Artwork & File Requirements

A practical checklist for checking DTF print files and gang sheet details.

Good artwork preparation starts with the requirements for the transfer product you are ordering. Use this checklist to help organize your files, then follow the exact specifications given by that product's ordering or upload process.

1. Choose the Right Transfer Product

Start with the options described on DTF Transfers. Identify the product or gang sheet method you plan to use before finalizing your artwork.

2. Confirm Your Print Dimensions

Match the intended artwork size to the available product dimensions. Review the orientation, placement, and layout for your project rather than relying on how large the design appears on screen.

3. Check File and Image Quality

Confirm the product's accepted formats, resolution, transparency or background handling, color requirements, and file-size limits. These specifications can vary, so do not assume one set of settings applies to every upload method.

4. Prepare Gang Sheets Carefully

If you are arranging multiple designs on one sheet, confirm the allowed sheet dimensions and layout requirements for the relevant gang sheet product. Check that each design has the intended size and spacing before submitting the final file.

5. Review the Final Artwork

Confirm the correct version of every design.
Check spelling and fine details at the intended print size.
Review background and transparency choices against the product requirements.
Make sure you have permission to use the artwork you submit.
