Background remover questions
Made by The Buckeye Branding Company, a family print and engraving shop in Copley, Ohio.
Is the background remover really free?
Yes. Removing backgrounds, knocking out colors and sizing your image costs nothing. The cleaned-up file is saved with your order when we print it for you on a DTF transfer, shirt, hoodie or other product.
What kind of images work best?
Logos on a plain white or solid background clean up instantly. Photos work too: our AI cut-out finds the subject and removes the rest. Use the largest image you have. The tool warns you if the image is too small for the print size you pick.
What size should my image be for a DTF transfer?
For sharp prints, aim for about 300 pixels per inch at the size you want to print. A 10 inch wide print looks best from an image around 3000 pixels wide. The tool shows a quality rating as you set the size.
Why does my artwork need a transparent background?
DTF prints everything in the file, including white or colored boxes behind your design. A transparent background means only your design transfers to the shirt.
Can I put several designs on one DTF gang sheet?
Yes. On our DTF gang sheet page, use Build a gang sheet to add several designs, set the size and copies of each, and we arrange them on a 14 x 18 or 14 x 26 inch sheet.
How fast will my order be ready?
Most DTF transfer orders are ready in about 4 hours. Pick up at our shop in Copley, Ohio, or we ship anywhere in the US.
