FAQ's

What is DTF printing?

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing creates full-color transfers that are heat-pressed onto garments. DTF works on cotton, poly, blends, and more, and holds fine detail, gradients, and vibrant color.

What can I press these transfers on?

Most common: t-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks, tote bags, hats (flat areas), and more. Best results are on smooth, flat fabrics (cotton/poly blends are perfect).

What file type do you need?

Preferred: PNG with a transparent background (300 DPI). 

What size/resolution should my artwork be?

For best quality, submit artwork at 300 DPI at the final print size. If your file is low-res, prints may look soft or pixelated.

Do you print white ink?

Yes. DTF uses white ink underbase so your designs pop on dark garments.

What is a gang sheet?

A gang sheet is one sheet with multiple designs arranged to maximize space and save money. Great for brands, teams, and bulk orders.

Do you offer gang sheet building?

If you already have a gang sheet ready, upload it.

What are the most common press settings?

A solid starting point for most DTF transfers:

  • Temperature: 300F

  • Time: 10 seconds

  • Pressure: Medium to firm
    Settings vary by press, fabric, and transfer type—always do a test press first.

  • Warm peel

How should I wash garments after pressing?

For longevity:

  • Wait 24 hours before first wash

  • Wash inside-out

  • Cold or warm water

  • Tumble low or hang dry

  • Avoid bleach and high heat

My transfers aren’t sticking—what should I do?

Most issues are press-related. Check:

  • Press reaches true temp (use a temp gun/strip)

  • Increase pressure slightly

  • Press longer by 2–5 seconds

  • Ensure garment is pre-pressed to remove moisture
    If it’s still happening, send us photos/video and your press settings—we’ll help troubleshoot.
