QUICK TIPS:  (see graphic design tip sheet image)

Please refer to our STORE/PRINT POLICY page for more information. 

• Do NOT mirror your images.
  
  
• Images should be HIGH-QUALITY (300 dpi or more). A minimum dpi of 250 and above is recommended. Need help improving an image quality? Reach out here.
   
• Images should be in .PNG format - no other format is accepted. 
  
  
• Images should not have a background unless intended. 
  
  
• Images with transparency backgrounds or pieces will not print as is shown (glow effects, cloudy, ombre type smokey effects for example).
  
  
• If there's excess pixels or space around your image, make sure you trim it (see video link on how to do this using our software). Your image will print the size of the box displayed around your image. 
  
  
• Make sure there's enough space in-between your images and they are not overlapping. Make sure your images do not go past the cut-off borders shown.
  
  
• We cannot edit your gang sheets or work. Please double check before submitting them for print. 
  
• Gangsheet edits completed by you (the user) after they have already been submitted, may not get printed. Please reach out via email if you need to edit your submitted sheet to see if this is possible.

WARNING: Your gang sheet will print exactly as it is shown to you and created by you. Images that are low-quality (less than 300 dpi) will appear as an ERROR with an exclamation mark (!) and indicate low-quality. If you choose to still submit these, they could print blurry and or pixelated. We cannot change this so please ensure your images are high-quality. No refunds or exchanges permitted.

DTF Pressing Instructions

• Each order comes with pressing instructions
  
• It’s always a good idea to test your transfer first to find the ideal time + temp that works for your press as
  each heat press is made differently.
  
• We highly recommend using a commercial heat press.
  
• Apply HEAVY pressure. It should take two hands to pull your press shut.
  
• Peel your transfer swiftly, with confidence. Do not peel slowly if peeling hot. Think of it as ripping off a wax strip when you go to peel.
  
• Alternatively, you can wait for the transfer to cool and then peel.
  
  Material Temp Time
  100% Cotton 300°F 10secs
  50/50 Blends 300°F 10secs
  100% Polyester 275-300F 10secs
  
  SPECIFIC STEPS:
  Follow each step to ensure best results.

• 1. Pre press your material at time and temp above (300F for 5-10 seconds)
  
• 2. Apply the transfer face down, ensure heavy pressure, and press at 300F for 10 seconds
  
• 3. Swiftly peel the transfer off. Peeling it with confidence (not slowly) while it's hot OR wait for it to cool down and then peel
  
• 4. Give it a second press at 300F for 10 seconds but this time, place a piece of parchment paper/butcher paper or old t-shirt on top of your transfer and press. That's it! A stunning, matte and durable transfer is the end result.

Ideally, wait 24 hours before washing.

For apparel using DTF transfers:

• Wash inside out
• Wait 24 hours before washing
