DTF Transfer Guides & Printing Tips

How to Prepare Artwork for DTF Transfers

by OTB Transfers 03 Nov 2026

For raster artwork, aim for 300 DPI at final print size. Use a transparent PNG or print-ready vector file. Check for unwanted backgrounds, stray pixels, halos, spelling errors, and details too small to reproduce. Set artwork to its intended finished dimensions and preserve its proportions.

Use a high-resolution file

Low-resolution graphics can look jagged or blurry when enlarged. Start with the clearest, largest version of your design and check it at the actual size you plan to print.

Check artwork at its intended print size and confirm that unwanted backgrounds have been removed.

Choose a suitable format and background

Use a transparent PNG for raster artwork or a print-ready vector file. Confirm the background is transparent if you do not want a printed rectangle behind the design.

Check edges and sizing

Look for stray pixels, halos, unwanted backgrounds, and details too small to reproduce. Set artwork to its intended finished dimensions and preserve its proportions.

Review before upload
