DTF is a digital print. That means that it requires high definition and attention to detail for better outcomes. To achieve the result you’re looking for (or even to exceed your expectations), you must pay attention to resolution, color settings, and even size and format of your file.
If you want to take full advantage of your DTF transfers, these are our recommendations:
- Vector Format: Using vectors will always be best when searching for high definition.
- Design in HD: In case your design consists of images or photos in bitmap format (JPG, BMP or PNG), it’s crucial that you set them with ‘real size’, just as you wish them to be printed, or in 300 dpi.
-
Delete the background: If your design has any white, black, or any color as background, you should erase it (make it transparent) and save your file as PNG, PSD, or TIFF.
- Use defined edges: Avoid adding shadows to your artwork. It could lead to printing mistakes!
After setting up your designs, it’s time to prepare your file.
- Sheet size: Open a new file on the graphic design tool of your preference and set up the size of your page (22 inches x the length you need).
- Accommodate and adjust: Put all your designs on the sheet and fit as many as you can. Remember with DTF, you can save money by using all the space you have.
- ‘Save as’: Export your file in PDF format if it has vectors. You can attach the original CDR, Ai, or PSD file (optional) to verify everything matches correctly. Export your file in PNG, PSD or TIFF if it’s a bitmap format.
Now you’re all set up! If you consider every single one of these steps, you will have less problems with the results of your transfers after pressing them on your favorite garments. DTF is definitely the best way to customize these days, so don’t stay behind!
