1.3 Artwork and print responsibility
- All artwork is assumed to be print-ready at the size submitted
- Customers are responsible for spelling, grammar, sizing, placement and design layout
- We do not check or proof customer artwork
- Low-resolution files will result in poor print quality
- By proceeding with your order, you accept responsibility for the artwork supplied
- Mockups are indicative only and final placement may vary slightly
1.4 Direct to Film (DTF) printing
All online orders are printed using Direct to Film (DTF) printing unless otherwise specified.
For best results, artwork must be suitable for DTF printing:
- Minimum 300dpi at print size
- Solid, clean artwork with sharp edges
- Transparent backgrounds where required
DTF printing is not suitable for:
- Low-resolution or pixelated images
- Fine details, thin lines or small text under approximately 0.5mm
- Drop shadows, glows or soft transparency effects
- Complex gradients or faded edges
Files that do not meet these requirements will be printed as supplied. The Tshirt Mill is not responsible for poor outcomes caused by unsuitable artwork.
We do not adjust or correct artwork unless explicitly requested and quoted.
1.5 Colour and print expectations
- Colours may vary between screens, garments and print methods
- We do not guarantee exact colour matching
- DTF printing uses a CMYKW colour process which differs from RGB screens
- Colours seen on screen may not exactly match printed results
- A white ink base is used for all DTF prints, maintaining vibrancy across garment colours
- DTF prints sit on top of the garment, creating a more opaque finish than other methods
- Print outcomes may vary slightly from digital previews
Variations of up to 5 percent in colour and print size are considered acceptable.
We recommend ordering samples if colour or finish is critical.
1.6 Delivery and shipping
- Shipping timeframes are estimates only
- Once dispatched, delivery is managed by the courier
- We are not liable for courier delays, loss or damage in transit
1.7 Production priority
- Standard orders are not delayed in favour of rush orders
- Rush orders are completed using additional labour and extended hours
- During peak periods, production may be completed closer to the upper end of the timeframe

To maximise longevity:
- Cold wash inside out
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not iron directly on print
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure
