Developing practical solutions based on this demand…

Pain Points (Public)

Apparel sellers and print-on-demand shops running Direct-to-Film (DTF) pipelines receive 5–10 raw tee graphics daily, but lack the pre-press bandwidth to clean edge halos, eliminate semi-transparent pixels, and format transparent 300 DPI PNGs or vector PDFs, which frequently causes white-ink bleed and transfer film peeling during production.

Suggested Approach (Public)

A daily retainer-based pre-press workflow that takes raw graphic concepts and standardizes them for DTF production: performing background removal, sharpening edge thresholds for clean white underbase printing, and delivering ready-to-print 300 DPI transparent PNGs along with production AI/PDF vector source files on a daily turnaround.
