Upload Ready-To-Print DTF Transfer Files

$1.70 per sq ft · billed by the inch · $5.00 minimum

Already have print-ready artwork? Upload it and we print it as a DTF transfer, billed by the inch of print length.

No sheet sizes to pick and no builder. Your price is calculated from the file you upload.

Files below 96 DPI will be rejected.

Best for

  • One design, many copies
  • Ready-made files
  • Mixed sizes
  • Apparel
  • Priced by the inch

    $1.70 per sq ft of film, billed by the inch. $5.00 minimum.

  • Auto-rotate

    PNG, TIF, TIFF, PSD and PSB files can be turned to fit the roll and reduce film use. PDF files are not turned.

  • DPI check

    We read every file on upload. Below 96 DPI is rejected.

Example prices

Design Quantity Price
4 × 4 in × 24 $25.50
10 × 12 in × 24 $63.75
11 × 14 in × 50 $146.09
22 × 12 in × 10 $31.88

Price = length × quantity × $0.265625 per inch, after auto-rotate.

The examples are for PNG, TIF, TIFF, PSD and PSB files cropped to the design. Extra empty space around the design can change how the file is turned and cost more. PDF files are never turned: they are billed by their height as drawn.

Good to know

How wide can a file be?
Up to 22.5 inches, the width of our DTF roll.
Which file types can I upload?
PNG, TIF, TIFF, PDF, PSD and PSB, up to 500 MB each, 30 files at a time.
Can I add files after checkout?
No, each upload order is fixed once placed. Start a new order for more files.

Bring your own print-ready file

This is the option for anyone who already has their artwork laid out in Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, Canva, or anything else that exports a print-ready file. Upload the file and we print it as a DTF transfer exactly as supplied.

If you would rather arrange designs in your browser instead of preparing a file yourself, use our DTF gang sheets, which give you a layout tool and a fixed price per square foot.

DTF transfers are applied to fabric with a heat press: t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, caps, and most cotton and blend garments.

How pricing works

Priced by the length of what you upload. The exact figure is calculated from your file and shown before you add it to your cart, so there is nothing to estimate.

Minimum charge. If your files for this product come to less than the minimum shown above, the difference is added at checkout as a Minimum Charge Adjustment. Uploading several designs in one order counts toward the same minimum.

Tip: because you pay by length, a short wide layout costs less than a tall narrow one holding the same designs. Arranging pieces side by side rather than stacked is the cheapest way to order.

Uploading

  1. Upload your files. Drop them on the uploader or browse for them. We check each file as it uploads.
  2. Check each file’s resolution. We show the effective resolution of each file at its print size, and a quality word when it is below our best, so you can see before ordering whether it will print sharply.
  3. Add to cart. Your calculated price carries straight through to checkout.

File requirements

  • PNG files at 300 DPI with a fully transparent background.
  • Sized at final print size. What you place on the sheet is exactly what we print.
  • Trim the empty transparent space around each design before uploading.
  • Keep edges clean and sharp. Soft or semi-transparent edges print with a visible halo.

Do not mirror your artwork. DTF prints right-reading — a mirrored file comes out backwards on the garment.

Tip: what matters is 300 DPI at the size you will actually press. Scaling a small file up in the builder will not add detail back.

What we do not do

We print your files exactly as supplied — we do not remove backgrounds, resize artwork, or repair low-resolution images. We are a printing service, not a design studio.

Check your layout before ordering. Sheets go to print as submitted.

Settings

  • Temperature: 310–315°F
  • Time: 10–12 seconds
  • Peel: warm or hot — peel 2–3 seconds after pressing

Fine detail: if your design has small or delicate parts, cover it with a silicone or Teflon sheet and cold peel instead.

Run a test piece first. Press settings vary by garment and by machine. Press one test before committing a full run.
