Tips to Get the Best Results with Your Custom DTF Transfers

Even if you're ordering individual custom sizes, it's important to set up your artwork correctly. Here's what you need to know to ensure a smooth printing and pressing process:

๐ŸŽจ File Setup Guide

  • Accepted formats: PNG with transparent background (recommended), PSD, AI, or PDF
  • Resolution: Minimum 300 DPI
    Color mode: RGB
  • Backgrounds: Remove all background layers before submitting
  • Outline fonts: If submitting vector files, make sure fonts are outlined

Tip: For best results, avoid blurry screenshots or compressed files. Always upload the original high-resolution design.

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ How to Check Your Design Before Uploading

  • Zoom in to 300% to inspect edges for pixelation
  • Make sure all elements are within the selected dimensions
  • Avoid gradients that are too subtleโ€”they may not print well
  • Double-check spelling and small details (especially on neck labels or fine text)

๐Ÿงผ Surface & Pressing Tips

  • Even though your transfer arrives ready to apply, the success of the final result depends on proper garment prep and heat press use. See the Application Process for step-by-step instructions.

๐ŸŽฏ When to Use Custom Size Transfers

  • Perfect for individual logos
  • Ideal for sleeve prints, neck tags, and small placements
  • Great when you donโ€™t need a full sheet or multiple designs
