Ever wondered how your custom DTF transfers come to life? At DTF Ghost, we take pride in transforming your digital designs into high-quality, press-ready prints, ready to be applied to t-shirts, hoodies, and more.
In this post, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process that turns your gang sheet into a finished product, from design prep to packaging.
Step 1: Preparing Your Design
It all starts with your uploaded file. Once we receive your gang sheet, our team reviews it to ensure:
-
Your design is sharp and aligned
-
The layout fits the print space
-
All elements are print-ready
We handle the technical setup, so you don’t have to worry about trimming, sizing, or alignment—we make sure your final print is flawless from the start.
Step 2: High-Quality DTF Printing
Next, your design is sent to our professional DTF printers, where we use premium DTF inks to deliver rich, vibrant color and crisp detail. This is what gives your design the sharp look and bold finish DTF is known for.
Step 3: Adhesive Powder Application
After printing, we apply a layer of hot melt adhesive powder to the back of the transfer. This powder is the secret to perfect adhesion when pressing the transfer onto your fabric.
It’s applied evenly and thoroughly—no shortcuts—ensuring the print bonds properly once heat is applied.
Step 4: Curing for Durability
Once the adhesive powder is in place, we cure the transfer using heat. This step bonds the ink and adhesive together, resulting in a durable and flexible transfer that holds up through wear, wash, and time.
Step 5: Quality Check
Before your order leaves our hands, every single sheet is inspected for:
-
Cracks or breaks in the design
-
Smudges or ink inconsistencies
-
Adhesive coverage and finish
Only prints that meet our standards are packed for shipping.
Step 6: Careful Packaging & Fast Shipping
Finally, we carefully pack your DTF transfers to protect them during shipping. Most orders are shipped out the same day, so you can get to creating as quickly as possible.
From production to packaging, every step is handled with precision and care.
