Dave, if no one has told you this today, "YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!"
Thanks Christopher- I'm so happy I can help other decorators and entrepreneurs succeed! 😁 This comment made my day!
I have lost many shirts to the cursed left chest print 😅 but I learned the hard way and now we’re good lol.
Hahaha I'm with you Joshua! I too learned the hard way many years ago and want to help as many decorators avoid the same mistakes I did! 😆
Super informative and to the point. Thanks!! Just the video I was looking for.
Thanks Emily! We're so happy we could help out!
Dave is doing such a great job 👏 amazing video.
Thanks Paul! Left chest print locations are the source of frustration for many decorators just starting out, so we wanted a resource that helps make print placement as accurate and easy as possible!
The best explanation I've seen in years. Thank you.
We're so happy we could help out!
Thank you for the video. You do a wonderful job explaining and teaching .
Thanks Jack! So glad we could help out!
Just did my first left chest placement order and used this video as reference! thank you so much!

Thank you!! I will screen print and this explanation was very helpful!!!

Always happy to help!
Great info and great job Dave!!
Preciate this fr!
Goldy T! We're always happy to help- Spot on placements help everyone succeed!
I’ve seen so many operators who just don’t take the time to evaluate the garment accurately. There’s nothing worse than a low left print on shirts for women’s groups.
Bingo, You got it! Just that extra couple seconds to check placement to the garment makes a world of a difference!
Wearing one I flubbed right now. 😅
Thanks Dave
I'm always happy to help! Thanks Penny!
Omg this helped so much i have been struggling with this. Do you have a video for sizing wording on a shirt.
You bet gdubbs! So glad we could help out. We have a great video on sizing your print (using a text example) here: czcams.com/video/USBAQ6ulrmE/video.html
I’ve had Transfer Express on my radar for quite some time now. I find the videos to be helpful and I’m feeling pretty confident to place my first order sooner rather than later.
Thanks Lou, we're always happy to help out however we can, be it heat printing education & resources, apparel trends or small business tips. If you have any specific questions we're right here to answer them 👍
@@transferexpress Thank you, I appreciate it. I surely will keep that in mind too. 🙌🏾
bravo
Thanks! We're always happy to help out.
When are you having a convention in Cincinnati? I would love that.
Great question Jack! Unfortunately, we're not going to be in Cincinnati this year, but we will be in Indianapolis Oct 3-4th at the Graphic Pro Expo.

Can you guys do a video on where and how to do a back Hoodie & Crewneck placement ?
Also how large can a back dtf design can go as I want to add a large back piece to fill the back of Hoodie’s and Crewneck
Thanks
Willie
That’s a great suggestion Willie! While we’re working on it, you can check out the print placement on the back of hoodies that we cover in this video right around 14 minutes: czcams.com/video/dwRFRT2iyFw/video.htmlsi=iBRkvBazs00qLf6q
As for sizing, on adult sizes you can pretty safely print 13” w x 17”h or larger on the back for a big full back print.
I have the same shirts, same brand, same size. I fold my shirts in half an press the center line (to later add a back design), then I find where the collar meets the shoulder and place my LEFT chest logo. Each shirt comes out different. Some logos are closer to the center line than others. Am I doing something wrong ? Is this normal? OR should I press the center line for each shirt and place the LEFT chest logo at the same distance from the center?

We're always happy to help!
Thanks so much .. I have searched high and low to get this explanation .. i am using print on demand so I have to do it all on the computer .. do you do print on demand at all?
Yes, a few different ways. We do offer print on demand services through STAHLS' Fulfill Engine, essentially just set up products to sell online (even integrated with Shopify) and push production and fulfillment out to a vendor (print shop) that will fulfill your apparel orders for you. Learn more at fulfillengine.com
Additionally, we also offer the backend of that software for decorators or brands looking to produce in-house for higher profit margins compared to outsourcing for print on demand. With heat transfers (like the Goof Proof screen printed transfer or the Ultracolor Max direct to film heat transfers we use in this video) it's easier and a lower investment into equipment than ever before. No need for the risk of expensive bulk printing runs or stocked pre-printed inventory, order what you need when you need it, and produce when the order comes in.
You can learn more about that software and the benefits here: www.stahls.com/fulfill-engine
We have a video showing that process of printing on demand with a heat press a little bit here: czcams.com/video/Ja4vXMgaaOU/video.html
Can pls explain again with spacing for 4in or 4.5in round logo print. Include image with crosshair where should we make sure is correctly alligned for polo shirt. Thanks @transferexpress
For a round image, I would recommend a graphic closer to 3.75"-4" as 4.5" can look a little large for a left chest with circle or square graphics. We can't provide an image in the comments section here, but we have some placement guidelines here, as they do differ with the size of the garment: blog.transferexpress.com/left-chest-shirt-printing-placement/
Additionally, in our print placement and positioning video, we show a left chest placement on a polo: czcams.com/video/dwRFRT2iyFw/video.html
THANKS. I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO PUT PICTURES ON HOODIE
You're in the right spot! We have a great video on printing hoodies here: czcams.com/video/qqpjz8fREOc/video.html
As well as a video about the right transfers to use for printing photographs on apparel: czcams.com/video/eHTV_Kf1eIY/video.html
Is this the same with a 3x shirt? Only 4 fingers down?
Great question! It would be just slightly lower: this is where checking the placement against the sleeve like we show at 03:20 here would confirm the correct placement.
Do you do drop shipping
While we do not provide drop shipped decorated apparel or transfers, you can find drop shipping solutions from a network of decorators using www.stahls.com/fulfill-engine
where can I get a placement ruler please? TIA
We have our placement rulers available in our Application Kit: www.transferexpress.com/heat-press-accessories/application-kit
The kit also includes some very helpful heat printing tools: A mousepad for raising print areas, temperature test strips, a pack of cover sheets, application guides, $10 account credit and a t-shirt pre-printed with standard print sizing and placements!
So we got the measurements down and over. How we make sure the actually horizontal wording is level and not dipped up or down at either end 😢
Great question! With proper loading of the garment onto heat press you can line it up to the edges of the platen (just like we did for the Palm Bay text graphic we show at 5:58 for a straight placement). However, with smaller platen sizes it can be tricky to ensure the garment is straight, so you can lay it flat on a table to place the graphic straight, then tape it down, similar to how we show it at 4:16 in this video (just we show it on a mannequin).
Using a technique like we show in this placement in positioning video ( czcams.com/video/dwRFRT2iyFw/video.html ) you'll see we find the center of the transfer and then crease it at the top and bottom- Ensure those creases line up with the centerline of your left chest placement and it'll be perfectly placed, nice and straight!
Alternatively, just like with the placement guide we use in this video at 5:36, you can align your graphic to the bottom edge (or if the transfer carrier is cut straight you can align to that too) when aligned to the collar and the shoulder seams.
Hope this helps!
🎉❤😂😊🎉
Why are you not wearing a T-shirt?
Haha Dirk, Dave gets that a lot. We can assure you, he wears plenty of t-shirts too.
I bet you did plenty of pride shirts.
learned nothing. nothing here is efficient and systematic. I think the best way would be to print a template for employees to follow. I think you are speaking to people who make shirts with dtf as a hobby
You aren’t going to be a pro at anything done for the first time. T shirt pressing works as you get a feel for it overtime. This video is spot on for finding where to place a logo. once you get good, you become efficient. Then you won’t even need a centerline as you can eyeball it and get it perfect every time.
