What is DPI?

• DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. It's a measure used mainly for printing, indicating how many dots of ink or toner will be placed on one inch of paper.
• Think of it like the density of the dots: the more dots you have in a space, the finer and more detailed the print can be.

Pixel Density and Image Size

• Pixel Density refers to how many pixels (tiny squares of color) make up the image on a digital display.
• Image Size is the dimensions of an image (like 800x600 pixels).
• Higher pixel density means more pixels are packed into the same area, which usually results in a sharper, clearer image.

How They Affect Image Quality

• A higher DPI means a higher-quality print because it's more detailed.
• On screens, higher pixel density (more pixels in the same space) makes images look sharper.

Why Increasing DPI Doesn't Always Improve Quality

• If an image has low DPI or low pixel density (like a small, blurry photo), just changing the number to a higher DPI or resizing it to a larger size won't magically add detail.
• The original image has a certain amount of information (detail, clarity). When you increase the DPI or size without adding more real detail, the computer has to guess (or "interpolate") what to add, which can result in a blurry or pixelated image.

Think of it like blowing up a balloon with a small picture on it. As the balloon gets bigger, the picture stretches and becomes less clear. You can't add more detail to the picture by just stretching the balloon.

So, for the best quality, you want to start with a high DPI or high pixel density image, especially if you're going to print it or display it on a large screen.

Quality artwork is key in a graphics based industry, and this one is no different.

Doing volume and need better pricing?

We can help!

Depending on your needs we have a pricing program for you.  Retail prices are listed on the website.  You'll note that quantity effects the pricing via quantity discounts on our custom printed products, basically, the bigger an order, the bigger the discount.  Here is an example of retail quantity price breaks for custom printed transfers:

Custom Printed Transfers

Craft Packs of Sign Vinyl and Heat Transfer Vinyl follow the same schedule as shown above, however, Craft Sign Vinyl and Heat Transfer Vinyl purchased off the roll follow a slightly different schedule (shown below).

Wholesale Accounts

We’re happy to provide wholesale pricing to customers purchasing our products to finish goods for sale or for them to resell.  If you provide us with an ST-5 or other forms showing sales tax exemption we will update your account to a tax exempt account.  We also assume that if you can provide us with an ST-5 that you are a legitimate business and we want to partner with you. 

Just for putting an ST-5 on file with us you will automatically be upgraded to a Wholesale Account and receive the 20% Bulk Discount Tier Pricing no matter your order size.

Distributor Accounts

Once your account has surpassed $5,000 in total purchases we know your serious and that we work well together... We’ll upgrade your account to Distributor Pricing.  This will provide you with the 33.33% Bulk Discount Tier Pricing no matter your order size if you have an ST-5 on file with us.

Contract Pricing

If you have an St-5 on file with us and your monthly volume is consistent and we have a good working relationship, let's talk.  We often partner with volume customers to ensure long-term cooperation.  Requests for contract pricing generally are granted for accounts that exceed $5,000 per month.  We'll send you a Contract with terms customizable to your needs.  Once we are all on the same page regarding what is expected from whom, we'll update your account and your Contract Pricing (typically 50% off Retail Pricing for Transfers -> $11.99 x 50% off = $5.99), will be available when logged into your account on our website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for answers about DTF transfers, turnaround times, artwork requirements, or production workflows? You're in the right place.

How do I place an order?

The fastest way to place an order is directly through our website. You'll have access to real-time pricing, quantity discounts, account history, and order tracking.

For custom apparel, embroidery, or special requests, email us with details including artwork, sizes, quantities, and garment styles.

---

Do I need a wholesale account?

Wholesale accounts are available for customers with valid Sales Tax Exemption documentation (such as an ST-5).

Once approved, you'll receive tax-exempt status and access to discounted pricing tiers. Be sure you're logged in to see correct pricing at checkout.

---

How fast is your turnaround?

Orders placed online (DTF transfers, vinyl, and supplies) before 2PM EST are typically printed and shipped the same day.

Custom apparel, embroidery, and larger production jobs are generally completed within 5–7 business days after proof approval and payment.

---

Why are your DTF transfers faster than others?

Our Instant Peel transfers are built for production:

• ✔ Press at 260°F for 6 seconds
• ✔ Instant peel — no cooldown required
• ✔ No second press needed

This reduces total production time and increases output per hour — especially for high-volume shops.

---

Do your DTF transfers require a second press?

No. Our transfers are instant peel and require no second press, saving time and simplifying your workflow.

---

What fabrics do your transfers work on?

Our DTF transfers are designed for cotton, polyester, and blends — including high-bleed and performance fabrics.

Our lower press temperature (260°F) helps reduce dye migration and ghosting on sensitive materials.

---

Will my reorders match previous orders?

Yes. We use independent color profiling across our production lines to ensure consistent results — regardless of where your order is produced.

---

Does artwork quality matter?

Yes — significantly. DTF printing can only reproduce the detail that exists in your file.

Low-resolution artwork will not improve during printing — it will only become more noticeable.
