Understanding UV Direct to Film (DTF) Transfers and Gang Sheets

Gang sheets and UV DTF transfers offer an efficient and cost-effective solution for those looking to print multiple designs on hard surfaces. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand and make the most of these services.

What are Gang Sheets?

Gang sheets allow you to combine multiple images into one print sheet, saving money by efficiently arranging your designs. The specifics of using gang sheets include:

  • Dimensions: All gang sheets are 16 inches wide for UV DTF, with customizable lengths to suit your needs.
  • Image Quality: It's crucial to submit high-quality graphics with a minimum of 300dpi. Accepted formats are PNG and TIFF, with PNG being preferred for its quality retention.
  • Turnaround Time: Shipped within 72 business hours (excluding weekends) pre-ganged files. Orders placed will begin processing the following business day.

Important Considerations

  • Responsibility: The quality of the graphics is pivotal. Low-quality images, such as screenshots, will not print well, and the service provider is not responsible for print quality on such files.
  • Licensing: Ensure you have permission or proper licensing for all graphics used. This is your responsibility, and the provider will not handle this for you.

What is a UV DTF Transfer?

UV DTF transfers are designed for hard surfaces rather than clothing. They work like stickers and are suitable for:

  • Applications: Use them on coolers, drinkware, boats, wood, acrylic, glass, and more.
  • Durability: These transfers are highly durable, resistant to fading from sunlight, and scratch-proof. While they can withstand dishwasher and car wash conditions, hand washing is recommended for maximum longevity.

Turnaround Time and Limitations

  • Turnaround Time: Shipped within 72 business hours (excluding weekends) pre-ganged files. Orders placed will begin processing the following business day.
  • Design Considerations: Due to variations in cup sizes, seamless designs may not perfectly align. Unlike sublimation, overlapping designs are not feasible, so test fit your design before application.
  • No Refund Policy: Be aware that there are no refunds, exchanges, or warranties for UV DTF transfers.

Additional Information

  • Color Matching: The provider does not offer color matching services. Color discrepancies may occur due to differences in screens and printing processes.
  • Inspection: Inspect all products before application, as the provider is not liable for defects post-application.

By understanding these parameters and ensuring you adhere to quality and licensing requirements, you can effectively utilize gang sheets and UV DTF transfers for your projects. This approach ensures a high-quality outcome while maximizing cost efficiency.
