Custom DTF Transfers by Size | Ready to Press

The Leader in Custom DTF Transfers in DFW

We print every transfer in-house on commercial-grade DTF systems with calibrated color profiles and rigorous QC. Here's what that means for your order.

100% Quality Guarantee

Every gang sheet is press-tested and color-checked before it ships. If a transfer fails to apply correctly with proper heat, time, and pressure, we reprint it, no questions, no fees.

Truly No Minimums

Order one 4″ logo or a thousand. Pricing scales smoothly with size and quantity, no surprise minimum-order fees, no "starting at" bait pricing. The price you see is the price you pay.

Super-Fast Shipping

Orders placed before 2 PM CST ship the same business day. Local DFW customers can pick up in person from our 24/7 lockers, perfect for last-minute jobs, weekend events, and rush orders.

50+ Wash Durability

Our DTF transfers hold up to 50+ wash cycles without cracking, fading, or peeling when applied per spec.

From File to Finished Garment in 4 Steps

DTF (direct-to-film) transfers are the fastest, most flexible way to put full-color art on apparel. No screens. No weeding. No color limits.

Upload

Send us your art: PNG, SVG, AI, PSD, or PDF at 300 DPI. Our prepress team checks color, transparency, and sizing free of charge before printing.

Print

We print your design onto release film with CMYK + white ink, then bond it with thermo-adhesive TPU powder and cure in our commercial oven.

Press

Apply at 310°F with medium-firm pressure for 13 seconds. Peel hot or cold. Re-press for 10 seconds with a parchment cover for max wash durability.

Wear

Vivid color, soft hand, and fabric-stretch elasticity. Wait 24 hours before the first wash, turn inside out, cold water, mild detergent, then wear it for years.

Everything You Need to Know About DTF

What exactly is a DTF transfer, and how is it different from screen printing or HTV?

DTF stands for Direct-to-Film. We print your design with CMYK plus white ink onto a PET release film, bond it with TPU hot-melt adhesive powder, and cure it in an oven so it's ready to heat-press onto fabric. Unlike screen printing, there are no screens, no setup fees, and no color limits, you can have full photographic gradients in a one-piece order. Unlike heat transfer vinyl (HTV), there's no weeding and no color-count limit.

How durable are MAD Monkey DTF transfers? Will they survive industrial laundering?

Our transfers are rated for 50+ wash cycles in standard home laundering without cracking, fading, or peel-up, provided they're applied to spec (310°F, 13 seconds, medium-firm pressure, with a 10-second re-press). For commercial/industrial laundering (high-heat dryers, harsh detergents), durability is still strong but contact us for application guidance.

What temperature, time, and pressure should I use to apply a DTF transfer?

Press at 310°F (155°C) for 13 seconds with medium-firm pressure (roughly 40-60 psi on a clamshell press). Peel the film hot (3-5 seconds after pressing) or fully cold, both work and give slightly different finish profiles. After peeling, cover the print with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet and re-press for 10 seconds to lock in the bond and reduce shine. If you're pressing onto a thick or textured fabric, increase pressure slightly.

What file formats and resolution do you need? Do you charge for art prep?

We accept PNG, SVG, AI, PSD, PDF, and JPG. PNG with a transparent background is our preferred format. Minimum resolution is 300 DPI at final print size; vector files (SVG, AI, PDF) scale infinitely and are always best for logos and type. For photographic art, send the highest-resolution source you have. We do not charge art fees, setup fees, or file-check fees. Our prepress team reviews every order free of charge.

How fast can I get my transfers? Do you really ship same-day?

Yes, orders placed before 2 PM CST on a business day ship the same day via UPS, FedEx, or USPS. Orders placed after the 2 PM cutoff ship the next business day. Standard ground shipping covers most of Texas in 1-2 days and the rest of the continental US in 3-5 days. Need it faster? We offer overnight, 2-day, and weekend shipping at carrier rates. DFW-local customers get an even better option: 24/7 locker pickup.

Can you match a specific Pantone or hex color?

Yes, with caveats. Our DTF process is CMYK + white ink, which means we can hit a very close match for most Pantone references and any RGB or hex code you provide. For brand-critical color work (a Coca-Cola red, a Tiffany blue), we recommend ordering a paid color test print first, for $5 we'll send a small swatch of your exact target color so you can confirm the match before committing to a full run.

What fabrics work with DTF? Are there any I should avoid?

DTF works on a wider range of fabrics than almost any other decoration method, cotton, polyester, poly-cotton blends, tri-blends, denim, canvas, fleece, performance/dri-fit fabrics, leather, satin, and even some nylons. The main fabrics to avoid are silicone-coated waterproof shells (the adhesive can't bond), extremely heat-sensitive synthetics that scorch below 310°F, and very loose-knit or open-weave fabrics.

What's the minimum order? Is there a setup fee for small runs?

There is no minimum order and no setup fee, ever. Order one 4″ logo or a thousand 11″ back prints, the per-piece price is what you see on the table above. Volume breaks at 10, 50, 100, 250, and 500 pieces apply automatically at checkout. For really high-volume orders (1,000+ pieces of the same design), reach out for custom contract pricing, we can typically beat the listed 500+ rate by 10-20%.

Choosing the right DTF transfer size

Order each transfer at the size it will be on the garment. As a starting point, a left chest or pocket logo is usually 3 to 4 inches wide, an adult front print 10 to 11 inches, a full back 12 to 14 inches, and a sleeve or hat panel 2 to 3 inches. Lay the garment flat, measure the print area, and leave some room from seams, collars and zippers.

Transfers by size are quoted, so you see the full price before anything is printed. Send your sizes, quantities, garment and need-by date with the DTF quote form and we reply by email with a price and a ship date.

Lots of different small designs? A gang sheet is often the cheaper way to buy them, because you pay for the sheet length, not per design. The pricing page compares both options, and the application guide covers press settings by fabric.
