Answers to the 23 most common questions about DTF transfers, gang sheets, files, pressing, shipping and pickup.
DTF (direct-to-film) prints your design onto a special film, coats it with adhesive powder and cures it. You then apply the transfer to fabric with a heat press. No pretreatment, no weeding and no color limits.
One 22" wide sheet with many designs printed on it together. You pay for the sheet, not each design, then cut the designs apart and press them. See what is a DTF gang sheet.
Every DTF gang sheet is 22" wide, in lengths from 12" up to 200". UV DTF sheets are 22" wide, 5" to 100" long.
Use the Gang Sheet Builder to arrange designs online, Upload Your Gang Sheet if you already have a 22" print-ready file, or transfers by size for a single design.
