What are the suggested guidelines for art dimensions for best results for a typical t-shirt front or back print? Other sites suggest 12″x16″ with 300 dpi minimum but it seems a little large to me.
We recommend a minimum of 1200 x 1200px at 300dpi — our DTG printers can print up to 1200DPI. Check out our design guidelines for more information about recommendations for each decoration method here: https://blog.customcat.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/CustomCat_DesignGuidelines_Nov2018.pdf
