Four decisions, on files that ship with the product

These four screens are what the product answers with. The measurements come from a real run on our own test files — nothing here is invented, and nothing here takes a file from you.

A demo is not a proof of your own file. Your artwork can only be answered by measuring your artwork.

No defined problem at the requested size. The delivered file is your original, unchanged — so no credit is spent. Background removal was not attempted, and the reason is stated.

No defined problem at this size

At the 9.0 in width you chose, and under the current DTF policy version, no defined problem was detected.

What I measured

  • Real detail resolution: 262 DPI
  • This file prints up to 11.8 in without inventing detail
  • Text was found, and it is intact because the file was not touched

What I could not prove

  • The background was not removed automatically — the mask was not safe, so the file was left as it is
  • A screen preview is not a physical proof

Operations not attempted

  • background_removalThe background mask is not safe: the background is dark (luminance 154 < 200) and may be part of the design, and it is not flat enough (std 8.9). Automatic removal was skipped.
Download the file

This is your own file, unchanged. Nothing needed repairing at this size, so nothing was produced and no credit was spent.

A screen preview is not a physical proof.

Real detail is below the target for the size asked for. The file is printable, just smaller than requested — the safe width is measured, not guessed.

Could not verify this at 12.0 in

The file's real detail is not enough for this width. It prints up to 10.2 in without inventing detail.

What I measured

  • Real detail resolution: 171 DPI (at target)
  • Safe width: 10.2 in
  • Text was found; the file was not touched

What I could not prove

  • That the print comes out acceptable at 12.0 in
  • That upscaling adds real detail — pixels increase, detail does not

A screen preview is not a physical proof. No downloadable file was produced for this job.

The safe width could not be measured. The screen says "not measured" rather than "none": an unmeasured value is not a zero.

Could not work out what is meant to be printed

The file looks like a screen capture. The boundary of the artwork is unclear, so a safe width could not be calculated.

What I measured

  • Pixel size: 1920 × 1080
  • Text was found
  • Screen-capture signals were detected

What I could not prove

  • Which region is the artwork — which is why the safe width was NOT MEASURED
  • That an automatic crop would pick the right region

A screen preview is not a physical proof. No downloadable file was produced for this job.

The safe width is far below the smallest size the engine will accept. There is no way out with this file, so the screen says what to ask the customer for instead of leaving you with nothing.

Not at 10.0 in with this file

Real detail is 20 DPI. Upscaling was attempted, but the width that prints without inventing detail is 1.0 in — smaller than the smallest print worth offering (4.0 in).

What I measured

  • Pixel size: 244 × 68
  • Real detail resolution: 20 DPI
  • Safe width: 1.0 in

What I could not prove

  • That the upscaled version is acceptable — upscaling adds pixels, not detail
  • That a usable output at this size can be produced from this file

A screen preview is not a physical proof. No downloadable file was produced for this job.
