    We check and print, you press

    We check your artwork by hand, print the sheet and send it ready to cut and press.

DTF transfers reproduce full-colour artwork with fine detail and strong stretch and wash performance — no minimum colours and no weeding. They press onto cotton, polyester and blends, which makes them the practical choice for a mixed garment range or for stock you already hold.

Use the gang sheet builder to lay out your designs on a 56cm printable width, pack them efficiently and pay by the metre; cut sheets are a flat price. Transfers ship ready to press — DTF orders are transfers only, with no garment pressing service. Want finished printed clothing instead? Order it from our custom T-shirt printing page and we print the garments for you.

Estimated turnaround: 3–5 working days after artwork approval.

Artwork-ready order before 12pm, Mon–Fri? It goes out the same day.

Sheet sizes & prices

Sheet sizes and prices

Cut sheets are a flat price. Rolls and custom lengths use the full 56cm printable width of our 60cm film and are priced by the metre, from £14.99 down to £7.99 per metre on longer sheets — you can fit as many designs on the sheet as the space allows. You pay for the full sheet length you choose, even blank space — and longer sheets get a lower per-metre rate.

Prefer not to lay it out yourself? Build it for me — upload your files and our studio lays out the sheet.

Choosing a length, packing designs in tightly and ordering the same sheet again are covered on DTF gang sheets.

What you get

Transfers only — you press them

  • Full-colour transfers on film, ready to cut out and heat-press onto your own garments — cotton, polyester and blends.
  • No weeding and no minimum colours: fine detail and gradients print as one piece.
  • Every file is checked by hand before it prints. There is no separate proof to approve — we contact you only if something needs a second look.

We do not press transfers onto garments you send us. If you want finished printed clothing, order custom printed T-shirts or any garment from our range and we print it for you.

Pressing your transfers

Our film presses hot peel — peeling it cold is the single most common cause of a failed transfer.

Artwork

Getting your files right

  • PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, AI, EPS or PSD, up to 50MB per file. A PNG with a transparent background works best — anything opaque prints as a solid shape.
  • Vector artwork, or an image at 150dpi or more at the size you will press it.
  • The builder keeps at least 1cm between designs and flags anything that runs past the printable width before you pay.

Guides: preparing artwork, pressing DTF transfers and DTF vs vinyl.

Rather we laid it out?

Choose Build it for me in the builder: upload your files, pick a sheet size and our studio arranges the sheet for you.

Unusual sizes, repeat sheets or a long run? Send us the details and we will price it. Request a quote.

How to press DTF transfers

Frequently asked questions

How much do DTF transfers cost?

Cut sheets are a flat price: A4 £4.99 and A3 £6.49. Gang sheets are priced by the metre on a 56cm printable width (1 metre £14.99, 2 metres £25.98), for any length from 10cm to 100m — and the rate steps down with length: £14.99 per metre under 2m, stepping down to £12.99 (2m+), £11.49 (5m+), £9.99 (10m+), £8.99 (25m+) and £7.99 (50m+). You pay for the full sheet length you choose, even blank space — and longer sheets get a lower per-metre rate.

What sizes can I order?

A4 (21 × 29.7cm), A3 (29.7 × 42cm), 1 metre and 2 metre rolls, or any custom length from 10cm to 100m. Rolls and custom sheets use the full 56cm printable width of our 60cm film, with at least 1cm between designs.

How do I press the transfers?

Press at 160°C for 15 sec with medium-firm pressure, then hot peel. Peeling it cold is the most common cause of a failed transfer. The full pressing guide covers timing, pressure and what to do if a transfer lifts.

How much is delivery, and how long does it take?

UK delivery is £4.95 per order. UK delivery is free on orders of £100 or more. The order value is your basket subtotal after discounts, before delivery; clothing and DTF transfer baskets check out as separate orders. Collection from our Finsbury Park studio (London N7) is free. Estimated turnaround: 3–5 working days after artwork approval. There is no separate proof to approve — we check your artwork by hand and contact you if anything needs a second look.

How quickly can I get DTF transfers?

Typical timing is 3–5 working days after artwork approval, and there is no proof round to wait for — the artwork check is the only step between payment and print. Working to a date? Tell us before you order and we will say honestly whether it is realistic. Collection from our Finsbury Park studio (N7) is free if you would rather not wait for the post.

Can I collect DTF transfers from your London studio?

Yes. Choose collection at checkout and pick your sheets up free from Unit G05, Regents Studio, 1 Thane Villas, London N7 7PH — Finsbury Park, North London — Mon–Fri 10:00–17:00. Everyone else gets the same sheets by post, UK-wide.

Do you press the transfers onto garments?

No. DTF orders are transfers only, supplied ready for you to press. We do not print onto garments you send us — if you want finished printed clothing, order it from our garment range and we print it in-house.

What is the printable width?

All DTF layouts, pricing and export use a 56cm printable width on a 60cm roll.

Do my designs need a transparent background?

Transparent PNGs work best — an opaque background prints as a solid block. We check every file by hand before printing and contact you if something would print badly, rather than rejecting it automatically at checkout.

Which fabrics do DTF transfers work on?

Cotton, polyester and cotton-poly blends, light or dark. Press at the settings above and peel hot; the pressing guide covers what to do if a transfer lifts.
