FAQ
SV Printing and Transfers – DTF Printing Experts in Whitwell, Tennessee
We’ve gathered the most common questions from our customers to help make your printing experience as smooth and easy as possible. Whether you’re new to DTF or a seasoned pro, these answers will guide you through every step of your order.
1. What is DTF Printing and how does it work?
DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a modern printing process that allows full-color designs to be printed directly onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder, and heat-pressed onto garments.
It works on cotton, polyester, blends, canvas, nylon, and more — making it one of the most versatile and durable print methods today. Unlike vinyl or screen printing, DTF transfers produce vibrant colors, smooth textures, and excellent wash resistance, perfect for both light and dark fabrics.
2. What products and services does SV Printing and Transfers offer?
We specialize in high-quality DTF transfers for apparel and accessories.
Our services include:
-
Custom DTF Transfers – Upload your artwork and we’ll print it in full color.
-

-

We also offer local pickup in Whitwell, TN, and nationwide shipping across the USA.
3. What file format should I upload for the best print results?
For the best results, we recommend PNG files with a transparent background.
We also accept PDF, JPG, and TIFF files, but transparency and high resolution (300 DPI or higher) ensure your print comes out sharp and color-accurate.
If you’re unsure about your design setup, email it to sequatchieprinting@gmail.com — our team will check it for free before printing.
4. What sizes of DTF gang sheets do you offer?
We print multiple gang sheet sizes to fit every project — from small 12-inch designs to large 22-inch wide rolls up to several feet long.
You can fit multiple logos, designs, or artwork pieces on one sheet and save money by ordering in bulk. Visit our DTF Gang Sheet Page to select the size that fits your needs.
5. How do I apply DTF transfers correctly?
Applying your DTF transfer is simple:
-
Pre-press your garment for 5 seconds to remove moisture.
-
Press at 310°F for 10–15 seconds using medium pressure.
-
Allow the film to cool slightly, then peel it slowly and evenly.
-
Finish with a 5–10 second repress for durability.
This ensures your design is smooth, long-lasting, and resistant to cracking or fading.
6. How long does it take to receive my order?
Most orders are printed, cured, and shipped within 1–3 business days.
