Verify transparency channels, remove background colors, and check DPI.
Ensure crisp garment prints and eliminate messy white under-base boxes.
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printers require a transparent background to lay down a white under-base ink. Customers upload JPEGs with solid white or black borders, or designs with glowing semi-transparent drop shadows. On dark shirts, this results in a blocky, low-quality rectangle of white ink printed behind the graphic.
Filecheck automates apparel prepress. It detects solid backgrounds, uses AI algorithms to strip background pixels, flattens problematic transparencies, and verifies resolution bounds against final garment dimensions.
Detects solid black or white backdrop boundaries surrounding design objects. Filecheck automatically clips background colors, creating clean transparency alpha layers.
Scans transparency alpha channels. Flags semi-transparent dropshadows or complex overlay fades that cannot be printed on fabrics, flattening vectors safely.
Rather than verifying simple raw dimensions, Filecheck matches image coordinates to real-world print widths (e.g. 10" x 12" on chest), warning users if active DPI drops below 150.
Standardizes incoming colors to sRGB or custom RGB models designed for textile ink mapping, ensuring vibrancy matches what the customer expects on screen.
Checks that customer designs fit within the predefined printing boundaries of the selected shirt sizing, cropping extreme overflows.
Displays the clipped transparent design layered over a shirt template mock-up directly in the checkout flow, ensuring user sign-offs.
Embed the Filecheck Element widget in your Shopify Customizer or WooCommerce custom clothing catalog. Ensure print readiness.
