Our ready-to-press DTF transfers will give you all that and much more—without the need for expensive equipment, weeding vinyl, and all the other hassles.
- Full-Color Prints: We use a CMYK layering with a white underbase to produce bright and ultra-detailed prints. This captures subtle gradients and prints perfectly on light and dark garments.
- No Weeding or Cutting Out Backgrounds: Forget all the cutting and tedious weeding steps. Our DTF transfers come off the machine clean and crisp. Just make your cut, press it on, and you are ready to go.
- Soft & Stretchable Finish: Every transfer is designed to be lightweight and flexible, so your designs move with the garment, delivering a perfect soft-hand print every time.
- Compatibility: Whether you're customizing t-shirts, sweatshirts, or totes, our transfers will apply perfectly onto 100% cotton, polyester, or cotton/poly fabrics.
- Long Lasting: Our prints are made to last and, when applied properly, withstand repeated washes. Both color and vibrancy are retained, without peeling or fading!
Whether you're printing for a customer, a school event, or your own brand, our DTF heat transfers provide professional results without the need for a direct-to-film printer.
DTF Transfer That Fit Your Layout, Artwork and Deadlines
It's easy to get started—whether you’re ordering one design or a full gang sheet, we give you full control over how your custom DTF transfers are designed, sized, and printed. You upload the files, select your layout, and we do the rest—fast and accurately.
- Upload Your Own Art: Upload your own artwork and create exactly what you want. Whether it's for something personal or for your business, we print what you send. Nothing is altered; nothing is auto-scaled.
- Exact Size Printing: What you upload is exactly what gets printed. We do not scale, stretch, or remodel, ensuring that your designs come out with perfect proportions every time.
- Single Prints and Bulk Supported: Order a single image to create that one-off shirt, or order gang sheets in bulk for your next product drop. We support every type of crafter, small brand, or print shop.
- Vector and Raster Files: We accept .AI, .PDF, and .PNG file formats, so you can be creative and design your favorite program. Both vector files and high-resolution raster files will produce clear prints with sharp and vibrant results.
Whether you're running a brand, selling online, or making something for personal use, our custom DTF printing options allow you to create exactly what you need—without compromise.
Important:
Printing Small Details with DTF
To achieve the best results when printing fine details using Direct to Film (DTF), follow these important guidelines:
Minimum Size Requirements
- Fine Print Areas: Ensure that the smallest printed details are no smaller than 1 point (0.014"). Anything smaller may not print clearly or at all.
- Show-Through Gaps: Non-printing gaps or transparent areas should be at least 2 points (0.028"). Smaller gaps may unintentionally fill in during printing.
Artwork Size and Upload Instructions
- Save your artwork at the exact size you want it printed. For example, if you're ordering a 12" x 12" sheet but upload a 10" x 10" design, your image will be printed exactly at 10" x 10".
- Leave a margin around the edges of your artwork to prevent cropping or edge-related issues.
Do Not Mirror Your Image
Please submit your artwork exactly as you want it to appear on the garment.
Our production team will automatically mirror (invert) your design to ensure it prints and presses correctly during the DTF transfer process.
You don’t need to flip or reverse your artwork—we’ll handle that for you!
DTF Transfer Sheet Sizes, Materials and Turnaround Time
No matter if you're looking for one transfer or an entire gang sheet, we provide flexibility in size and fast turnaround on every order. Our DTF transfers are printed in-house with premium materials to ensure high quality, and we aim to minimize the wait time before your project is finished!

- PET Film Application: All transfers are printed on high-quality PET film that properly accepts ink evenly and peels without any defects during transfer application. The film is clear and stable and will allow proper positioning of your design exactly where you want it.
- White underbase: We use a white ink underbase with CMYK color buildup for vibrant, full-color print results, even on darker placement garments. When finished, the print is smooth, soft, and vibrant without cracking or fading.
- Quick Turnaround: Most custom orders are typically printed and shipped within 1-3 business days. Whether you're getting everything ready for your big launch, school project, or market stall pop-up, your transfers arrive fast and are press-ready.
