Printing the sanctuary's tees

Printed and dispatched within 24 hours or your money back. That's why the sanctuary had them a day early.

Twenty tees for the wildlife sanctuary up the road. Ten for the gift shop, ten for the volunteers, five sizes. They needed them by Saturday.

That's the job in the ad you just clicked. Here's what's behind it, and how to do the same one on your press this week.

The twenty shirt job you've been turning away

If you do shirts for local clubs, shops or small businesses, you know it. A twenty shirt job, five sizes, two placements, wanted by the weekend. Small jobs like that used to get a no, because minimums and turnaround made the numbers stupid.

The old ways

The fix
DTF transfers
  • One gang sheet, full colour, any fabric, any colour shirt
  • No minimum, no screens, no setup
  • Printed and dispatched within 24 hours
  • Ten seconds a shirt, pressed as the orders come in
  • 52 wash guarantee, in writing

One honest limit. Five hundred of the same single-colour print on the same tee? A screen printer will beat us on price. Under that, or anything in colour, or any mix of sizes, a gang sheet wins.

Order twenty, not two hundred. A person checks it, it leaves in 17 hours, and the reorder takes 30 seconds. Here's what's behind that.

Five years ago we were on the same off-the-shelf builder as everyone else. Fixed sheet sizes. Pay for the blank space. Orders re-typed by hand. No way to see where your job was.

So we spent eighteen months writing our own. We call it Print ERP. No other DTF supplier in Australia runs it, because nobody else built it.

It now looks after more than 10,000 customers. It prints 20,000 to 30,000 different artwork files a month. It runs every order from your upload to our dispatch door. Here's what that means for your job.

  • The rolling canvas. The sheet is as long as your job and not a centimetre more. A twenty shirt job costs a twenty shirt amount. The sanctuary's came to 325 centimetres. That's what was charged.

    “I used to have to wait until I had enough orders to justify a gang sheet. Now I can order in smaller quantities as I need them.”

    Allison Saunders, April 2026
  • The check, inside the order. Tick quality review and a person opens your file in the same system. They approve it or message you. Every note is there for you to read.

    “They always check your work before printing. Mine often comes back with feedback, but it's great that they're checking every detail.”

    Andrea B, September 2026
  • No hand-offs. Approval, print, dispatch, one system, nobody re-keying anything. That's the reason our average order leaves in 17 hours. We promise 24, and in five years we haven't once had to refund it.

    “Send through your Monday idea, be on the racks for Friday and be counting refills by Sunday night.”

    Eric, retail clothing business, July 2026
  • Saved canvases. The sanctuary's sheet stays in your account. The reorder is one click.

    “They reissued my same order. The process took 30 seconds.”

    Melinda Munns, September 2025
  • Six-head, nine-colour printers, one of the largest fleets of them in Australia. The machines give you the colour and the print speed. The software is what gets your order onto them within hours instead of days.

    “I've tried others. The quality of Amazing Transfers is by far the best.”

    Karen Stremski, August 2026

Artwork sent Tuesday, box at the gate Friday. Every step.

Tuesday, late afternoon: sent the artwork.

One gang sheet, built in the online builder. Twenty back prints and twenty chest logos on one continuous sheet, 58 centimetres wide, as long as the job needs. Add two spare chest logos for a couple of dollars in case one presses wrong. Want us to check the artwork before it prints? Tick quality review when you add it to the cart. It's free. We approve it, or send you a message with what needs changing. Nothing prints that we haven't looked at.

Wednesday: printed and dispatched.

Within 24 business hours of approval, on Express Post. You can watch it move through review, print and dispatch from your account.

Thursday morning: gang sheet turned up.

One roll, twenty backs and twenty chests, ready to cut.

Thursday, after tea: pressed the lot, about 10 seconds each.

Twenty shirts in about half an hour, because every size takes the same transfer and the same press.

Friday morning: box at the gate.

A day early.

Say yes once and the reorders come to you

They've already asked for kids' sizes. The artwork is saved in your account. Order the exact number and press them the night they arrive. Nothing gets printed until it's sold.

Blanks come in 24 colours and every size from kids up, and nobody can pre-print their way through that. With transfers you don't have to. The gift shop wants two more in green, medium, and a volunteer wants one in navy, XL. Keep transfers in a drawer, grab the blank, press and go.

That's the part that matters. Turn the twenty tees away and the sanctuary orders online. So does the reorder, and the fete, and the footy club after that. Say yes once, and you're the first call for every job they've got.

What decorators ask before their first order

How do I order?

Five steps, about ten minutes the first time. Hit Upload your artwork on the product page. Upload your PNG files into the sheet builder. Drag each design onto the sheet, set its size in centimetres and the quantity. The price updates centimetre by centimetre as you add. Tick quality review when you add it to the cart if you want us to check the artwork. Then pay. No account needed, though with one you can track the order and reorder in a minute.

How do I apply them? You cut, you press, you peel.

Three steps, a few seconds each. Tap a video to watch.

You cut
You press
You peel
The logo they sent is a low-res PNG off their Facebook page. Will it print?

Files want to be PNG, 300 dpi, transparent background, no lines finer than about a millimetre. If you're not sure theirs is, tick quality review at the cart and we check it before it prints. If it's good, we approve it and it goes to print. If it's too soft or the fine text is too thin, you get a message with what to change. If you'd rather we fix it, there's a small artwork fee and you see the result before anything prints.

Does it feel like a patch?

No. It's a good deal softer than vinyl and doesn't have the rough, raised feel of screen print. The adhesive stretches with the fabric. A solid badge like this one moves with the shirt instead of sitting on top of it.

They want it Saturday.

Printed and dispatched within 24 business hours of artwork approval, guaranteed. Express Post is one to two business days to metro. Order Tuesday afternoon, printed and dispatched Wednesday, on your bench Thursday, box at the gate Friday.

Volunteer shirts get washed every week.

Guaranteed against cracking, peeling or separating for the first 52 washes when pressed and cared for as recommended. Wash inside out, cold or warm, no bleach, line dry.

I've only got a small press.

Any flat heat press. A chest logo and a 28 centimetre back print both fit a 38 by 38 platen.

What settings do I press at?
150°Ccotton
130°Cpolyester
Heavypressure, about 90 psi
Warm peelslow and smooth
  1. Pre-press the tee for 3 to 5 seconds to take the moisture out.
  2. Position the transfer, print side up. Press for 8 to 12 seconds.
  3. Peel the film while it's still warm, slow and smooth.
  4. Cover with baking paper and press 5 seconds more for the finish. Don't wash for 24 hours.

Cotton, poly blends and most fabrics, same transfer. Full settings and videos in the application and care guide.

What if I botch a press, or it arrives damaged?

Add a couple of spares to the sheet. A 10 centimetre logo is under a dollar. Anything damaged in transit is covered by our own insurance and reprinted and shipped free.

Can I see where my order's at?

Order without an account if you like. With one, you watch the order move through artwork review, printing and dispatch in real time. Your sheets are saved, so a reorder takes about a minute.

Kids' sizes through to men's XL.

Same transfer. Put two logo sizes on the sheet if you want the kids' chest print smaller. When the reorder comes, the file's still in your account and you order the exact number.

It's a not-for-profit. The budget is tight.

You pay per centimetre of sheet, so a twenty shirt job costs a twenty shirt amount. There's no setup fee to spread across a bigger run. That's what makes the small jobs worth saying yes to.

I don't want to hold stock.

You don't. Order the sheet when the job's confirmed and press to order. Leftover transfers keep flat in a drawer for up to six months. The reorder is a ten second press, not a print run. Plain blanks stay plain until someone pays for them.

Is there a better rate if I order often?

Yes. Load a VIP wallet from $300 and we add bonus value on top: an additional 3% at $300, up to an additional 24% at $4,000. It never expires and applies to any DTF or UV DTF sheet order. VIP orders jump the print queue. You manage it all from your account. Details on the VIP wallet page.

Volunteer on the boardwalk in the pressed tee

Next time a small local job comes in, say yes. We've got you.
