Hi Amy

I think you did the 4 worlds on the black shirts in 4 different colors-they looked fabulous btw...

Anyway, I am trying to do the same, and when I did a test print on both a 8x10 and 5x7 size the edges came out fuzzy.

I thought perhaps it was because I was doing a greyscale/fast option, so I put a transfer in and clicked best and it too came out fuzzy around the edges, not crisp like yours.

What am I doing wrong? I used both Adobe Illustrator and my Kodak software and had the same problem. Did I save them wrong?

Thanks!

I am not sure why yours would be printing blurry on the edges. One thing I would suggest (if you have not done so already) is to go to Natalie's Photobucket and be sure you are saving the largest file. You will need to click on the thumbnail and then click again until the image is huge and/or it says 100% in the corner. If you are not saving the largest size and then trying to print the images too big, it will make the image blurry.

Here is the link to where they are in her photobucket

Let me know if that helps!

Yep...you are so right...I changed the way I saved it and now it's sharp and crisp like yours.

Thanks!

I am so glad it was that! I was racking my brain trying to think of other possibilities and was coming up with nothing. I am so glad it worked!

OK, I am whining now. I can't find your link to buy more transfers. What am I doing wrong? Please help.
I have time, I don't go until 8/30, but I wanted to order them before the end of July in case you are abducted by aliens when we aren't watching you.

I will be attempting my first t shirts this weekend. Just so I understand, I should have saved any of the graphics in the largest size possible for clarity?? As I am doing this on Sunday you will probaly see posts from me popping up since I am terrifically-craft- challenged...
Thanks!!

Well I do not have any plans to go anywhere - but I guess you just never know when the aliens will strike - ha ha

Thanks for providing the link! I am personally unable to provide my link (DISboard policy) - so for all those interested, please bookmark this!

Yes, saving in the largest size possible is the best. I am not always around a lot on Sunday (family day) but I will certainly pop in and see if I can help in any way.

You will see that the directions are very easy. And after you get over your nervousness and have completed the first shirt, you will see how truly easy they are to make with fabulous results.
