DTF Transfers for Santa Clara and Bay Area Decorators

Gang Sheets and Single Transfers for Bay Area Print Shops

ArmyTransfers supplies three core products designed for production environments.

DTF Gang Sheets

Combine multiple designs onto a single sheet. Available from 22"x24" up to 22"x300". Gang sheets reduce cost per print and maximize film usage. Built for shops producing apparel in volume.

Single DTF Transfers

Individual transfers printed to your specified size. Accurate sizing, clean detail reproduction, and reliable peel behavior. Used for small-batch runs, custom orders, and design testing.

Sample Packs

Real production transfers, not demos. Evaluate ink coverage, press behavior, peel characteristics, and adhesion performance before committing to production volume.

All products are calibrated for consistent results and test printed before production begins.

Why Production Decorators in Santa Clara Choose ArmyTransfers

• Documented QC process. Every order goes through artwork review, test printing on new files, and visual inspection before shipping or pickup. Transfers that do not meet production standards are not released.
• Gang sheet range built for volume. Sheets from 22"x24" to 22"x300" give you the layout flexibility to optimize cost per print across any run size.

DTF Pressing Instructions

Equipment: Heat press recommended.

1. Pre-press garment: 5–10 seconds to remove moisture and flatten fibers.
2. Set press: 300–320°F (149–160°C). Medium to firm pressure.
3. Press transfer: 10–15 seconds.
4. Peel: Follow the film’s behavior.
   — Hot peel: Peel immediately while hot.
   — Cold peel: Let it cool fully, then peel.
5. Finish press (recommended): Cover with parchment or a finishing sheet.
   Press 5–10 seconds. Improves durability and reduces edge lift.

Notes for clean results

• Use a smooth platen and even pressure across the image.
• Avoid steam. Moisture kills adhesion.
• Textured garments may need slightly more pressure or a longer finish press.

If you see issues

• Edges lifting: More pressure, add finish press, or increase time slightly.
• Poor adhesion: Increase pressure, confirm temp accuracy, and pre-press longer.
• Scorching/dye migration: Lower temp, shorten time, use a protective cover sheet.

Built for real press conditions. Process-first. No shortcuts.

Order Delivery

• Production starts after artwork approval. Files must be production-ready to enter the queue.
• New or unverified artwork may require a test print. This can extend turnaround time.
• Turnaround time is production-dependent. Volume, artwork, and approval status all affect timing.
• Orders placed before the daily cutoff are queued for the next available production window.
• Orders placed after the cutoff roll into the following production day.
• Shipping time begins after production is complete. Transit time is carrier-dependent.
• Local pickup is available. Pickup details are confirmed after order approval and final inspection.

Production-ready files move faster. Test printing ensures consistent results.
