Screen Printing Mistakes to Avoid – File Prep, Fabric & Ink Tips

Mistake #1: Low-Resolution Design Files

Avoid using low-resolution images. Always use vector files or high-resolution rasters to ensure crisp, clean prints without pixelation.

Mistake #2: Complex Color Designs

Overusing gradients or full-color photos in screen printing can lead to blurry or costly orders. Stick to solid color designs for clarity, ease, and cost efficiency.

Mistake #3: Ignoring Fabric Compatibility

Not all inks adhere properly to every fabric. Check with your printer on what materials work best with your design—especially when using textures or blends.
