Full color graphics are printed on a transfer film, then using a heat press the print is transferred onto a final product. The process is superior to DTG printing as it can be done on polyester blends as well as cotton, and the prints aren’t as thick as Plastisol prints giving a softer feel. DTF can even be used on products that used to be limited to cut and weeded graphics like hats, tote bags, virtually any fabric product. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite ink is available on our transfers, allowing for contoured graphics. The graphics are backed with a flood white so they work on light and dark garments. The transfers are stable and can be stored for later use allowing you to print now and apply on demand!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"spec\"\u003eSpec\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold Peel Transfer Film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/0 (CMYK + White ink)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite melt adhesive \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"file-instructions\"\u003eFile Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe only accept PNG files for this product. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtwork should be submitted with transparent backgrounds.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePNG Only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFile must be transparent background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequire ⅛” safety margin along all edges to avoid print cut off in trimming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGang up designs on your artboard to utilize the square footage price (e.g. repeat the same design on the artboard to maximize cost)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/0 color printing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax size 22” x 120”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransfers will be trimmed to ordered size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum detail size\u003c\/strong\u003e – Uploaded artwork should not contain elements smaller than \u003cstrong\u003e0.02 inch(0.5 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
