Frequently Asked Questions
How big can I print on a t-shirt?
It depends on the shirt size. A men's Medium can fit a full front print up to 30×35 cm. Larger sizes like 2XL allow up to 38×44 cm. Use the calculator above to check any size.
What DPI does my image need to be?
At least 300 DPI at the printed size. The calculator shows you the minimum pixel dimensions for your chosen size and placement. The HiTee App will also warn you if your image is too low resolution.
Does HiTee automatically fit my image to the print area?
Yes — the HiTee App automatically scales and positions your image to fit the optimal print area for your selected shirt size, so you don't need to manually crop or resize.
Can I print on both front and back?
Yes — front and back prints are independent placements. You can add a design to both sides when ordering through the HiTee App.
