Dropdtf guide

How do I put designs on a gang sheet?

Use your supplier's gang sheet builder or your own layout software. Dropdtf makes the single designs, one PNG each; it does not build the sheet.

Step by step

  1. A koi fish among waves, in orange and teal
    01Make each design as its own PNG.

    One file per design keeps sizing and reorders simple.

  2. A skull wrapped in red roses, on a dark shirt color
    02Size each one for its print.

    Set the width in inches in the builder. A 2048 pixel file holds 300 DPI up to about 6.8 inches.

  3. A round eagle badge with spread wings
    03Place them close together.

    With a truly clear background nothing prints between designs, so the gaps can be small.

  4. 04Leave the margin your supplier asks for.

    Builders show the cut margin. Keep designs inside it.

Why clean edges matter more on a sheet

A halo on one design is a halo on every copy of the sheet.

Make the single designs for your next sheet.

Previews are free.

Dropdtf draws the art and does that cleaning before you download.Read the guide A koi fish among waves, in orange and teal, on a dark shirt colorThe fileWhat makes a PNG DTF ready?Three things: the background is truly transparent, the edge is hard, and nothing faint is left around the art. A DTF printer puts white ink under every pixel that is not fully clear, so anything faint prints.Read the guide
