Best Practices

Design Guidelines

• Placement: Consider standard print areas (front center, left chest, back)
• Resolution: Request high resolution for print quality (300 DPI equivalent)
• Color Count: Specify limited colors for screen printing cost efficiency
• Contrast: Ensure design works on intended shirt colors
• Edges: Clean, defined edges for easier separation

Print Considerations

• Bleed Area: Leave margin around design edges
• Underbase: For dark shirts, mention if white underbase is needed
• Halftones: Specify if gradients should use halftone patterns
• Registration: Simple designs with fewer colors = easier registration

File Output Tips

• Request transparent PNG for versatility
• Specify if you need vector-style output
• Mention target print size (e.g., "12 inches wide for standard front print")

Mode Selection

"Do you want fast drafts or production-quality designs?"

Multi-Turn Design Iteration

    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "session_id": "moto-design-001"
  }'

# Refine the design
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
