Simili Leather 430 gr / m² - Personalised printing

We recommend a resolution between 150 and 300 dpi for a professional quality impression. Beyond 300 dpi, the file will be heavier without additional quality gain.

We can technically print any dpi, including a 72 dpi file (standard web quality) if you do not have a better resolution. However, it is important to understand that such a low resolution remains a restricted quality, thought for a screen display: the printing rendering will not be at the level of a high resolution file.

For a personalised fabric, the colored color profile applied depends on the tool used:

Good general practices

• Always incorporate an ICC profile in your file (avoid "without profile" files.)
• If in doubt, use sRGB IEC61966-2.1 : this is a safe bet.
• For the personalized finished textiles, prefer the artifex Profile SRGB ICC, optimized for this support.
• When you use our online mounting tools, the profile is applied automatically, so think to align yourself on the creation of the visual.

We accept the files in color mode CMYK that RGB, however, we strongly recommend using RGB mode, because it offers a wider and brighter range of colors, which allows a better visual rendering on screen.

> Important: whatever the color mode or color profile built into your file is the rGB profile of our printing tool which will be applied automatically at the time of printing.

In order to minimize color gaps between what you see on the screen and the printed result, we recommend working directly with the following RGB color profile: 👉 sRGB IEC61966-2.1

This profile is closest to the one used by our online printing tools, which guarantees a better match between your digital visuals and the final tissue rendering.

📌 Unlike other RGB profiles like Adobe RGB 1998, which offer a larger palette but can produce deviations when printing, sRGB IEC61966-2.1 is the one that ensures the best color fidelity with our machines.

Summary of good practices :

• Colorimetric mode recommended: RGB
• ICC Profile to Use: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
• Avoid too wide profiles like Adobe RGB 1998 if your goal is to have a faithful impression to your screen.

Your file can weigh up to 100 MB maximum.

📌 Note: for a patchwork mounting, each file component the board can individually weigh up to 100 MB.

Files exceeding 100 MB will automatically be refused when sending. We therefore recommend that you reduce the size of your file before sending: Think about compress or flatten your file, and delete any useless element (rules, empty layers, etc..)

For the size of your file, you can follow these simple steps depending on the operating system of your computer:

On Windows:

1. Locate the file you want to know the size.
2. Right-click the file.
3. In the context menu that appears, select "Properties."
4. A window will open, displaying various information about the file, including its size.

On Mac OS:

1. Find the file you want to check the size.
2. Right-click (or Control + Click) on the file.
3. Select "Read information."
4. A window will open, displaying various information about the file, including its size.

Verify that your file is well flattened : files with layers can be larger. So make sure to flatten before saving them.

Save your file in LZW (for TIFF files): This compression method can dramatically reduce the size of your file without compromising the quality of the image.

Use online tools to compress the image : many sites offer free compression tools. Be sure to select a compression that maintains acceptable quality for your project.

We recommend 4 types of formats:

• JPEG / JPG (high resolution of 300 dpi recommended.)
• TIFF / TIF (LZW compression needed during recording.)
• PNG (recommended for theDTF printing.)
• PSD.

If you need convert your file in TIFF format, you can do it easily with software like Photoshop ("file" menu → "Save As" → TIFF format, with LZW compression), or via online tools like IlovePDF.com.

If your file does not load correctly, it can come from a memory kept in memory by your browser. Here are the solutions to try:

1. Empty the cache and cookies of your browser : open the settings, look for "clear navigation data", check cache and cookies, confirm, and recharge the page.
2. Try another browser : Chrome, Firefox or Edge.
3. Check the size and weight of your file following the recommendations above.

If the problem persists, you can contact our support by indicating the format of your file, size, and screenshot if possible. 😊
