Sizing Tips for Best DTF Results
- Measure between seams; adjust down for slim or women’s cuts.
- For hoodies, raise the design to clear the pocket and hood drop.
- Use a center-finder/ruler for consistent placement on every press.
- Print a paper template to preview size on the garment before pressing.
