FAQ

1. What is a DTF transfer?

A DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfer is a high-quality heat transfer that allows you to apply full-color designs directly onto garments and fabrics. Your artwork is printed onto a specialized film, coated with adhesive powder, and then pressed onto clothing using heat. DTF transfers are known for their vivid colors, fine detail, and long-lasting durability.

2. What is the minimum I can order?

At Tuxedo Print, there are no minimums. Whether you need a single transfer for a one-off project or hundreds for bulk production, we print exactly what you need. This makes it easy for both small businesses and large apparel brands to order confidently.

3. What kind of press do I need?

We recommend using a professional heat press for the best and most consistent results. However, transfers can also be applied using a Cricut EasyPress or even a household iron. For business use and bulk orders, a heat press will ensure durability, proper adhesion, and professional results every time.

4. What sizes are available?

If you are not sure how it will look, you can order small amount before placing a bulk order, don't worry we will print fast.

5. How do transfers hold up in the wash?

Our DTF transfers are designed for long-lasting performance. When applied correctly, they hold up through repeated washing without cracking, fading, or peeling. For best care:

  • Wash garments inside out in cold water

  • Use mild detergent

  • Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals

  • Tumble dry low or hang dry

With proper care, your transfers will remain vibrant and durable for the life of the garment.

6. How quickly can I get my order?

Most orders are printed and shipped within 24–48 hours. Delivery times depend on your location and shipping method. We ship with UPS Ground.

7. What file format should my artwork be?

We accept file types, including PNG, PDF, AI, PSD, and SVG. For best results:

  • Vector files (AI, PDF, SVG) provide the cleanest lines and sharpest quality.
