Artwork Guidelines for DTF Transfers

These guidelines help customers submit stronger Direct-to-Film artwork for cleaner print results. The page is intentionally DTF-only and focused on practical service guidance.

2. Use strong resolution and upload at the intended size

For the best print result, artwork should be high resolution and prepared at the actual print size when possible. That reduces scaling issues and helps preserve edge quality.

Resolution

300 DPI is the recommended direction for raster artwork such as PNG files.

Exact size matters

Artwork prepared at the final output size is more reliable than drastically enlarging a smaller file later.

3. Keep backgrounds intentional

If a background is part of the design, it should remain. If it is not intended to print, it should be removed before submission. A transparent background is usually best for standalone artwork and logos.

Transparent background

Use transparent PNG or similarly prepared artwork when the design should print without a visible background box.

Intentional backgrounds

If white or colored backgrounds are part of the design, leave them in place so the printed result matches expectations.

4. Plan for color and line clarity

Screen color and print color are not always identical, so artwork should be prepared with realistic print expectations. Thin lines and very small details may also need attention to hold up better in production.

Color direction

CMYK-prepared artwork is usually closer to print expectations than RGB-only color thinking.

Thin lines

Avoid extremely fine details, tiny outlines, or fragile line work that may not reproduce as strongly at smaller sizes.

5. Convert fonts and set up files cleanly

When artwork is built in design software, fonts should be outlined or converted to shapes before submission. This avoids font replacement problems and helps preserve the intended look.

Fonts

Convert text to outlines or curves before exporting the final file whenever possible.

Accepted file direction

Print-ready PNG, PDF, SVG, AI, PSD, and similar formats can be useful depending on the project and file condition.

Need help with artwork?

Customers who are not sure whether the file is ready can still move forward. The Designer Studio includes a designer-help option and a structured project form so BSiPromos can review the order with better context.

Recommended next step

If the artwork needs cleanup, resizing, or general review, start in the Designer Studio. That gives BSiPromos the project notes, dimensions, quantity, and customer details in one clear path.
