DTF Transfers Terminology Guide
Understanding key terms in heat transfer printing is crucial for precise design placement and sizing on apparel. Here’s a breakdown:
- Print Location: Refers to the general area on the garment where the print is applied, such as the left chest or full back. It indicates the broad category of where the design will appear.
- Print Placement: The specific spot on the garment where the design is positioned. This varies based on garment size, wearer preference, and design considerations.
- Print Area: The actual surface area on the fabric that the design covers, taking into account any obstacles like pockets, seams, or buttons that might affect the print.
- Print Size: The dimensions of the design itself. It’s determined by measuring the artwork intended for transfer, which helps in defining the required print area.
- Standard Size: A commonly used size range for designs based on the print location. This varies among different garment types, such as adult, ladies, and youth sizes, and serves as a guideline for design creation.
- Oversize: Refers to any design larger than the standard size but smaller than the maximum size that can be printed on the garment.
- Maximum Size: The largest possible dimensions for a print on a specific garment, dictated by the garment’s size and shape.
- Anchor Point: A specific point within the design used for alignment purposes. This is especially important for asymmetrical designs to ensure correct positioning.
