Our talented team of designers will make sure your art looks perfect for print or you can use our free background removal tool.

Do I Have to Mirror my Art When Uploading?

No, you do not need to mirror your artwork when uploading it to our website. As long as you upload a high resolution or vector file, we'll be able to turn your artwork into a DTF transfer or UV DTF 3D PermaSticker™.

What File Types Should I Use When Uploading My Artwork?

MAYA TX does not charge for any file or art setup, however, when uploading your art, the following file types are preferred:

  • PSD (Photoshop)
  • PNG
  • PDF
  • AI (Adobe Illustrator)
  • JPG
  • SVG

Our preference: SVG files work best because it allows us to re-size artwork without losing any quality. However, as long as you upload a file (PNG, JPG, PDF) with 300 DPI, we'll be able to re-size the image to your liking, without losing any quality whatsoever.

What Size DTF Transfers Should I Order For Women's Shirts?

For women's shirts, a 9" by 9" DTF Transfer design typically works the best.

Although there can be a large variance in sizing between a Women's XS and a Women's 2XL, we still find that the 9" by 9" sizing works well.

What Size DTF Transfers Should I Order For Youth Sizes?

For youth shirts, a 8" by 8" DTF Transfer is suitable.

Although there's a fairly large variance in sizing between a Youth XS and a Youth L & Youth XL, an 8" by 8" DTF Transfer design is still suitable.

What Size Transfer Should I Order for a Full Back Print?

For full back shirt prints, we recommend going with our 9" x 11" option, up to 12" x 17" depending on the size of the shirt.

What Size Transfers Should I Order For Adult Shirts? 2XL - 5XL

For adult shirts, even with a size scale of Adult S through Adult 5XL, 11" by 11" or larger is recommended.

However, with DTF transfers you are able to modify the sizes as you like and still retain the bulk discount pricing on the whole order.

If you prefer to modify the design size based on shirt size, we recommend the following:

Adult Small through 2XL: 11" by 11" or larger

Adult 3XL through 5XL: 12" by 14" or larger

What is the Appropriate Size for a Left Side Chest Logo?

For a left chest logo, we recommend the following sizes:

  • Size range: 2.5"-4.5" width, 2.5"-4.5" height
  • Average size: 3.5"W x 2"H Adult, 2.5"W x 1.5"H Youth
