Artwork Requirements

Files that print best are:

  • .eps
  • .pdf
  • Artwork within the file can be flattened/rasterized, but a vector file is required to have the cut path indicated by a vector stroke line.

File Requirements

  • Set up to file to the size you’re ordering the product as. 
  • Cut line is indicated with a vector stroke line. Pink is the preferred color.
  • All decal files require a minimum of 1/16" bleed. 
  • Convert all text to outlines.
  • Make sure no elements are selected for "Overprint"

*We recommend choosing rich black (100-100-100-100) over CMYK (0-0-0-100). Rich black is true black — it has a less charcoal gray appearance *

We print in four color CMYK or six color CMYKLcLm. Please keep this in mind when submitting files for printing as color tone shifting may happen if file is submitted in RGB format. If there is a specific PMS color you need, please specify that to us when submitting your order so we can help you verify that the proper color mix is used (vector artwork only).

Customer supplied files are printed as they are received so we cannot guarantee color, clarity or final output as we are just printing the supplied files and have not set them up for printing.

If you are concerned about the file output we will be happy to do a test print for a nominal fee prior to final order if requested.

All our printers are calibrated daily to International Color Consortium (ICC) coloring profile standards to ensure accurate color production.

How to Apply Your DTF Heat Transfer

Applying your DTF Heat Transfer is simple - even for beginners and can be done with both a commercial heat press or an at home iron. 

1. Prep your surface: Start by making sure the item you're transferring onto is clean and wrinkle-free. Give the material a quick press to help ensure a smooth application surface

2. Position your design:  Place your DTF transfer onto your desired surface with the clear film (masking) side facing up.

3. Apply Heat:

  • For cotton T-shirts: Press at approximately 350°F for 15 seconds.
  • For sweatshirts: Press at the same temperature for 30 seconds.
  • For polyester fabrics: Reduce the temperature to around 290°F and press for 15 seconds.

4. Peel Away: Allow the transfer to cool before peeling the film off in one smooth, even motion. 

Optional: for best results after peeling, put a piece of parchment paper over the image and repress for 5 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a DTF transfer?

A: A heat transfer decal is made by using direct-to-film (DTF) technology. This lets the image be transferred to materials and other heat-safe surfaces. The design is printed with no background, allowing the design to blend into the fabric once applied.

Q: What is DTF Printing?

A: Direct-To-Film or DTF is a printing process where designs are placed onto a special film. This film is then transferred onto different fabrics using heat. Direct-To-Film is often used for apparel and other fabric-based products because of its versatility and durability. It’s also important to note that in the printing industry, DTF can also be used to refer to Direct-To-Fabric, which is a process in which the design is printed onto a fabric roll before being cut and assembled.

Q: Are your DTF Transfers printed in full color?

A: You bet! We digitally print our iron-on heat transfers in full CMYK color, allowing you to have the choice of what colors, fonts and images you want for no additional charge! 

Q: How Small or large can my heat transfers be?

A: Our custom DTF transfers have a minimum width and height of 2” and a maximum height and width of 13".

Q: Are DTF transfers machine washable?

A: Absolutely! All of our DTF transfers are machine washable/dryable. We recommend turning your shirt inside out when washing and drying to extend the lifespan of the iron-on transfer.

Q: How long do DTF transfers last?

A: DTF transfers or otherwise known as heat transfer can last quite a long time, although it’s all going to come down to a few variables. For example, when you are washing your transfer, use cold water to help preserve the integrity of the print. Avoid intense or high-heat dryers, as excessive heat can cause the design to deteriorate over time. The most important thing to keep in mind is that a well applied heat transfer oftentimes results in long-lasting, high-quality results.

Q: What surfaces can direct-to-film transfers be placed on?

A: Our direct-to-film transfers work best with fabric materials like cotton, polyester, and their blends. However, direct-to-film transfers are not recommended for soft fabrics like silk or heat-sensitive fabrics.
