FAQ

General Information

What are DTF Transfers?

DTF Transfers are popular within the printing industry to decorate or self apply a custom logo to garments with a heat press. The DTF transfer is printed on a digital water based printer with CMYK colors on a clear film carrier. 

Where to use DTF Transfers?

DTF Transfers can be applied to a variety of garments such as:

  • Cotton
  • Polyester
  • Tri-blends
  • Nylon
  • Lycra
  • Cardboard

How to apply DTF Transfers?

DTF Transfers must be applied with a heat press. Set your heat press to the following parameters:

  • Temperature: 300 F
  • Time: 14 seconds
  • Pressure: Firm

Cover the film carrier with a piece of parchment paper to avoid the film from sticking to the hot heat platen.

Peel the backing film carrier as soon as the time runs out to release the ink on the garment.

How to wash printed garments?

Put your garments in the washing machine.

  • Warm water
  • No bleach

Put your garments in dryer.

  • Moderate heat
  • Low tumble

Do not iron on the printed designs. Iron inside out for best results.

What is a gang sheet?

Gang sheet means you can create a sheet with custom measurements and place as many different or same designs as you want on the same sheet.

How to create a gang sheet?

We suggest to create your gang sheet with Photoshop or Illustrator. You can also use Canva Premium.

Create your sheet with your desired measurements. For example:

  • Width: 22"
  • Length: 42"

Maximum printable width is 22". We suggest that you use this size parameter to get the most out of your gang sheet. 

Artwork requirements :

  • Resolution: 300dpi
  • Transparent background
  • Minimum line weight is 2 points
  • True to size graphics
  • Clean sharp edges
    Bad input will create a bad print.
  • What you see is what you get. Artwork must be created in the colors that it will be printed.

Once your gang sheet is created export it as .png or .pdf

Pressing troubleshooting

My colors are not like on the computer

We do our best to create the closest possible match with your input colors. However, some difference in shading may happen. DTF Transfers are printed with CMYK colors. Pantone colors are not always possible. Each monitor will show colors differently, make sure to calibrate your colors before placing an order.

Can I use an iron on or cricut press

Industrial grade heat presses are recommended. In order to have a long lasting print, a heavy pressure is required to transfer your design correctly. You can use an iron on or a cricut press at your own risk.

Transfers are peeling from my garments after first wash.

You need to increase pressure. Especially on fleece. Once your transfer is pressed on the garment, if correct you need to see fabric texture through the design.
