How to set up a print-ready DTF gang sheet file
We print what you send, so the file decides the result. Five things to check before you upload.
Artboard size
23 inches wide by the length you ordered: 24, 60, 84, 120, 180, 240 or 360 inches. Keep designs at least 0.25 inch from the edges and from each other so they are easy to cut.
300 dpi at print size
Export at 300 dpi at the finished size. Upscaled web images print soft. Vector files (PDF) are ideal; embed fonts first.
Transparent background
Anything that is not transparent prints, including white boxes behind logos. Use PNG or PDF with transparency.
Do not mirror
Upload the sheet reading the right way round. We mirror it for printing. A pre-mirrored file prints backwards on the shirt.
Color and white
RGB or CMYK both work; our RGBO profile handles the conversion. White areas print with white ink. Thin lines and text under 6 pt may not survive pressing.
File limits
Up to 500 MB per file. One file per sheet. Name it for your records; the name shows on your order.
Gang sheet upload prices: from $14.25, as low as 1.2¢ per square inch
Seven fixed sizes, all 23 inches wide. Pick the one that matches your artboard. The rate per square inch falls with length, and orders of $100 or more get 5% to 25% off at checkout.

9-color RGBO printing: brighter than standard CMYK DTF
Most DTF shops print with four colors plus white. Our printers add red, green, blue and orange inks, so saturated reds, oranges and greens print the way they look on your screen instead of going muddy.

How to press a DTF gang sheet
Cut out each design, then press it like any of our DTF transfers. Heavy pressure, 8 to 10 seconds, peel right away or after it cools.
- Set your press280°F for 100% cotton, 260°F for blends, 240°F for 100% polyester, heavy pressure. Lint-roll the garment, and pre-press for 5 seconds if it is wrinkled or damp.
- Position and pressLay the garment flat, transfer print side down. Press with heavy, even pressure for 8 to 10 seconds (3 to 10 seconds on 100% poly). Heat tape helps on hats and odd shapes.
- PeelInstant or cold, your call. Peel right away or let it cool until you are ready, then peel slowly from one corner. If it does not release easily, let it cool completely and try again.
- Second pressCover the design with parchment paper and press again for 8 to 10 seconds (3 to 10 on poly). This locks in durability, softens the feel and removes shine. Want gloss? Use a Teflon sheet instead.
Did not transfer? More pressure and 5 more seconds, then raise the temperature 10°F at a time. Full tips, troubleshooting and wash care are on our how to press page. New material? Do a test press first.
