Add Text to Midjourney V6 Images for Print on Demand Designs

Midjourney Version 6 Alpha brought a big new feature: the ability to add text to your generated images. This is great news if you want to create graphics with specific words, like for print on demand products. This post walks you through how to add text and get your settings ready in Midjourney V6.

Set Up Your Midjourney Settings for Text

Before you start making images with text, set up your Discord settings for Midjourney V6.

First, check which version you are using. Type

• [P]`/settings`[/P]

and press Enter. Make sure "Midjourney model version 6 Alpha" is selected.

Next, set a suffix to automatically add important parameters to your prompts. Type

• [P]`/suffix`[/P]

and choose the suffix command. Click "new value".

Enter the following text:

• [P]`--stylize 200 --v 6`[/P]

This sets the style level and makes sure you use Version 6 for every prompt without typing it each time.

How to Put Text in Your Prompts

Now you're ready to add text. The key thing to remember is to put the exact text you want in speech marks.

Here's an example prompt structure:

`imagine prompt: [description of image] with the text "[Your Text Here]"`

Midjourney looks for the text inside the quotes.

Text Examples: Food Graphics

Let's look at some examples using food graphics.

Prompt:

`2D Vector art of a big beef burger chips and drink with the text "Burger Mill" isolated on a white background`

When this prompt runs, Midjourney tries to place "Burger Mill" in the image. Sometimes it gets the spelling right away, sometimes it doesn't. You might get "Burger Mill" spelled correctly in one image in the grid and not in others.

Trying a similar prompt:

`2D Vector art of a pizza with the text "Pizza" isolated on a white background`

This often works well, with the text "Pizza" correctly spelled and looking like part of the image.

Another try:

`2D Vector art of a chocolate milkshake with a text "Shake Shake"`

This one can be trickier for Midjourney. Spelling might be off in most results. Changing it to "strawberry milkshake" might give different results, but spelling can still be a challenge.

Keep in mind that getting the text perfect often requires running the prompt a few times or rerolling the results you get.

Using Midjourney Text for Print on Demand

[P]Midjourney V6 text is very useful for creating designs for

t-shirts, bags, mugs, and other print on demand items. Here are some prompt ideas focused on POD style graphics.[/P]

Print on Demand Examples

Prompt for a nature theme:

`colorful Vector illustration featuring a palm tree encircled by a vintage Sunset Motif with sharp outlines and the text "Sunset dreams"`

These results can look really nice. The text "Sunset dreams" appears, and if spelled correctly, the graphic is ready for a t-shirt or bag. They often have a great visual style that fits print products.

Prompt for a different visual:

`colorful Vector illustration featuring a bird flying encircled by a vintage Sunset Motif with sharp outlines and the text "fly high"`

This also gives cool designs. As with other examples, check the spelling carefully. You might need to re-roll the results a few times to get "fly high" spelled right on one of the images.

Tips for Better Results

Getting perfect text takes practice and patience. Midjourney is still improving.

Remember to always put the text inside speech marks.

If the spelling is wrong, try rerolling that specific image variation.

Shortcut: Pressing the up arrow key in Discord brings back your last prompt. You can then edit it to change the image description or the text you want.
