FAQ
Reader questions
Will my photo print accurately on a fleece blanket?
Yes, modern sublimation and dye-print methods on polyester fleece retain detail and resist fading when cared for properly.
What image file formats do providers usually accept?
JPEG and PNG at 300 DPI are standard; some makers also accept TIFF for high-end quilted designs.
Can I add a photo to a weighted blanket without compromising function?
Choose removable photo panels or printed outer covers so the weighted insert remains intact and washable. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, wash in cold water with gentle detergent, and skip harsh bleach to preserve the image.
