Creating a T Shirt Logo Settings

The raster effects settings only apply if the design has raster effects, like placed images, or drop shadow and glow effects. Most t shirt logos are created with vector art only. You need to find out if your printer can work with raster effects if they are included in your logo.

T shirt printing is typically done with silk screening. This method of printing is different than standard offset printing, because you pay for each color screen. The CMYK setting of your file won't matter if the T shirt will be silk screened. You need to ask your printer about this too.

Some T shirts are direct digitally printed to the shirt, or printed to a transfer material which is then applied to the shirt. This method is done with CMYK inks.

You will need to talk to the printer who will be producing your shirts; appropriate settings will vary according to the printing equipment being used.
