22.5" Manual DTF Gang Sheet Builder – Original Edition
Our original Manual DTF Gang Sheet Builder is still a favorite with makers who like to fine-tune every inch of their artwork before it goes to press. While our newer automated tool streamlines layout, this classic version keeps the legacy features many long-time customers rely on—giving you hands-on control from upload to checkout.
What makes the Original Builder different?
1. Pixel-Perfect Manual Layout
Instead of auto-snapping your images into a grid, you choose the exact placement, rotation, and spacing of every logo, graphic, or text element. This “drag-and-drop and nudge” approach lets you squeeze maximum designs onto a 22.5-inch width without compromising bleed or trim margins.
2. Static Canvas Size for Predictable Press Settings
The sheet size never changes, so your heat-press temperature and pressure recipes stay consistent. Perfect for decorators who have dialed in production on older presses and don’t want to recalibrate for variable sheet dimensions.
3. Legacy File Compatibility
Have artwork templates you created years ago? The Original Builder supports the same file-naming conventions, color-profile defaults, and 300 DPI PNG requirements that seasoned customers expect. No need to re-export or chase down missing ICC profiles.
4. Classic “What You See Is What We Print” Policy
Our team still prints the file exactly as uploaded—no automated resampling or hidden compression. That means gradients stay smooth, tiny text stays crisp, and you keep full responsibility for final proofing.
