🎨 Artwork Preparation Guide: Avoiding White Outlines in DTF Printing 🎨
A simple guide to ensure your design prints perfectly clean, crisp, and without unwanted borders.
The Problem: Anti-Aliasing and the White Underbase
DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing requires a base layer of white ink—called the white underbase—to be printed behind all your colors. This ensures your vibrant artwork shows up clearly on any garment color.
The key is to make sure every edge pixel of your design is 100% opaque (solid color) or 100% transparent (nothing there).
How the white outline happens:
- When you convert vector art to a PNG, your software uses a process called Anti-Aliasing to smooth out edges and curves.
- Anti-aliasing works by adding tiny, semi-transparent (partially opaque) pixels along the edge, making the design fade into the background.
- Since these pixels are partially transparent, they still tell the printer to lay down the white underbase underneath them, but because they hold little to no actual color data, they print as faint white dots or a white halo.
The Solution: Disable Anti-Aliasing on Export
To prevent the white fringe, you must turn off the anti-aliasing feature when you create your final PNG file.

When Saving the Final File
- Go to File > Save As or File > Export > Export As.
