Artwork Requirements for DTF Transfers
-
✅ File Format & Quality
- Submit a transparent PNG at 300 DPI, sized at the exact dimensions you want printed.
- Accepted file types: .AI, .PDF, .PSD, .PNG
- Do NOT mirror your artwork—our system does this automatically.
- Backgrounds must be removed before submitting. If your design has a visible background, it will be printed as-is.
- White ink prints: If your file includes a white box or background, it will be printed.
-
✅ Artwork Specifications
- Outlines & Lines: Minimum 0.02pt width to ensure proper adhesion to the garment.
- Fonts: Convert all text to curves and flatten.
- Maximum Print Size: We offer a gang sheet showing you the maximum sheet size we offer, please adhere to these guidlines.
- Small/Fine Print: Text smaller than 0.35 inches tall or intricate details may not print clearly or transfer properly. Add a stroke or thicken fine details for the best results.
- Transparency & Effects: Drop shadows, gradients, and transparency effects do not work for DTF printing. Remove these before submitting.
- Resolution: Artwork should be high resolution (300 DPI) to avoid pixelation or blurry prints. Anything lower than 300dpi will show up as poor quality when using the gang sheet builder. Low-quality images may result in unwanted white outlines.

- Color Accuracy: We do NOT guarantee color matching. Please check your colors before submission. Create your designs in CMYK to prevent any change in colour.
