AI image generators can create amazing artwork, but not all AI-generated files are suitable for printing. Before uploading AI-generated artwork to Teelaunch, it's important to ensure your design meets our print requirements.

Poor-quality AI artwork may result in blurry prints, unexpected colors, missing details, or production issues.

Best Practices for AI-Generated Artwork

Use High-Resolution Files

AI-generated images are often created at relatively small dimensions.

For best results:

• Use artwork that is at least 300 DPI at the intended print size.
• Avoid stretching or enlarging small images.
• Use AI upscaling tools when necessary.

Tip: If an image looks blurry on your screen when zoomed in, it will likely print blurry as well.

Check Text Carefully

AI generators are known for producing inaccurate or distorted text.

Before submitting artwork:

• Review all text closely.
• Correct spelling mistakes.
• Ensure letters are clear and readable.
• Recreate important text using graphic design software whenever possible.

We cannot guarantee accurate printing of text that is distorted in the original artwork.

Watch for Transparent Background Issues

Many AI-generated images do not have true transparent backgrounds.

Before uploading:

• Remove unwanted backgrounds.
• Verify that the file contains transparency if required.
• Check edges for unwanted artifacts or halos.

Avoid Extremely Fine Details

Very small details may not reproduce well on printed products.

Examples include:

• Thin lines
• Tiny text
• Small decorative elements
• Complex patterns

Simpler and cleaner designs generally produce better results.

Understand Color Differences

Colors displayed on screens may differ from printed results.

This is especially true with:

• Neon colors
• Metallic effects
• Extremely bright colors
• Dark gradients

AI artwork often contains colors that cannot be reproduced exactly through printing.

Common AI Artwork Problems

Blurry or Soft Images

Cause:

• Low-resolution source artwork

Solution:

• Use a higher-resolution image or upscale the artwork before uploading.

Strange Text or Symbols

Cause:

• AI-generated text errors

Solution:

• Replace text using professional design software.

Unexpected Backgrounds

Cause:

• AI-created artifacts or incomplete background removal

Solution:

• Carefully inspect artwork before uploading.

Missing Details in Print

Cause:

• Fine details that are too small to reproduce

Solution:

• Increase line thickness and simplify the design.

Important Note

Teelaunch prints artwork exactly as it is submitted. AI-generated artwork is not reviewed, corrected, or modified before production.

Customers are responsible for verifying that their files are suitable for printing before placing an order.

Issues resulting from low-quality, distorted, or improperly prepared AI-generated artwork may not qualify for a refund or replacement.
