Questions We Get Asked a Lot
Which product should I pick?
The best product for you will depend on two thingsāyour experience with DTF transfers and the size of your order.
We generally recommend ordering transfers by size for beginners who are looking to get started. This process focuses on individual designs with easy-to-follow instructions.
Our gang sheet sizing starts at 16x20 inches, so you will want to have enough artwork to cover this area before using the gang sheet option. Our builder is easy to use, with auto layout options and full control over adjusting your final layout.
With either option you can save your artwork for reorders and you will get the same proper quality.
What kind of files can I upload?
We accept PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, AI, and EPS files. Vector files (SVG, AI, EPS) are preferred for best results, but high-resolution raster files (300 DPI+) work great too.
If you have questions about setting up your artwork or unique file types, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Do you offer preferred pricing or loyalty discounts?
For you? We might make an exception. We'd rather work with the same good people long-term than just churn through orders. If you're planning to be a regular or need volume pricing, reach out. We'll figure out something that makes sense for both of us.

What fabrics work with DTF transfers?
DTF transfers work on cotton, polyester, cotton-polyester blends, performance fabrics, nylon, canvas, and most heat-compatible materials. Pretty much anything that won't melt under a heat press.
How do DTF Transfers compare to other printing methods?
DTF transfers stand out with several key advantages. There are no color limitations, allowing for intricate and complex designs. The transfers are remarkably thin and flexible, resulting in a soft "hand feel" on garments. Plus, our streamlined process ensures quick turnaround times, getting your custom creations to you faster.
How long do DTF transfers last?
Our DTF transfers are tested for 70+ wash cycles without fading, cracking, or peeling. Heat-bonded adhesion ensures long-lasting durability on all fabric types with proper application.
Can I use an iron to apply DTF transfers?
Yes, DTF transfers can be applied with a household iron, though heat press application provides more consistent results.
Set Your Heat: Start with your iron on the recommended setting for your specific fabric.
Press: Apply medium pressure evenly across the transfer for 15 to 20 seconds. Wait about 10 seconds before peeling.
Troubleshoot: If the design isn't fully sticking when you peel, lay the film back down. Apply more pressure and bump the heat up slightly (about 15Ā°F at a time, working toward the hottest setting your garment can safely handle). Don't worryāour transfers are tough, so extra presses won't hurt the ink.
The Final Polish: Once the clear film is off, cover the design with parchment paper or a scrap piece of cotton and press for 15 more seconds. This removes the shine, softens the feel, and locks the print into the fabric.
