How it works

Logo to loading dock in 3–5 business days.

Step 1

Send the art

Any raster file at 300 dpi at full size works. Photographs are fine — this is the method that handles them.

Step 2

Digital proof

A flat mockup back the same day, usually within a few hours. No screens means no setup to commit to.

Step 3

Print & press

Printed to film, powdered, cured and heat pressed onto the garment one at a time.

Step 4

Out the door

Most DTF orders ship or are ready for pickup inside a week.

Real pricing

Decoration cost per piece. Published.

Decoration only — add the garment from the catalog. Setup is charged once and never again on a reorder of the same art.

Hybrid DTF is what a shop reaches for when screen printing does not make sense: a run of six, a design with forty colors, a one-off sample to show a committee. It sits soft on the garment and survives the wash, and because there are no screens there is no setup to pay for.

Sending us artwork

Best: .PNG at 300 dpi, sized to the finished print, transparent background.
Fine: vector .AI or .PDF — we rasterize it at print size.
Careful: a low-res screenshot will print exactly as blurry as it looks on screen. Send the biggest version you have.
Max transfer 13″ × 19″
Resolution 300 dpi at final size
Color space sRGB
Fabric Cotton, poly and blends

Questions we get every week

How does it hold up in the wash?

Wash cold, inside out, tumble dry low and it will outlast the shirt. Do not iron the print directly.

When should I use DTF instead of screen printing?

Under about thirty pieces, or any time the art has more than four colors or a photograph in it.

Can I buy transfers and press them myself?

Yes. Gang sheets are $13.50 a square foot with pressing instructions in the box.

Send us your logo. We’ll send back a mockup tomorrow.
