Direct to Film Heat Transfers for Low Quantities
- No Minimums
If you are looking to get killer graphics with high color counts, gradients and shading or photo realistic artwork- direct to film (DFT) transfers are the way to go. Not only will you be saving money on high setup costs, but there are no minimums! These digitally printed direct to film transfers have a matte finish with sharp edges, fine detail and a soft hand. They can be applied to heat sensitive fabrics like polyester, tri-blends and Lycra/Spandex. And with no minimum order, you can order in any quantity from a single image or gang sheet all the way up to 22″ x 22″. These transfers do require print ready art, so any art fixes and proofing are rolled into an additional $50.00 service.
Artwork guidelines
You can submit your vector or raster artwork and we can print it as is or with adjustments.
Artwork will print as it is provided. We will not edit artwork in any way unless it is requested or if the design requires artist attention. When artist help is requested or required, a digital art proof will be provided for $50.00. Production turnaround will begin upon proof approval.
For raster images, a minimum resolution of 150 dpi is required at the size you would like printed. For best results, we recommend a dpi of 300 or better.
Send us the best artwork that you have.
1. Size: Maximum size is 11″ x 14″ for back prints.
2. Text: Convert all text to curves/outlines before emailing.
3. Colors: Full color, digitally printed in CMYK. Specify if white areas in your image print white or are show-thru (garment color). CMYK does not reproduce fluorescent or metallic colors.
