Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between DTF and UV DTF?
- DTF applies heat-pressed transfers to fabric. UV DTF bonds laminated decals to hard surfaces like glass, metal, plastic, ceramic, and wood. The UV DTF Builder outputs files optimized for hard-surface workflows with the correct color space and cutline profile.
- Can I gang sheet UV DTF designs?
- Yes. The UV DTF Builder shares the same nesting engine as the DTF Canvas Builder, tuned for laminated transfers. Set sheet size, gap, and margin, drag designs onto the canvas, and export with live utilization metrics.
- Does the export include a cutline for plotters?
- Yes. Every UV DTF export includes an auto-generated contour cutline at adjustable offset. The path saves as a separate layer so your plotter software reads it directly without manual tracing.
