Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment is required to apply the Lover Girl transfer?

A professional heat press is required to ensure even pressure and temperature; a standard household iron is not recommended for DTF applications.

Can this transfer be applied to dark-colored polyester shirts?

Yes, DTF transfers feature a white ink base layer that ensures the 'Lover Girl' design remains vibrant and opaque on both light and dark fabrics, including 100% polyester.

Which size is best for a standard adult unisex t-shirt?

For Adult Medium to Large shirts, the 11-inch transfer is the industry standard for a full-front graphic, while the 12-inch or 14-inch options are better for XL and larger sizes.

Direct‑to‑Film (DTF) printing lets you print full‑color designs onto a special film and transfer them onto fabric with a heat press. It’s ideal for cotton, polyester and blends. Our Atlanta shop uses premium DTF inks and adhesive powder to deliver vibrant, durable prints that won’t crack or fade. Because the design is printed on film, there’s no need to pre‑treat garments. Simply choose your size and upload your artwork — we’ll handle the rest.

• Files must be CMYK color mode.
• Artwork must have a transparent background; flattened backgrounds will incur a design fee.
