Our all-star design team will be happy to clean up your pixelation issues by increasing the size of your image and redrawing your outlines so that your design prints correctly. We can change the color of your logo or add an outline. Let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Let's Perfect Your Tee: Our Design Review Process
At Wanna Ink, we know that creating the perfect custom t-shirt is not just about choosing a design; it's about ensuring the design looks exactly as you imagined when printed on fabric. A design review is an important part of this process. Our expert team works with you to fine-tune your artwork before it goes into production. Whether it's for a personal project, a team, an event or a business, we ensure your design is flawless and print-ready, giving you complete control and peace of mind.
Why a Design Review Matters
Before your custom t-shirt design goes to production, you need to make sure everything is perfect: the placement, the colors, the resolution and even the file format. With Wanna Ink's Design Review Service, you will get expert guidance every step of the way. Our team doesn't just print your design—we make sure it's optimized for the best possible outcome. This includes double-checking every element, from pixel perfection to color accuracy, so your design shines on fabric just as much as it does on screen.
Here's how we ensure that your design is ready for production:
Step-by-Step Guide to Your Design Review Process
We have simplified the process to ensure you have total control and get the expert help you need. Here's how we manage the design review before your custom t-shirts are printed:
1. Share Your Design:
Start sharing your designs with us. We accept all file types, so it doesn't matter what format your design is in—whether it's a vector logo, a custom graphic, or a simple text design. We support everything from .JPG and .GIF to .AI and .EPS files. Don't worry about the technicalities; if your file needs to be converted, we will take care of that for you. We will make sure your design is ready for print in the highest quality possible.
2. Receive Your Artwork Proof:
After we receive your design, our team will create artwork proof to show how it will look on your preferred t-shirt. This step gives you the opportunity to review your design before it goes into production. Our goal is to make sure the placement, size and colors all meet your expectations. You'll receive an email with the artwork proof where you can view your design, zoom in on details and evaluate how it will appear on your shirt.
3. Approve or Modify Your Design:
After you review your artwork proof, you can make any final adjustments. You may want to move the design slightly or tweak the colors or alignment. If you notice any pixelation or other issues, we will take care of those for you. Our design team will modify your artwork as needed and send you an updated proof for your approval. You hold the ultimate authority in this process—we will not proceed until you are completely satisfied with your design.
4. Production Begins:
Once you give your approval for the final design, we will start the production process. Our team will print your design carefully making sure that every detail is sharp and vibrant. We will provide you with tracking details once we ship your order so you can follow your customized t-shirts all the way to your doorstep.
File Formats: What You Need to Know
Choosing the correct file format is essential for a smooth design review process. Different file formats impact how the design appears when printed. Here's what you need to know:
- Raster Image Files: These include formats like .JPG, .GIF, .BMP, .TIFF, and .PDF. These are typically used for designs with a lot of color and detail. While these formats are accepted, we may need to use a placeholder for formats that can't be directly converted to print-ready images.
- Vector Files: Formats like .AI, .EPS, and .SVG are ideal for custom t-shirt printing, as they ensure your design is scalable without losing quality. If you have a logo design review, we highly recommend using vector files, as they will provide the best print results.
- Other Formats: We also accept .PSD files. While this is not directly usable for printing, we can convert them into print-ready formats.
If you are not sure which file type is best for your project, our design team is always available to advise you. We will ensure that your design looks amazing, no matter the format you start with.
Common Design Issues We Fix
Pixelation:
Misalignment and Placement Issues:
When it comes to custom t-shirts, proper placement is important. If your design isn’t aligned correctly, it can ruin the overall look of the t-shirt. Once we receive your design, we will check for any alignment issues including centering and the distance from the neckline. If any minor adjustments need to be made, we will take care of them and send you the final proof for approval.
Background Colors and Transparency:
Sometimes when you upload a design, it might come with a background color you do not want or one that just doesn’t match the t-shirt fabric. We will remove any unnecessary background colors to ensure you have a clean and professional design for printing. Whether it’s a color mismatch or an extra background element, we will make sure everything looks perfect.
Color Adjustments:
Need to change a color in your design? No problem! We can tweak the colors in your design to ensure they fit your brand or personal preferences. Just let us know which shades you want and we will make the adjustments. We can also provide color recommendations based on the shirt color you choose.
Changing your uploaded design
If you need to make changes to your uploaded design, we can help! When you are ready to check out, leave us a note detailing the changes you would like to see or email us and we will make the revisions when your order gets placed. You will be able to review the finished layout when we send you the final design proofs for your approval.
Adjusting Print size on orders with Youth and Adult apparel
When ordering custom t-shirts for both youth and adult sizes, it’s important to make sure your design fits perfectly on all garments. We understand that youth t-shirts have a different fit compared to adult sizes, and sometimes a design needs to be adjusted to suit each size.
If you’re ordering multiple sizes, we will make sure your design is appropriately scaled for each t-shirt. Whether that means resizing the print for youth apparel or making it larger for adult tees, we’ll handle all the logistics. If you have any specific requests or questions about print sizing, don’t hesitate to contact us.
