Translate artwork into a stone map
Provide authorized vector artwork, target size and essential color boundaries. Tiny details may need simplification because stones occupy physical space; review a realistic layout rather than assuming every digital pixel can be reproduced.
Test the finished application
A carrier sheet can look correct before pressing yet read differently on a colored or textured garment. Evaluate placement, contrast, adhesive bond and garment damage together.
Release a versioned order
Tie the final stone map, garment, press process, quantity by variation and packing to one version number. When any input changes, decide whether another sample is required.
Field exercise
Create a controlled artwork handoff
Consider a logo with narrow script and a small symbol. The first stone layout may need wider gaps or a simplified letterform to remain legible. Keep the original authorized artwork, the revised stone map and the reason for each change together. Approve the map at finished size, then apply a physical transfer on the intended fabric. If the buyer changes the garment color, revisit contrast and adhesion before assuming the same approval still applies.
Evidence to retain
- 01Record artwork rights, version number, target footprint and required readable elements.
- 02Compare the stone map with the applied sample for spacing, orientation and color contrast.
- 03List every change that triggers a new proof or application test in the order brief.
