How Print Area™ Pricing Works

When you upload your artwork, we analyze its shape to calculate the exact square inches with minimal error. Instead of diving into the math, here’s a visual explanation using a sample from our evaluation tool.

Here’s a screenshot of our test image uploaded to the Dmandprints site. The width is set to 10 inches, with the height automatically calculated as 8 inches based on the aspect ratio.
With other leading DTF printers this is what you would pay for. They charge based on the maximum width and height, leaving you paying for the full 80 square inches.

When you upload your art to Dmandprints, you can toggle the Print Area view on or off with a click, letting you see the exact area you're paying for, and what your NOT paying for.
Note: This is just a visual aid—your final print will not include the colored background.

Q & A

Common Questions

Here are some quick questions and answers we frequently get about DTF prints and DMandPrints. We've placed them right here on the home page for your convenience!

What is Print Area™ Pricing?

Print Area™ Pricing means that you only pay for the size and shape of your artwork. Unlike other DTF print services we don't bill your for a square or a rectangle if your artwork happens to be a different shape.
We have built a tool that demonstrates the impact Print Area™ Pricing can have on your costs.

DTF (Direct to Film) prints are a method of printing designs onto a special film, which is then transferred onto fabric. This process involves printing the design on a film, applying a powder adhesive, curing it, and then heat pressing the film onto the fabric. DTF prints are known for their durability, vibrant colors, and versatility, making them ideal for custom apparel and other textile products.

No, we only sell the prints.
You can purchase your own garment and a heat press to apply the heat transfer prints to your own garments. Our customers are typically small, medium and large screen printers that want to offer heat transfers as an alternative to their standard screen printing process.

There is no need to gang sheet your artwork.
We charge only for the actual print area. Our image processing system automatically removes any unnecessary transparent space around your image to accurately calculate the print area for our per-square-inch pricing.
Gang sheeting not only costs you time but can also cost you money. We can only trim transparent space around the edges of your artwork. If you create a gang sheet yourself, you might introduce unprinted space that increases the total square inches, leading to higher costs.
Summary
The easiest and most cost-effective way to get your prints is to simply upload your artwork. We'll handle the gang sheeting for you, saving you both time and money.

It's not a matter of being better or worse; DTF (Direct to Film) printing is simply an alternative to traditional screen printing. Both methods have their own unique advantages.
DTF heat transfers feel similar to screen-printed shirts and can often be more durable. Additionally, DTF printing allows for unlimited colors in a single print, providing flexibility for intricate and colorful designs. On the other hand, screen printing is well-loved for its ability to produce vibrant, long-lasting prints, especially in bulk.
Choosing between the two methods depends on your specific needs and preferences.
