Custom DTF Gang Sheets

DTF (direct-to-film) technology is an innovative printing method that creates vibrant, long-lasting designs onto specialized film. These graphics are then applied to garments using heat. This printing technology stands out for its exceptional adaptability to a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and their blends. It ensures outstanding results on both light and dark textiles.

Is an optimized film that combines multiple graphics in a single space. This setup maximizes use of the printable area, resulting in more efficient production and reduced material waste — perfect for large batches of customized apparel or promotional items.

You can create a multi-design layout with any design program like Photoshop, Illustrator, or Canva.com. Here's how to do it:
- Set your artboard to be 22 inches wide. The length will vary based on how many designs or logos you want to include.
- Set the resolution to 300 DPI, and the color mode is RGB.
- Upload your images to your chosen design program. For the best print quality, use vector images.
- Adjust each logo or image to the needed size and replicate as required.
- Save your layout as a PNG file with a transparent background.

We recommend using high-quality image formats such as PNG, PSD, AI, or TIFF. PNG files are often preferred because of their excellent handling of transparency and ability to maintain crisp detail without creating excessively large files. Vector formats like AI and EPS offer unparalleled scalability, ensuring your designs remain sharp at any size. PSD files are also a good choice for intricate artwork thanks to their flexibility.

Absolutely! Printing various designs on a single layout is not only possible, it's a fundamental benefit of the direct-to-film process. This versatility streamlines production for a wide array of graphic projects.

Our heat press applications are incredibly versatile, working well on a wide range of materials. You'll get excellent results on fabrics like 100% cotton, cotton/poly blends, 100% polyester, polyester blends, tri-blends (for a soft, vintage feel), nylon (great for activewear), leather, and denim. These applications are perfect for personalizing items such as tote bags, caps, hoodies, sweatshirts, and canvas.

However, there are some important considerations:

• Sublimated Jerseys: Avoid applying designs to sublimated jerseys. This helps prevent dye migration, which can affect print quality.
• Challenging Materials: Transfers generally don't work well on fabrics with coatings (like silicone or water-resistant materials) or certain nylon mixes. These coatings can prevent proper adhesion, impacting print quality and durability. Fabrics with very rough textures or high elasticity may also not be suitable.

Yes, you can use a household iron to apply your transfers. However, for the best, most durable results, we highly recommend using a heat press. A heat press provides consistent temperature and even pressure, both of which are essential for proper adhesion and ensuring that your transfers will last through many washes. Irons simply can't provide the necessary precision for optimal application.

These prints are highly durable and can withstand frequent washing and daily wear. Proper application and care will ensure long-lasting results.

Proper storage is crucial to ensure the integrity of your printed films. Store them flat in an airtight container, such as a sealed plastic bin or heavy-duty Ziploc bag. Maintain a cool, dark, and dry environment to prevent deterioration. Refrain from rolling, folding, or stacking the sheets, as these actions can compromise the heat applications and diminish their quality. An optimal storage climate involves temperatures between 65 and 70 °F (18 and 21 °C) and humidity levels below 50%.

To ensure the integrity and longevity of your printed film, it is essential to store it flat. Avoid rolling or folding, as this can damage the design and adhesive, especially along the edges. Rolling also exerts pressure that can affect adhesion or cause wrinkling. For best preservation, keep your sheets flat in a clean, dry space, away from sunlight and weight.
