The artwork is applied to the fabric through a specialized process called sublimation. This is a process where a substance is converted from a solid state directly to vapor by heat and allowed to solidify again. During the sublimation process we transfer the design from printed paper to white fabric. The ink is forced into the fibers making it permanent and permeable allowing moisture to continue to move through the fabric, as opposed to printing on the surface of the fabric, such as a screen print, which blocks the fabrics pores.

Sugoi requires vector art. If vector art cannot be provided there may be art charges applied.

Typically the vector art we require is created using Adobe Illustrator and must come with the following file extensions: .eps .ai .pdf
Bitmap art is commonly created using Adobe Photoshop and must come with the following file extensions: .tif .psd .jpg

Vector Artwork
Please provide Vector artwork for logos and text, it is required for our production purposes to produce high-quality graphics in print with smooth edges.
Vector drawings are comprised of floating anchor points set at specific coordinates on a page with segments connecting them together, creating a framework of paths. They can easily be repositioned and re-shaped, as well as their colour changed with a click of the mouse.
The logo below was drawn using vector tools. It has smooth edges, soft curves and sharp corners. The quality never diminishes because it is resolution-independant.

Example of a vector logo with yellow fill.

Bitmap Artwork
Bitmap artwork is permitted only if it is to be used as a photographic effect. Bitmap, termed for a "map of bits", is a rectangular grid that make up an image. Like checkerboards or parquet flooring, these grids are made up of little squares called pixels or samples.
A bitmap image is resolution-dependant, which means the quality of the image is affected by how small the pixels are and how many are in the image. The higher the resolution, the better the quality of the image and the more details it will contain. The resolution is caculated according the number of pixels within a square inch.
Please note that the quality of an image can not be improved by increasing it's resolution because the bits of information required for filling in the finer details is missing.

Examples of black & white bitmap logos at different resolutions.
15 pixels per inch	72 pixels per inch
150 pixels per inch	300 pixels per inch

Examples of a colour bitmap logo.
The resolution of this logo is too low for tracing because the details are missing, and looking at it close up is strenuous to the eyes.
The resolution of this image is not very high, but is adequate for tracing.

Example of a bitmap photographic image.
This image would be printed with 4 colours CMYK; cyan (sky blue), magenta (fushcia), yellow and black. When mixed together on press, they create thousands of different colours.

Yes, all templates can be found on our Downloads page or by contacting your inside sales rep.

Please drop your artwork into the Artwork layer, and leave the Pattern Template layer locked. This is to prevent the template objects from getting mixed in with your artwork.

The following instructions will also appear within the template files.

• The artwork is used to produce the garments full size range. Please provide enough artwork to fill the largest size parameters. If ordering small sizes, please position all important logos within the XS dotted line areas.
• Placing your artwork at the size provided will enable the Sugoi artists to easily transfer it to their pattern templates.
• When sized in proportion to these templates, Photoshop bitmap images should have a minimum resolution of 150 dpi in order to encourage quality reproduction. A Photoshop document with all layers intact is the ideal format.
• Sugoi logos are standard placement. Please do not move or re-size them, though you do have a limited ability to apply your own colours to the logo and it's offset in order to match your design.
• Make your choice of colours from our chart available on this documents Swatches palette. Pantone equivalents have been provided in order to give an idea of the final printed colour. Due to the nature of the printing and sublimation processes, our printing inks may not exactly match the Pantone equivalents. However, fabric swatches of each colour are available upon request.
• Send your artwork by e-mail to customgear@sugoi.com, on a CD-R, or inquire for instructions on accessing our FTP server.

If logos or art cannot be provided in vector format the following charges may apply:
Logo tracing $50/hr
Creative service $100/hr

Please contact Sugoi for availability or refer to our size chart.
