- Choose T-shirt colour
Currently, there are basic T-Shirt colours available at Cloudprinter.com — grey, black, yellow, red, green, white, blue as well as tint colours — navy, light blue, dark grey, heather grey, ash, military green, sand, natural.
- Choose T-shirt size
There is a variety of available T-shirt sizes at Cloudprinter.com — starting from S up to 6XL. Choose the one that fits you best and keep in mind that the print zone remains the same independently of the T-Shirt size. For now, only regular fit T-shirts with a round neck are available, but more types are coming soon.
- Choose T-shirt printing side
Printing on the Front side of the T-shirt is available for all the clients globally. The clients who are using Cloudprinter’s Print API have printing Front and Back side options available. To print on both the Front and Back sides, choose the templates for your size and upload 2 files to send your T-shirt for global print.
- Keep in mind print area on T-Shirt Front and Back sides
The print area doesn't change depending on the size of your T-shirt. You can only include your picture within the limits of the print area — 14х16 inches (355.6х406.4 mm). You can either print a picture in the maximum possible size 14х16 inches (355.6х406.4 mm) or place a picture of a smaller size wherever you want within the limits of the print zone. It concerns printing both on the Front and Back sides of your T-shirt.
- Select T-shirt picture
Make sure your picture quality and size are appropriate for the T-shirt print area. That's important to make sure the picture isn't blurred and meets your expectations when printed. You can go for a multi-colour or 1-2-colour picture — whatever is better for you.
