What is a DTF transfer?
Direct To Film (DTF) is a modern printing technique that enables the direct transfer of intricate designs, in any color, onto a specialized film. This film can then be applied to a wide range of fabrics, such as cotton, polyester, and linen, using a heat press for a quick 15-second transfer.

What file format is best for submitting my artwork?
We can handle almost any file format. However, .ai (true vector), high-resolution .png, or .pdf files work best.
What size should I make my graphics?
Help! My transfer wont release from the film.
Sometimes instant/hot peel can give us issues too. We've fought the urge to press it hotter or longer when it looks like it isn't adhering to the fabric. Instead, let it cool (we use a little fan or blower to help it along if we are in a hurry) and then peel. Don't forget to hit it with heat a second time to get ultimate durability.
