Your artwork should be uploaded as a PNG. Artwork should be a minimum of 300dpi (the higher the resolution, the better quality of print). If you wish to have a transparent background on your artwork, please provide it that way. All gang sheets uploaded need to be uploaded with a transparent background.

Please make sure that your artwork does not have large empty spaces around it as that is included when changing the size in the gang builder so the final image will not be the size you were hoping for …

Any size up to a max of 58cm wide. As a rule of thumb, pocket area prints are generally 10x10cm.

Letterbox prints (rectangle) are 28cm wide by 10cm high and large prints 28cm x 28cm … but the beauty of DTF is you can scale your prints to fit any size of garment.

Yes we can. They look amazing. Make sure to provide 300dpi high resolution photos.

The quality may not look great. If your artwork is low resolution, and it’s pixelated or has areas of opacity (semi-transparent pixels) the design will have more white added, which will affect the colours and white will peak outside of the edges of the artwork.

No, if you supply good quality high resolution artwork (300dpi) there will not be white peeking out.

No, unfortunately, it doesn't work like that.

Changing the resolution, say from 72 dpi to 300dpi in your editing software does not make the artwork 300dpi. The quality of the image does not really improve.

It is important to note that if the artwork is of poor quality, or if the artwork has semi-transparent or translucent pixels it will be blurry/pixelated when printed and it could result in the white underbase showing.

We can size your artwork for you but there will be a small artwork fee for this … or you can resize it yourself in an image editing software, if you don’t have access to editing software like Photoshop, we recommend Photopea as it is a free online app similar to Photoshop.

In one word no, due to the way in which a DTF printer prints, as every pixel is printed and then an underbase white background is printed over it ... For this reason you need to ensure that your background is 100% transparent. If you are looking for ways to keep the fadeout/shadow we recommend halftoning your designs.

That depends on your artwork size. Before you create your sheets and pay, you may want to get a quote or work out if it is within your budget....

You can use our nifty cost calculator to work it out.

Some examples:
You can get 175, 10cm x 10cm pocket area prints on 2 square metres.
You can get 68, 28cm x 10cm letterbox prints on 2 square metres.
You can get 24, 28cm x 28cm prints on 2 square metres.

We print on rolls of film not sheets. We can print any size of artwork and up to a max width of 58cm. A4 and A3 sizes are used by hobbyist printers.

DTF printers use a CMYK colour model … Your computer screen and artwork software like Photoshop use RGB … Every single computer screen is different and will display colours differently. All of our printers are colour calibrated using a I1 Publisher Pro 3 spectrophotometer. The profile we use can take RGB and convert it to CMYK correctly.

Yes, we can for a small fee …

You will need to physically send us a reference to colour match to. It can be a garment or colour swatch. Fee: $30.

Yes, we can send you a colour swatch for a small fee of $30. The colour swatch will give you a very wide spectrum of different colours for you to use and match colours. You will also receive an electronic version for you to colour pick from within your image editing software.

It's a predefined canvas size that all your artwork is provided on.

Our turnaround time is 24 hours from payment and artwork approval.

Our 24 hour turnaround starts from when your artwork is approved by our team for printing.

Once you place your order, it is placed in the queue for artwork approval. All orders are dealt with in numerical order so all orders placed before yours will need to be approved first.

Any orders placed after 3pm on Friday until 8am Monday will be checked as quickly as possible by our team on Monday. Due to the sheer volume of orders placed over this time the artwork approval queue can take a little longer on a Monday.

Also, orders placed after 4pm on a business day will be placed in the queue for artwork approval the next business day.

Please bear in mind that while we print your order within 24 hours of artwork approval we cannot guarantee that it will be dispatched immediately as our couriers collect our packages before 2pm (business days).We will however dispatch it as quickly as possible and it will be collected with the next scheduled courier pick up.

Once you have placed your order, if it is during business hours (8am - 4pm) it will be placed into the queue for artwork approval. If you have placed your order outside of business hours it will be placed into the artwork approval queue the very next business day. Our team works tirelessly checking artwork and letting customers know if there is an issue, so if you don’t hear from us, check your spam folder (we sometimes end up in there, so make sure to whitelist our emails).

Once your artwork is approved it will be placed in the queue to be made print-ready, this involves quite a few steps …

Our 4 graphic designers are perfectionists and take the time to make sure your artwork is on point and ready to be printed.

Once your artwork is print-ready it is placed in the queue for printing by our ganging team.

We get it, sometimes you’re so excited you place your order and then realise you have made a mistake … The best thing to do is to call us immediately and ask us to place your order on hold, then we can send you the edit links and you can resubmit your artwork.

Unfortunately, due to our super quick turnaround time, if your order has been through the approval process and is on the queue for printing it cannot be edited or cancelled.

If you need to cancel/refund your order for any reason, the sooner you do it the better. If we have worked on your order or been emailing back and forth in regards to your order and you still wish to cancel your order an administration fee will be charged.

We use commercially built industrial DTF wide format printers for both our UV DTF and our DTF Heat Transfers. They all have 4 print heads and allow us to print amazing quality. Four head printers print extremely fast, which helps us keep a good turnaround time.

We use our own specialised ink, film and powder. We have tested just about every type of consumable and have developed our own formulas. The combination of all 3 is why we have very resilient prints, with vibrant colours that feel very soft to the touch.

DTF Heat Transfer ink is water-based (but does not wash out). Our ink formula is super vibrant and can do bright colours.

Our DTF Heat Transfers come on double sided matt film, which is hot peel and is super easy to peel.

Our adhesive powder is super stretchy and produces a very soft feel.

Clean the surface: Start by cleaning the surface where you plan to apply the decal. Use a lint free cloth and rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt, oil, etc that may be present. Allow the item to air dry before applying.

1. Peel away the backing film: Gently peel the backing paper off the decal. Be very careful not to touch the adhesive side of the decal, this can leave fingerprints or marks on your transfer.

2. Carefully position the decal: Carefully position the decal on the surface. Use your fingers or a plastic card (like a credit card edge) to carefully smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles that appear. Take your time to work the decal onto the surface starting from the centre of the decal and working out to the edges. Remember these transfers are meant to be permanent, so apply carefully.

3. Apply pressure: Once the decal has been placed onto the surface use your fingertips to apply pressure throughout the design. This helps ensure a solid bond between the transfer and surface.

4. Remove clear carrier sheet: Gently peel the clear transfer (carrier) sheet away from the surface. Work slowly to ensure you don't pull up the decal from the surface. If the decal does pull up, just push it back down and rub with firm pressure before trying to remove it again.

Please note: Do not wash or submerge in water for 36 hours after application.

They can be applied to most hard surfaces …

They can be applied to metal, wood, glass, ceramic, plastic, acrylic, PVC, leather and much more …

While UV DTF is incredibly durable, to ensure longevity we recommend avoiding dishwashers and microwaves whenever possible.

Handwashing will help maintain the quality and longevity of the transfer for years to come. UV DTF will hold up well to wear and tear, but be aware that a hard drop or tough scratch may still cause damage to the transfer.

Hand wash only. Do not soak. Do not microwave and avoid extreme heat.
