How to Set up Files for Clear (transparent) Vinyl Stickers with White Ink

Printulu does NOT offer white ink printing. When printing on transparent, one needs to print a white layer below the actual design in order for it to show on dark products.

**Step 1: Graphic Quality****Make sure your graphics are of suitable quality for printing. We highly recommend vector files as they allow unlimited resizability without losing resolution.

Step 2: Die Line and Bleed****Create a die line for the sticker, make sure the line is 0.1pt thick and in 100% magenta. It is recommended to be offset 0.125" away from the graphic.

Step 3: White Ink and Opacity****Due to the transparent nature of the clear vinyl sticker, all white areas in the graphic will not have ink on them. Create a new swatch for the white ink, name it White_ink, color mode: Spot Color, and set the CMYK values to 30/10/10/0.

Step 4. Submission** Save your file as an Adobe Illustrator file (.ai) or Adobe PDF and you are ready to submit.
