A 72 DPI web PNG can look fine on screen and print soft or messy on a DTF shirt. Vxel Engine prepares controlled transparency and 300 DPI at the final print size.

Photoshop workflow
Selections, masks, resolution checks and export settings repeat for every client file.

Prepare controlled transparency and a 300 DPI PNG, then continue in the Vxel production workflow.
