An SVG comes with it when the art is a vector fit: flat colour, no gradients. This design has soft shading across 32 colours, so a 600 DPI PNG is the right file for it.

The job on this page was run from a Claude conversation. The connector and the tools are the same in Cursor. The brief: Vintage athletic screen-print graphic for a trail running club: a mountain ridge, a rising sun, a winding trail and the words SUMMIT STRIDE, in forest green, burnt orange and bone cream.

Before it prints

The check that free tools skip

Close-up of the S and T of STRIDE as first generated: textured green letters with a cream outline, sitting in a mottled grey semi-transparent haze.

As generated · 186 DPI at 11 in

The grey is not the shirt. It is a translucent haze, and it prints.
The same letters in the production file: flat forest green with a crisp cream outline, on a fully transparent background.

Print file · 600 DPI at 11 in

Hard edges and real transparency. Only the design prints.

Preflight · 11 in · DTF · free

  • failFine detail. 47% of it is thinner than the 0.01 in DTF minimum
  • warnResolution. About 186 DPI at 11 in, against a 300 DPI target
  • warnSoft edges. 48% of ink pixels are semi-transparent
  • warnHalo. The border is only partly transparent
  • passPixel size. 2048 × 2048 px

The first version has more texture, and it is a lovely image. It would also have printed a grey box around the design. Preflight is what tells the two apart before anyone runs a shirt.
