Single Image vs Gang Sheet

Only one single, unique image may be included in artwork submitted for a single image sheet. A transfer sheet meant for one press application is what we refer to as a single image. Every design is sized according to the uploaded artwork to facilitate placement.

Single image sheets are great for:

  • One placement print, like a full front or back
  • E-commerce fulfillment
Up to the number of photos that can fit on the chosen sheet, artwork submitted for a gang sheet is permitted. Slice your drawings apart using scissors or a paper cutter. It is advised to leave between each design 0.25″ to 0.5″ of spacing.

Single image sheets are great for:

  • One placement print, like a full front or back
  • E-commerce fulfillment

Artwork Guidelines

Printing Small Details With DTF

Make sure the smallest sections of your picture print are at least as thick as the minimum print tolerance if you want fine details to be visible.
  • Areas smaller than 1 point or 0.014″ may not print.
  • Non-printing areas smaller than 2 points or 0.028″ may fill in.

Save Your Artwork At The Exact Size You Want It To Print

For instance, if you upload an 8″ x 8″ image but choose a 9″ x 12.75″ sheet, we will print your image at that size.

Don't Mirror Your Image

Send in your art exactly the way you want it to appear on your clothing. Our artisans will make you a mirror image.
