Print-ready files · Fewer delays
Artwork Requirements
Prepare artwork at its final print size with the right resolution, transparency and file format. Standard print products do not include automatic artwork repair or redesign.
Before you upload
Build the file for the finished size.
300 DPI at final size.
Avoid screenshots and small web images enlarged beyond their original dimensions.
Transparent means transparent.
Use a high-resolution PNG with intentional opacity and no unwanted white, black or checkerboard background.
Vector when possible.
Use proportioned PDF, AI, EPS or SVG artwork; outline fonts and embed linked images before export.
Print-ready checklist.
DTFATL does not automatically remove backgrounds, recreate logos, fix typos, resize layouts or improve low-resolution files. Production timing pauses when customer action is required.
Uncertain about the file?
Contact support before ordering when the artwork needs editing, vectorization or deadline review.
Helpful ordering information
What artwork files does DTFATL require for printing?
DTFATL requires artwork that is ready to print at the intended final dimensions. DTF files should normally use a transparent background, adequate resolution, clean edges, and intentional opacity. Large-format files should be proportioned correctly and contain enough detail for the expected viewing distance.
Best for
Customers preparing DTF transfers, custom apparel, posters, banners, signs, and other print products.
Production timing
Varies by service; use the production time shown on the product page.
Ordering deadline
Same-day timing cannot be confirmed until the artwork is ready to print. Uploading a file before noon is not enough when corrections are required.
Good to know
Submitting a file does not mean it is production-ready. Low resolution, unintended backgrounds, missing fonts, incorrect dimensions, or semitransparent pixels can change the printed result.

Does DTFATL print on weekends?

Does DTFATL edit customer artwork?
Standard print products require print-ready artwork. DTFATL does not automatically redesign, recreate, resize, remove backgrounds, or repair files unless a separate design service is clearly included.
