Our prices are calculated per square foot based on the dimensions and quantity provided in your upload file. We do not consider the empty spaces between each design.

Formula: (Height) x (Width) x (Quantity) / 144 x Product Price.

For example, if you uploaded a file with dimensions of 3″ x 4″ and requested 75 copies, and the DTF transfer price is 5 CAD per square foot, our website will calculate the price as (3 x 4 x 75 / 144 x 5 = 31.25 CAD) on the backend and show you the total price on the shop page.

Tip: The clean sharp edge without any live pixels around the picture is key. 

The short answer is no. It may do the job in some circumstances, but it is strongly recommended to use the actual heat press machine which we normally use for vinyl, screen print transfer, or iron-on embroidery patches. DTF not only needs heat but also requires good pressure to bond the transfer to the fabric.
