Transparency and Gradients
Chapter 4
Transparency and Gradients
A gradient is a gradual shift from one heavy color to another. Please avoid gradients going all the way to transparency in your designs when designing DTG products.
Be careful with gradients in direct-to-garment printing.
Transparent areas will fill in with white under the base to ensure that colors appear as bright and vivid as possible. If there is a gradient in a DTG design, try using a white background to see how it turns out before publishing for customer purchase.
For more information on gradients and fine-tuning this process, please see this help article.
However, gradients can work well with products using sublimation printing techniques.

These are typically problematic, particularly with DTG printers and gradients. Dots spread more on garments than on the high-quality paper used in art prints. It’s a different canvas absorbing the ink. So, it makes sense that there would be some variance.
