FAQ's

What is a DTF?

A DTF gang sheet is one big sheet loaded with all your designs. Instead of printing one transfer at a time, you pack the sheet with as many logos, graphics, or tags as you want. It saves time, money, and makes production way easier.

DTF vs screen printing — What’s the difference?

DTF printing doesn’t require screens, setup fees, or large minimums. It’s ideal for full-color designs, small runs, and fast turnaround. Screen printing is better for very large orders of the same design but is less flexible and more expensive to set up.

Is DTF better than screen printing for small orders?

Yes. DTF is ideal for short runs, one-offs, and testing new designs, while screen printing is best suited for large-volume orders of the same artwork.

DTF vs sublimation — Which Is better?

DTF works on almost any fabric and color, including cotton, blends, and dark garments. Sublimation only works on light-colored polyester. If you need one solution that works across multiple products, DTF is the more versatile choice.

Yes! That’s exactly what gang sheets are for. Mix logos, pocket prints, back prints, sleeve prints—fit it all into one sheet to get the most value.

Are DTF transfers durable?

DTF transfers are built to last. When you press them correctly, they bond tightly to the fabric and hold up incredibly well—no cracking, peeling, or fading. Even with heavy use and frequent washing, your prints stay vibrant and flexible.

This makes DTF a go-to choice for sportswear, team uniforms, workwear, spirit gear, and anything that needs to look good day after day.

To keep them looking their best, wash garments inside out with normal or cooler temperatures and avoid ironing directly on the print. Treat them right, and they’ll look fresh for years.

DTF transfers also stretch with the fabric, which means they won’t split on items like leggings, hoodies, or activewear. Durable, flexible, and made to move—exactly how prints should be.

What mistakes should I avoid when making a gang sheet?
  • Don’t use low-res images
  • Don’t overcrowd your designs
  • Leave a little space between graphics for easier cutting
  • Make sure everything is sized correctly before uploading
