Instructions for Submitting Images:

Images can come from many different sources;
personal pictures, artwork, scanned images, magazines, newspapers, etc.
When submitting your image material follow some basic guidelines.
1. Make sure the image is no larger than 8" x 10". Please do not send larger items and ask us to try to stick
it together.

2. Images smaller than 2"x2" seldom can be enlarged without losing significant detail.

3. If  you are wanting only a portion of the submitted image, please crop it beforehand or indicate by some
means the area to be a transfer. This can be done in a couple of ways; you can place a piece of paper over
the item with a hole cut into it to indicate the area or you can cover the item with a piece of wax paper and
use a marking pen to indicate the area for transfer.

4. Remember:  Bad photos, etc, make for bad transfers. If the photo you submit has been run through the
wash, well, that’s the way it will look on your shirt.

5. If you are sending one-of-a-kind photos, artwork, etc. please, please, please, send it via insured and
certified mail. Also include prepaid insured and certified postage and return packaging if needed. We can
not be held responsible for items lost in the mail.

6. Finally, be very sure to double and then triple check your submission.
Images


Format
  • Preferably, images should be saved as JPEG's or GIF's (with the ".jpg" or ".gif" file extensions). If
    you require help in converting an image to one of these formats, see our guide. We will also accept
    bitmap images (with the ".bmp" file extension), but because these files are much larger we prefer
    customers to convert to JPEG's or GIF's.


Size
  • Before sending an image you should test to see its size. A desktop publishing package such as
    Microsoft Publisher is ideal for this. Insert your image into the desktop publisher to gauge it's size
    on an A4 piece of paper. If the image is too small or big it doesn't matter as long as the image
    quality is still to your satisfaction when you resize the image to your desired size. Please note when
    resizing an image that you should leave a 2.5cm border between the edge of the image and the
    page to ensure the whole image can be printed. Once the image is resized, copy it and paste it
    back to your image package, then save it as a JPEG or GIF. Images will be printed in the size we
    receive them, so please ensure they are big enough to stand out but still fit onto an A4 page before
    you send them.


Sending
  • Images may be E-mailed to Custom-Tees, although if you have web space of your own it would be
    helpful if you could upload the image to your web space and send the URL of where the image is
    located to Custom-Tees to be downloaded. If you are E-mailing images, please ensure the
    combined size of your images does not exceed 2MB otherwise the E-mail will be rejected by our E-
    mail provider. If the combined size is over 2MB, please send images in separate E-mails, or use
    winzip to compress your files. Please include your name and address with all E-mails containing
    images to prevent mix ups.

By sending an image to Custom-Tees you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions:
The image(s) sent are not subject to any copyright laws and are either your own work or used with
