What are my printing options?

What are the image requirements?

You can upload a custom file for printing. Choose between a Roll or SheetFiles should be .PNG images sized to match your order on a transparent background with a minimum resolution of 300 DPI.

 

Why can’t you fix my artwork? (You used to fix my artwork)

We used to make more image adjustments and convert files, but we heard from customers that sometimes when we made changes it unintentionally changed the size of their images or otherwise caused a problem, such as scaling up lower resolution images causing a blur. Based on that feedback (and to streamline our fulfillment) we are working with customers to ensure the files submitted match their order and meet the filetype, resolution, and size requirements instead of trying to make unapproved changes.

Heat Press Questions

To press our designs you’ll need a heat press that can deliver consistent temperatures for 15 seconds of pressing. We recommend 300-310 degrees Fahrenheit for cotton fabrics and 260-280 degrees Fahrenheit for polyester and blends. (Wait to peel the design until it’s cold to the touch.) We recommend medium to high pressure for most items.

 

Washing Instructions

For washing clothing with a new DTF Transfer print, we recommend turning the garment inside out, machine washing in cold water, and tumble drying on low heat. In general, we don’t recommend using bleach, fabric softeners, or an iron on the print area.

 

Issues With a Print (ex. “My prints are messed up”)

We’re sorry that happened. Can you email us the details and picture(s) at support@dtftransferzone.com so we can review and come up with a resolution?

 

Do you offer hot peel?

At this time we only offer cold peel. Check back often for new updates.

 

What are the image size recommendations? How many images fit? Sizing of sheets?

We generally recommend about 11” wide for a unisex or men’s shirt while 10” logos for women’s generally fit well. This does vary based on your design and preferences.

You can customize the sheets and rolls with as many images as will fit based on the dimensions of the sheet and your images. You can create an order using our Online Designer or upload a custom file using one of our different sized Rolls or Sheets. Files should be .PNG images on a transparent background with a minimum resolution of 300 DPI.

 

Do you have an order minimum?

We would love to support you with your custom DTF Transfers. We accept orders of any size. Just check out our different product offerings on the website for various sizes and pricing options. Two of our most popular options are creating an order using our Online Designer or uploading a custom file using one of our different sized Rolls or Sheets.

 

Can you heat print on Koozies?

You can definitely heat press onto koozies (we recommend a few extra transfers in case of mistakes and a lower heat when applying DTF Transfers to koozies). Your image or file should have the images you’re using repeated. You can create an order using our  Online Designer or uploading a custom file using one of our different sized Rolls or Sheets.
