I need some help please. I am making my design in FlexiSIGN PRO 10 and exporting to Photoshop to then send to rip for my direct to garment printer. My problem is when I rasterize my work in Flexi at 300 dpi. When I check it in Photoshop it is only 72 dpi. Printing on my dtg printer at 72 dpi. gives me poor quality prints. Is that the way to save and export at 300 dpi? any info would be appreciated. I will be taking a photoshop class mid-January but have shirts to print now. I use Flexi for my vinyl and do OK with it. I branched out to dtg and don't seem to be catching on so well. Help if you can Please. Thanks

Almost seems comical to design in one rip to print from another rip. I'm guessing you dont have Illustrator.

Regardless try exporting the Flexi design as a PDF file. Then let Photoshop handle the rasterizing. Photoshop can open a PDF and will prompt you for the resolution you want it to rasterize it at.

I have a Melco G2 printer and it came with MelcoRIP. The tech guy doesn't really know how to design in Flexi so he was having me do it that way. Any better suggestions are welcome.

Design in Illustrator.... either way exporting from Flexi as a vector (pdf, eps, ai) and letting Photoshop handle the rasterization should fix the problem.

Export it as an eps file, then you can control the resolution when you import it to photoshop. This will also make it transparent background in photoshop.

OK, I don't have Illustrator, .pdf was not highlighted but I did export as .ai and photoshop did let me change the dpi to 300. Awesome, but it did not make a transparent layer. How do I do that? I did not see a box to check or any other options about a transparent layer. Thanks
