Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we offer sample DTF transfers so you can test our print quality, colours, feel and durability before placing a larger order. Sample options are available on our website.

Our transfers are designed to be long-lasting and durable when applied correctly with a suitable heat press and cared for according to our washing instructions.

DTF printing can help reduce waste by allowing you to print only what you need. We also aim to use reliable materials and efficient production methods wherever possible.

Yes, you can, but small desktop DTF printers can be unstable and often require regular maintenance. Many customers find that professional industrial DTF printing gives better consistency, stronger colour accuracy and faster production compared with home machines.

Our transfers can reproduce detailed artwork, fine lines, gradients and complex designs. For best results, please upload high-resolution, print-ready artwork with a transparent background.

No, we do not charge by the colour. You can print full-colour artwork, gradients and detailed designs without extra colour charges.

DTF transfers can be applied to many fabrics including cotton, polyester, cotton/poly blends, denim and more. Pressing temperature and pressure may vary depending on the garment material.

We currently offer the following DTF transfer options:

• A5 DTF Sheet: 148mm x 210mm

The carrier film is PET and may be recyclable depending on your local recycling facilities.

Yes. A gang sheet is a transfer sheet containing multiple designs. You can upload your own ready-made gang sheet or create one directly on our website using our gang sheet builder.

Your artwork should be supplied as a print-ready PNG file at the size you want it to be printed. 300 DPI is recommended for best results.

Please make sure your background is 100% transparent. Any visible background in your file may be printed as received. A heat press is required for application; DTF transfers cannot be applied properly with a regular household iron.

Please do not mirror your artwork.

Please provide your artwork as an RGB, print-ready PNG file for the best colour result.

No, we do not provide artwork proofs as part of the standard ordering process. We print your transfers using the artwork you upload, so please check your files carefully before placing your order.

Please follow our artwork preparation instructions before ordering. If you would like us to check your artwork, you can contact us by email. Please note that artwork checking or amendments may slow down production and may be chargeable depending on the work required.

• Pre-press your garment for a few seconds to remove moisture.
• Place the transfer on the garment and cover with a silicone sheet or greaseproof paper.
• For cotton: Press at 150°C for 12 seconds.
• For polyester: Press at 145°C for 12 seconds.
• Allow the transfer to cool for a few seconds or wipe with a damp cloth, then peel.
• Re-press for 3 seconds for a stronger finish.

We recommend using a commercial heat press for the best results. We do not recommend applying DTF transfers with a domestic iron or a press without suitable pressure control.

Yes, our transfers are hot peel. For best results, allow the transfer to cool for a few seconds after pressing or wipe with a damp cloth before peeling. They can also work as cold peel if preferred.

After pressing, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before washing the garment. Wash inside out at 40°C or cooler, do not tumble dry, and iron only on the reverse side of the garment.
