FAQ
What is a DTF transfer and how does it work?
DTF stands for Direct to Film, a revolutionary digital printing technology that allows you to transfer vibrant, high-quality designs onto virtually any fabric. The process involves printing your design directly onto a special film using water-based inks, then applying a hot-melt powder adhesive. When heat pressed onto your garment at the correct temperature and time, the design bonds permanently to the fabric, creating a soft, durable, and professional-looking print. At Tidal Colors, we use state-of-the-art DTF printing equipment to ensure every transfer delivers exceptional quality and longevity for your custom apparel projects.
What is a DTF gang sheet?
A DTF gang sheet is a cost-effective printing solution where multiple designs are arranged together on a single sheet of transfer film. This allows you to maximize your printing area and reduce costs by combining several different designs, sizes, or quantities on one sheet. Our gang sheets start at just $11.00 per foot, making them perfect for small businesses, Etsy sellers, or anyone looking to print multiple designs efficiently. You can mix and match different designs, create various sizes of the same design, or combine orders for different customers all on one convenient sheet.
What are the benefits of DTF transfers compared to screen printing or sublimation?
DTF transfers offer superior versatility and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional printing methods. Unlike screen printing, DTF requires no minimum quantities, setup fees, or color limitations, making it perfect for small batches and custom orders. Compared to sublimation, DTF works on any fabric color including dark garments and natural fibers like cotton. DTF transfers also provide excellent durability, vibrant colors, and a soft hand feel. With our next-day printing turnaround, DTF is faster and more flexible than screen printing while offering better fabric compatibility than sublimation printing.
Can DTF transfers be used on dark fabrics or any garment color?
Absolutely! One of DTF’s biggest advantages is its ability to work on any garment color, including dark and black fabrics. Our DTF transfers use a white ink underbase that ensures your colors pop brilliantly on dark materials. Whether you’re printing on white, black, navy, red, or any other colored garment, our transfers maintain vibrant color reproduction and excellent opacity. This makes DTF the perfect choice for businesses that need consistent quality across various garment colors without the limitations of other printing methods.
What types of garments and materials can DTF transfers be applied to?
DTF transfers work on an incredibly wide range of materials, making them perfect for diverse product lines. You can apply our transfers to cotton, polyester, cotton blends, tri-blends, canvas, denim, leather, nylon, and even some synthetic materials. Popular applications include t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, tank tops, tote bags, hats, aprons, uniforms, sportswear, and promotional items. The versatility of DTF technology means you can expand your product offerings without worrying about material compatibility, giving your business more opportunities to serve different customer needs.
Do DTF transfers crack, peel, or fade after washing?
Our premium DTF transfers are engineered for exceptional durability and longevity. When properly applied using correct heat press settings, DTF transfers create a permanent bond that resists cracking, peeling, and fading. The transfers maintain their vibrant colors and soft feel through regular washing and wearing. We use high-quality inks and adhesives specifically formulated for durability. For best results, we recommend following our application instructions and caring for printed garments by washing in cold water, avoiding bleach, and air drying when possible.
How long can you keep DTF transfers before using them?
DTF transfers have excellent shelf life when stored properly. You can keep unused transfers for 6-12 months in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and humidity. Store them flat or rolled (not folded) in their original packaging or a sealed container. This extended shelf life makes DTF transfers perfect for inventory management, allowing you to stock up on popular designs or seasonal items. The stability of our transfers means you can order in advance for busy seasons or keep a variety of designs ready for quick turnaround on customer orders.
What size should I choose for my DTF transfer or gang sheet?
Transfer sizing depends on your specific application and garment type. For adult t-shirts, popular sizes range from 8-12 inches wide for chest designs. Youth sizes typically work well at 6-8 inches wide. Our transfers are priced at $0.04 per square inch, making it easy to calculate costs for any size. Gang sheets start at $11.00 per foot and can accommodate multiple designs efficiently. Consider your garment size, design placement, and target audience when selecting dimensions. Our team can help you determine the optimal size for your specific project to ensure professional results.
How do I apply a DTF transfer? Can I use a heat press or an iron?
DTF transfers can be applied using both heat presses and household irons, though heat presses provide more consistent results. For best results, preheat your garment, position the transfer design-side down, and apply medium-high heat (300-320°F) with medium pressure for 10-15 seconds. After pressing, allow to cool for 10-15 seconds, then remove the film in one smooth motion. A heat press ensures even temperature and pressure distribution, but a household iron can work for smaller quantities. We provide detailed application instructions with every order to ensure perfect results every time.
What is your turnaround time for DTF transfer orders?
At Tidal Colors, we pride ourselves on fast turnaround times. All orders are printed the next business day after approval and then shipped according to your selected shipping method. This means you can have your transfers in hand within 2-3 business days for standard shipping, or even faster with expedited options. Our efficient production process and commitment to quick turnaround makes us ideal for businesses that need reliable, fast service for their custom printing needs.
Do you offer same-day printing or expedited shipping?
Yes! We offer same-day shipping for orders that meet our cutoff times. Monday through Friday orders placed by 4:00 PM Eastern Time qualify for same-day shipping, and Saturday orders placed by 12:00 PM Eastern Time also ship the same day. Please note we don’t ship on Sundays, but Sunday orders are processed and shipped Monday. Combined with our next-day printing, this means you can get your transfers incredibly quickly when you need them for urgent projects or last-minute orders.
What is the minimum quantity I can order?
There are no minimum quantities at Tidal Colors! Whether you need just one transfer for a sample or thousands for a large production run, we can accommodate your order. This no-minimum policy makes us perfect for small businesses, startups, Etsy sellers, or anyone testing new designs. You only pay for what you need at $0.04 per square inch for individual transfers or $11.00 per foot for gang sheets, making small quantity orders affordable and practical.
What’s the minimum order quantity for small batches?
We specialize in small batch production with absolutely no minimum order requirements. This makes Tidal Colors perfect for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and custom apparel startups who need flexibility without large upfront investments. Whether you’re testing a new design with just a few pieces or fulfilling small custom orders, our pricing structure at $0.04 per square inch makes small batches economical. This approach allows you to manage inventory efficiently and respond quickly to customer demands without waste.
What are the artwork requirements for submitting a design?
For best results, submit vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) or high-resolution raster images (PNG, JPG) at 300 DPI minimum. Designs should be created at actual print size when possible. We accept files up to 24 inches wide, and colors should be in CMYK or RGB format. Avoid extremely fine details or text smaller than 8-point font. Our online gang sheet builder tool (available for $0.10 per square foot) makes it easy to arrange multiple designs efficiently. If you have questions about your specific file, our team at [email protected] can review it and provide guidance.
What is your return or refund policy for DTF orders?
Customer satisfaction is our top priority at Tidal Colors. We offer a comprehensive 30-day refund and reprint policy. If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, contact us first and we’ll work to make things right. We’ll reprint any order with print quality or adherence issues at no charge.
