 How to Prepare Your File for Digital Fabric Printing

A print-ready file is a digital design that’s properly formatted, color-corrected, and scaled for production using digital printing services. For your custom fabric in Bangkok, this means ensuring your artwork is in the correct file type (usually TIFF or high-resolution JPEG), has the right color profile (CMYK), and matches your desired fabric size or repeat pattern. 

At Fabricity, our digital printing services help turn your artwork into premium-quality textiles — whether you’re designing for fashion, home décor, or business branding. 

Why is file preparation important for digital printing services? 

Preparing your design correctly ensures that your digital printing services provider can reproduce the exact colors, textures, and details you envision. A poorly prepared file can result in color shifts, pixelation, or unwanted borders. 

By submitting a proper print-ready file, you minimize errors, reduce turnaround time, and get the vibrant, professional results that custom fabric in Bangkok is known for. 

What file formats are best for custom fabric printing? 

When using digital printing services, the preferred formats are: 

  • TIFF (.tif) – Ideal for high-quality, lossless printing. 

  • JPEG (.jpg) – Acceptable if saved at maximum quality. 

  • PDF (.pdf) – Works for vector-based designs. 

Avoid low-resolution PNGs or screenshots — these can distort your design once scaled for large prints on custom fabric in Bangkok. 

What color mode should I use for my print-ready file? 

Always convert your artwork to CMYK mode before sending it for digital printing services. Unlike RGB (used for screens), CMYK accurately represents how colors will appear on fabric. 

At Fabricity, our team helps adjust your hues and saturation to match your original concept — ensuring your print-ready file delivers rich, consistent results across all custom fabric in Bangkok options. 

How do I set the correct resolution for my print-ready file? 

Resolution matters in digital printing services. Your design should be at least 150–300 DPI (dots per inch) at the final print size. 

For example, if you want a 1-meter-wide print, your file should measure at least 5900 pixels wide. This ensures your custom fabric in Bangkok comes out sharp, not pixelated. 

Should I include bleed or margins in my design? 

Yes — include at least 2–3 cm bleed on all edges. This helps digital printing services handle trimming, alignment, or stretching without cutting off important design elements. 

Adding a bleed also ensures your print-ready file maintains design continuity when printing seamless patterns for curtains, upholstery, or apparel. 

How can I ensure my colors look the same on fabric as on screen? 

Monitors often display colors more vividly than printed fabrics. To achieve accuracy with digital printing services, order a color swatch test from Fabricity before bulk printing. 

This step helps confirm your print-ready file appears as intended — particularly for fashion designers and creators using custom fabric in Bangkok for retail or interiors. 

Can I use photographs or hand-drawn art for digital printing? 

Absolutely! Both photographs and scanned hand-drawn artwork can be printed as long as your print-ready file is high-resolution. Digital printing services at Fabricity can enhance, resize, and adapt your art for custom fabric in Bangkok, creating unique, museum-quality results. 

What’s the final checklist before sending your file to Fabricity? 

  • Before submitting your print-ready file to our digital printing services, make sure to: 

  • Save your file as TIFF or JPEG at 300 DPI 

  • Convert to CMYK mode 

  • Add 2–3 cm bleed 

  • Flatten your layers 

  • Double-check the repeat pattern alignment 

  • Include your desired fabric type and size in the order notes 

Following this checklist ensures your custom fabric in Bangkok comes out exactly as you imagined.
