Abstract

A system providing a design interface that displays a virtual model of an article to be designed by a user such as a shoe. The user may apply colors and images to the article, and may scale, rotate, and position images using the interface. The interface displays the custom design throughout and may also provide warnings or simulated results where the custom design may be influenced by equipment limitations of a direct to garment printer (“DTG”) on which it will be printed. A completed design is serialized and saved and may be used to create a print dataset that may be printed to a DTG printer or site and that is usable to configure and execute a print job for the design. Print jobs may be aided by the use of specialized covers and platens to prevent overspray, isolate movement, and provide a flat print surface for irregularly.
