FAQs

What size transfers should I order for Womens Sizes?

Typically for womens shirts, the typical customer who might be ordering custom shirts from you does not expect the design size to change, so 9"x9" is suitable for the entire run.

Although there can be a large variance in sizing between a Womens XS and a Womens 2XL, we still find that the 9"x9" inch sizing works well.

If you decide to modify the design size based on shirt size, our recommendation would be to print your Womens XS through Womens M at 9"x9" inches.  And to print your Womens L and larger at 10"x10" inches.  So you can see that given the minimal size change, it is not worth the hassle of changing your print size based on the shirt size for Women's garments.

What size transfers should I order for Youth Sizes?

Typically for youth shirts, the typical customer who might be ordering custom shirts from you does not expect the design size to change, so 8"x8" is suitable for the entire run.

However, we are very familiar with the fairly large variance in sizing between a Youth XS... and a Youth L & Youth XL.

If you decide to modify the design size based on shirt size, our recommendation would be to actually group your Youth L and Youth XL shirts with your Adult size prints if they are mixed into the order at 11"x11" or larger.

And to print your Youth XS through Youth M at 8"x8" inches or possibly 9"x9" inches.

What size transfers should I order for Adult Shirts? 2XL? 3XL? 4XL? 5XL?

Typically for adult shirts, even with a size scale of Adult S through Adult 5XL, the typical customer who might be ordering custom shirts from you does not expect the design size to change, so 11"x11" or larger is recommended. 

If you really prefer to modify the design size based on shirt size, our recommendations are below:

Adult Small through XX Large: 11"x11" or larger

Adult 3X Large through 5X Large: 12"x14" or larger

How should I wash a garment after pressing my DTF transfers?

How to Machine Wash:

  1. Turn your pressed shirt inside-out before washing.
  2. Separate similar colors, weight, and textures. Make sure to not overfill the washer.
  3. Use mild detergent with cold water on a gentle cycle.

Warm water, harsh detergents, and aggressive wash cycles can damage both the garment and the transfer itself.

How to Dry:

We recommend hang-drying on a plastic hanger, but a drier works fine if you follow the steps below.

  1. Turn your pressed shirts inside-out before drying.
  2. Separate similar colors, weight, and textures.
  3. Use the lowest possible heat setting or Permanent Press.

4 Easy Steps to Press DTF Transfers

1. POSITION

Take your time and line up your artwork in the desired print area.

2. PRESS

Press with medium pressure press your transfer at 300°F-320°F / 160°C (this is what we find has yielded the best results) for 12-15 seconds.

3. COOL & PEEL

Remove pressure and heat and let your transfer rest for a minimum of 15 seconds. After letting your transfer rest it should be cool to the touch at which point lift the transfer from one corner and gently peel back apply even pressure.

4. FINAL PRESS

Place the parchment paper included with your order on the design and press again for 15 seconds to enhance feel, increase durability and remove shine.
