Secret for Perfect DTF Transfers: Artwork Settings That Matter
Even the best DTF transfers can only look as good as the artwork behind them. Sharp edges, clean colors, no pixelation — it all starts before printing.
In this quick guide, we’ll show you the exact artwork settings you need to get flawless results on every press.

DTF Transfers: Artwork Settings That Matter
1️⃣ Vector Files Preferred
AI, PDF, SVG formats keep your artwork scalable and crisp — no matter the size.
- No pixel edges
- Cleaner, smoother lines
- Perfect for text + logos
2️⃣ CMYK Color Mode
Your screen shows colors in RGB, but DTF transfers print in CMYK.
Switch to CMYK early to avoid unexpected dullness or shifts in final prints 🎯
3️⃣ High Resolution: 300 DPI
Low resolution = blurry print. High resolution = sharp detail and professional look.
Keep your images at 300 DPI for clean results.
4️⃣ Transparent Background
For PNG or raster artwork — always remove the background.
No white boxes around graphics. No cleanup needed later.
