How to Prepare Artwork for a Custom Canopy Tent
Get the files right
Dye sublimation prints edge to edge in full colour, so good source files matter.
- Format: vector (PDF, AI, EPS) is ideal; high-resolution PNG/TIFF also works.
- Resolution: at least 150 DPI at full size for raster art.
- Colour: design in CMYK where possible so on-screen colour matches print.
- Fonts: outline/embed them so nothing shifts.
Layout tips
- Keep logos and key text centred and away from seams and edges.
- Remember the valance (the hanging skirt) is prime eye-level space — put your name or tagline there.
- High contrast reads from a distance; busy backgrounds bury a logo.

Either way, nothing prints until you approve the proof.
