I’ve seen so many operators who just don’t take the time to evaluate the garment accurately. There’s nothing worse than a low left print on shirts for women’s groups.

Bingo, You got it! Just that extra couple seconds to check placement to the garment makes a world of a difference!

Can you guys do a video on where and how to do a back Hoodie & Crewneck placement ? Also how large can a back dtf design can go as I want to add a large back piece to fill the back of Hoodie’s and Crewneck Thanks Willie

@transferexpress 4 ай бұрын

That’s a great suggestion Willie! While we’re working on it, you can check out the print placement on the back of hoodies that we cover in this video right around 14 minutes: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mt2CebWFl8_ddqs.htmlsi=iBRkvBazs00qLf6q As for sizing, on adult sizes you can pretty safely print 13” w x 17”h or larger on the back for a big full back print.

Can pls explain again with spacing for 4in or 4.5in round logo print. Include image with crosshair where should we make sure is correctly alligned for polo shirt. Thanks @transferexpress

@transferexpress Жыл бұрын

For a round image, I would recommend a graphic closer to 3.75"-4" as 4.5" can look a little large for a left chest with circle or square graphics. We can't provide an image in the comments section here, but we have some placement guidelines here, as they do differ with the size of the garment: blog.transferexpress.com/left-chest-shirt-printing-placement/ Additionally, in our print placement and positioning video, we show a left chest placement on a polo: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mt2CebWFl8_ddqs.html

I have the same shirts, same brand, same size. I fold my shirts in half an press the center line (to later add a back design), then I find where the collar meets the shoulder and place my LEFT chest logo. Each shirt comes out different. Some logos are closer to the center line than others. Am I doing something wrong ? Is this normal? OR should I press the center line for each shirt and place the LEFT chest logo at the same distance from the center?

Thanks so much .. I have searched high and low to get this explanation .. i am using print on demand so I have to do it all on the computer .. do you do print on demand at all?

@transferexpress 5 ай бұрын

Yes, a few different ways. We do offer print on demand services through STAHLS' Fulfill Engine, essentially just set up products to sell online (even integrated with Shopify) and push production and fulfillment out to a vendor (print shop) that will fulfill your apparel orders for you. Learn more at fulfillengine.com Additionally, we also offer the backend of that software for decorators or brands looking to produce in-house for higher profit margins compared to outsourcing for print on demand. With heat transfers (like the Goof Proof screen printed transfer or the Ultracolor Max direct to film heat transfers we use in this video) it's easier and a lower investment into equipment than ever before. No need for the risk of expensive bulk printing runs or stocked pre-printed inventory, order what you need when you need it, and produce when the order comes in. You can learn more about that software and the benefits here: www.stahls.com/fulfill-engine We have a video showing that process of printing on demand with a heat press a little bit here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMdkqbt-zMfFf4k.html

Is this the same with a 3x shirt? Only 4 fingers down?

@transferexpress 2 ай бұрын

Great question! It would be just slightly lower: this is where checking the placement against the sleeve like we show at 03:20 here would confirm the correct placement.

@WeirdWatchShorts Жыл бұрын

So we got the measurements down and over. How we make sure the actually horizontal wording is level and not dipped up or down at either end 😢

@transferexpress Жыл бұрын

Great question! With proper loading of the garment onto heat press you can line it up to the edges of the platen (just like we did for the Palm Bay text graphic we show at 5:58 for a straight placement). However, with smaller platen sizes it can be tricky to ensure the garment is straight, so you can lay it flat on a table to place the graphic straight, then tape it down, similar to how we show it at 4:16 in this video (just we show it on a mannequin). Using a technique like we show in this placement in positioning video ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mt2CebWFl8_ddqs.html ) you'll see we find the center of the transfer and then crease it at the top and bottom- Ensure those creases line up with the centerline of your left chest placement and it'll be perfectly placed, nice and straight! Alternatively, just like with the placement guide we use in this video at 5:36, you can align your graphic to the bottom edge (or if the transfer carrier is cut straight you can align to that too) when aligned to the collar and the shoulder seams. Hope this helps!

@calw8085 4 ай бұрын

You aren’t going to be a pro at anything done for the first time. T shirt pressing works as you get a feel for it overtime. This video is spot on for finding where to place a logo. once you get good, you become efficient. Then you won’t even need a centerline as you can eyeball it and get it perfect every time.
