All sizes are based on the longest side of your design.

• If your design is wider than it is tall, the width will match the selected size.

Let's Make Sure Your File Is Print-Ready
To ensure your design prints exactly as expected, please follow these guidelines before uploading your file:

✅ Do not mirror your image – our system mirrors it automatically

✅ 300 DPI resolution or higher at the final print size

✅ Remove any unwanted backgrounds – we print all visible ink, including white

✅ Outline thickness: Minimum 0.02 pt for proper adhesive coverage

✅ Text height: At least 0.35" for clean, press-ready results

✅ Color mode: RGB recommended (we convert automatically)

✅ File types accepted: .AI, .PDF, .PSD (color shifts may occur)

✅ Avoid transparency or see-through effects – they will print as white

❗ Color Disclaimer – Please Read

We do not offer color matching. All printers use CMYK color mode, and while our software automatically converts from RGB to CMYK, slight color shifts may occur. This is due to RGB having a broader color range than CMYK. For best results, please review your artwork carefully before uploading.

1. Pre-press your garment for 5 seconds at 300°F to eliminate wrinkles and moisture. This also helps the transfer adhere evenly to the fabric.

2. Position the DTF transfer (design facing up) and press for 8-10 seconds at 300°F using heavy pressure.

3. Peel the film hot or cold—our hybrid film allows for both methods. For polyester or heat-sensitive fabrics, we recommend lowering the temperature and allowing the fabric to cool for 5–10 seconds before peeling for optimal results.

If using our Glitter film, allow it to cool completely before attempting to peel it. Our Glitter DTF film is cold peel only.

4. Press again for at least 5 seconds at 300°F using a Teflon sheet or parchment paper. This step bonds the ink into the fabric.

🗂️ How to Store DTF Transfers
Proper storage keeps your transfers in perfect condition until you're ready to press. Follow these tips to extend their shelf life and ensure flawless results:
• Keep them flat – prevents warping or curling
• Use protective sheets – reduces dust and scratches
• Store in a cool, dry place – away from heat and moisture
• Avoid UV exposure – sunlight can degrade ink over time
• Keep away from chemicals – even fumes can cause damage
• Use airtight containers – ideal for long-term storage and protection.

📦 Pro tip: Clear plastic file organizers or sleeves work great!

👕 How to Wash DTF-Decorated Apparel
To keep your prints vibrant and long-lasting, follow these care instructions:
• Turn the garment inside out
• Machine wash cold
• Do not Bleach
• Do not use fabric softeners
• Tumble dry low
• Do not iron directly on the design
