matter unless it's so low that the individual pixels are visible in the print.

    • @DetourShirts
      @DetourShirts  Před 7 měsíci

      Great comment..... yes what you are saying is true.... but for print on demand purposes 300 dpi doesn't matter unless you are creating something with physical dimensions like inches or cm...If you are using pixels as a unit of measure the PPI is kind of built in.

    • @elloh77
      @elloh77 Před 7 měsíci +1

      @@DetourShirts pixels are not a unit of measurement though. And you are creating something with physical dimensions, whether you're printing the image on a sheet of paper or on a shirt. That print has a physical size when printed. The physical size cannot be measured in pixels, because the size of any given pixel is relative to the image's printed size. 5000 Px printed @ 10in is not the same as 5000px printed at 100in

      @DetourShirts  Před 7 měsíci

      Yes... you are correct but we have to save our PNGs for Print on Demand as 4500 px x 5400 px.... it gets converted to a physical size when printed but Amazon, RedBubble or other printing sellers do that part..... they size it our 4500px x 5400px file to 15x18 and therefore it is 300dpi

      @@DetourShirts These garment print on demand file specs are a little odd to me, coming from print production for a different subset of the industry, but it sounds like they've already "done the math" so the user placing an order doesn't have to think about it. As long as the image is the correct pixel dimension it'll produce correctly. Simplified processes reach the widest possible customer base.

      What you would need to do is upscale it at least 3x.... that would get you 5100x6600 then you can size it down to 4500x5400.... you never want to size up without upscaling.... DGB.lol can upscale your AI images for FREE.

      If you are taking them with a good camera it's definitely 300dpi+..... but in order for it to truly be 300 dpi you would have to know the physical size the want the photos at.... is it 8x10 or 11x17? Then you can size your photos in there.

    hi juna :-) I hope I saved my designs / transformed them to POD quality. Would you please say if this sounds good for printable Design with 300 dpi quality?
    I uploaded a 3200x4000 design in PNG, I vectorized it with "Ai". I downloaded this image as SVG. I uploaded this to photopea, I changed the dimension to 4500x5400 - the result has got 23 MP. Would this download as a PNG fullfill my POD "300 dpi"? Than say yes 23 MP with 4500x5400 are great.
    Because I have no idea if this already works I did this: I set this 23 MP image to 300 dpi . The result was a 403 MP size with may be 17.000x22.000, I changed this back to 4500x5400 - with still 300 dpi and saved this as a PNG which I need to upload. I guess you showed only the size matters, but please tell me if STEP 1 is great for POD and my step 2 was totally nonsense 🙂
    Or if the whole thing doesnt work and the initial design with 3200x4000 cant ever be ready for POD Shirt business with 300 dpi quality. I designes several weeks before opening shop and uploading them - now I have got these nice ideas but all in NO-POD quality / size 4500x5400

      Printing is different than print on demand...... I would use 300 dpi for a flyer. Just changing a 72dpi file to a 300dpi file will not increase quality you would have to upscale it.
