DTF works on cotton, polyester and blends, in light and dark colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's ideal for small brands, market sellers, schools, sports clubs, dance studios and anyone who'd rather press on demand than hold stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen the builder on this page and upload your designs as PNG files with transparent backgrounds, at 300 DPI if you can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the print width for each design and how many of each you need.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe builder arranges everything on a 31cm wide sheet, with spacing so they're easy to cut apart, and calculates the length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck your sheet, add it to your cart and check out.
