## Questions

### How do I make a DTF gang sheet online?

Open the 3dawg Print Builder, pick DTF transfers as the material, add your artwork and turn on Gang Up. Set how many copies of each design you need and the builder nests them into the print width. The price updates with the exact length used, then add it to your cart.

### How is a gang sheet priced?

By length: the exact length your layout uses times the material's price per yard, shown live while you design. There is no minimum and no fixed sheet size.

### What file types work on a gang sheet?

PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF images and SVG, PDF, AI, EPS and PS vectors. Transparent PNGs at 300 DPI give the best results.

### Can I put different designs on one sheet?

Yes. Mix as many designs and sizes as you like; Gang Up nests all of them together, turning pieces to fit when that saves space.

### Do I need to prep my art first?

If your art has a background or shirt color to remove, or needs halftones, run it through the 3dawg Halftoner first, then add it to the sheet.
