SpeedE Transfers | DTF Printing in Austin | FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
General DTF Printing Questions
DTF printing (that’s short for Direct to Film) is a super-cool way to make your designs shine.
Here’s how it works:
- First, we print your artwork onto a special transfer film.
- Then, with a little bunny magic (and a heat press ), you transfer that design onto your t-shirts, hoodies, bags, and more!
The result?
Vibrant, durable designs that can handle the hops, skips, and jumps of everyday life. Perfect for bold colors, crisp details, and long-lasting wear!
How does DTF printing work
“Hop along with me, and I’ll show you how the magic happens!
- First, your awesome design gets printed onto a special film using magical inks (okay, not really magic… but close!).
- Next, we sprinkle on a layer of adhesive powder — kind of like giving your design some sticky bunny SpeedE dust.
- Then we cure it (that’s a fancy way of saying we set it).
- Finally, with a big whoosh of heat from the press, your design hops right onto your fabric, creating a durable, vibrant, high-quality print!
And just like that, your design is ready to show off — quick, clean, and made to last!
What fabrics can I use DTF transfers on
“Great news, friend! One of the biggest advantages of DTF printing is its versatility — it can hop onto almost any fabric you can think of!
- Cotton? Check.
- Polyester? Yup.
- Blends? Of course.
- Even tricky synthetics like nylon? You bet!
That means you can use DTF transfers on all kinds of apparel and accessories. From tees to hoodies to bags... SpeedE’s got you covered.
SpeedE Transfers Gang Sheet Guide
A gang sheet is like a party on one transfer sheet
- You can load up multiple designs or logos all together.
- It saves you money by using every bit of space on the sheet.
- Once it’s printed, just cut out each design and press them individually onto different items.
More designs, more savings, more hoppin’ fun!
SpeedE Transfers Says: No Mirroring Needed!
Good news, hopper! You don’t need to mirror your images.
- With DTF printing on our commercial printer, our clever software does all the mirroring for you.
- When your prints arrive, just cut them apart and press — easy peasy, bunny-squeezy!

Thanks for choosing SpeedETransfers.com — we truly appreciate your business!
All sales are final. Once you hit that order button, I’m already twitching my ears and prepping your prints.
But… I do understand life throws surprises! If you need to cancel, and your order hasn’t hopped into production yet (meaning it hasn’t been queued or printed), I’ll do my best to accommodate.
If we can cancel:
There’s a small 5% fee (covers credit card fees + my time downloading & prepping your files).
If you used the Gang Sheet Builder and your file has already been downloaded, it’s a 10% fee (since that magical plugin charges us too).
Once your order is in production (or printed), there’s no turning back — I’m too fast!
At the end of the day, all refunds are decided by SpeedETransfers.com (dba Capital Signs). Thanks for understanding and for trusting this SpeedE Bunny with your prints!

If your order hops in before 12PM noon, we do our best to get it printed, packed, and shipped the same day. Sometimes—like during holidays or special situations—it may ship the next business day instead.
But wait, there’s more good news! We’ve also added USPS as a shipping partner, and the best part? It’s FREE if you select USPS at checkout! We know budgets can be tight, and we want everyone, everywhere, to experience the Speede service.
Once your order is ready, we’ll pop the tracking number into your order notes on the website. Keep in mind: you’ll be able to see it right away, but it might not update until later that day when UPS or USPS scans it into their hub.
So rest easy, friend — once SpeedE tags your order and it’s out the door, it’s on its way to you in a flash!
SpeedE Transfers Shipping Hops
We only ship with UPS (www.UPS.com) because they keep things SpeedE, safe, and trackable. By default, your order will ride with UPS Ground.
We have however started offering USPS (www.USPS.com) shipping for FREE. This service is offered with the understanding that packages can take up to 5 days to arrive. Just select on checkout!
Need your transfers faster than a bunny hop?
No problem! Just message us at SpeedEtransfers@gmail.com right after (or even before) placing your order so we can upgrade your shipping and adjust the cost.
Here’s how long each hop usually takes once UPS has your package in their paws (not counting weekends!):
UPS Ground: 1–5 business days
UPS 3-Day Select: 3 business days
UPS 2nd-Day Air: 2 business days
UPS Next Day Air: 1 business day (ZOOM! )
Remember: weekends don’t count in delivery times
UPS bunnies rest on Saturdays and Sundays too!
Artwork & File Setup
Great question, friend!
When it comes to super tiny designs, there’s a limit to keep everything pressing just right.
The smallest we recommend printing is .15 inches. Why? Because that gives enough room for the colors (and the white underbase with choke) to lay down properly so the adhesive powder sticks and melts the way it should.
Can we sometimes go smaller? Sure… but no guarantees if you try to shrink things too much. Keeping it .15 inches or bigger makes sure your design has the best adhesion and looks hoppin’ great on your garment. White does tend to stick the best when making things smaller, but again, no guarantees!
Pro tip from SpeedE: Always double-check your artwork before submitting your order. It’s part of the customer’s responsibility to make sure those details are big enough to print right!
SpeedE Transfers Says: No Mirroring Needed!
Good news, hopper! You don’t need to mirror your images.
- With DTF printing on our commercial printer, our clever software does all the mirroring for you.

Pressing Instructions
Cotton (100%)
Set your press to 260°F (127°C)
Press for 10–12 seconds
Pressure: Firm, even bunny hops
Instant / Hot Peel – peel it right away and hop to your next shirt!
Polyester & Blends
Set your press to 260°F (127°C)
Press for 8–10 seconds
Pressure: Medium (not too soft, not too squishy)
Warm Peel – give it a couple of hops (seconds) before peeling so it doesn’t lift.
Hop on to the next shirt!
SpeedE Transfers Pre-Press Check
Before you start pressing, double-check that your heat press is calibrated
- Calibration makes sure the heat and pressure are just right for a perfect transfer.
- Use a temp gun to see if the screen reading matches the real heat on the press.
- If it’s off, make a note and adjust so you’re hoppin’ at the correct temp!
SpeedE Transfers Pressing Step
- Place your DTF film right where you want your design to hop onto your fabric.
• Close the heat press and give it medium–hard bunny pressure for 15 seconds. - That quick press is all it takes — just enough time for the design to stick without overheating your shirt.
- The right combo of pressure + time makes sure your design bonds evenly, no cracks, no skips… just smooth, vibrant prints every time!
