See it shimmer
Shimmer that moves with you.
Pearl lays a pearlescent, blue-green shimmer over your full color design. Look straight at it and your colors read true. Tilt it and the sheen rolls across.
Straight on. Your colors, true.
Simulated on screen. In person, the shimmer shifts with the light and the angle you see it from.
How pearl works
Color underneath. Shimmer on top.
Each transfer prints your design in full color on pearl DTF film, with a pearlescent shimmer over the whole design. Straight on you see your colors. Change the angle and a blue-green shimmer moves across them. Every transfer you order here prints on pearl film.

Flat and smooth shimmers best.

- 03 Peel cold Start at the bold side, away from fine details. Keep the film low and pull it back over itself.

- Flat means flat. Keep seams, collars and hems out of the print area, or press over a pressing pillow.
- Hard to peel? Let it cool fully, add pressure, press again and retry.
- Teflon for the finish. A glossy Teflon seal keeps the pearl effect at its strongest.
Works onCotton, polyester, nylon and rayon, any garment color. Settings vary by press, so press a test piece first.

Rock n Roll PhotographerSo initially I ordered a small batch to see the quality. I was very impressed with the image transfer especially since it was one of my photos. Some companies don’t give a clear image. This one was very very clear. And looks great! I’ll be back for sure.

Best quality with on-time DeliveryI've been using DTF for my transfer artwork over a year now. Very happy with the service.
DaisyVerified DTFSheet customer -
Great!Great service, super quick, and I like the quality. I wish DTF in general were a little more like screen printing. The plastic feeling is less desirable in my opinion, but it is what it is.

Diego O.Verified DTFSheet customer -
Absolutely Perfect!I’m a cosplayer who needed a specific design printed on a DTF transfer, and at first I went to a different website with terrible results, but DTFSheet.com got everything correct the first time! The colors, sizing, and quality are outstanding, and although I haven’t applied this to my project yet, I’m already extremely happy with the transfer just based on...

After trying many different printers, DTFSheet is now my go to for all my transfersI just started designing graphic tank tops.I have tried many different vendors when ordering my transfers .With DTFSheets i finally have found my go to printer. The colors are vibrant and true to my designs. The pricing is great and i love the free shipping offer. I utilize the largest gang sheet and get the most bang for my buck.

A direct to film transfer printed on pearl DTF film at the size you choose. It adds a pearlescent blue-green shimmer over your full color design that shifts as the garment moves, and your colors stay true underneath. You press it on with a heat press.
No. Straight on, your design reads in its own colors. The pearl shimmer shows as the angle changes, so it adds to your colors instead of replacing them.
A pearlescent blue-green sheen, a little like a holographic card, that moves across the design as you or the garment move.
Glitter puts a layer of glitter over the whole design that sparkles every time it catches light. Pearl is a pearlescent shimmer that shifts with the angle while your colors stay true underneath. Choose glitter for sparkle and pearl for an elegant sheen.
Cotton, polyester, nylon and rayon, in any garment color.
Designs where you want shimmer without losing color: premium logos, fashion pieces and event shirts. Place them on a flat area of the garment, because seams, collars and hems in the print area break the shimmer.
Every design you order on this page prints on pearl film. For designs that do not need the shimmer, order standard DTF transfers by size.
Small sizes from 2x2 to 5x3 inches suit hats, left chest and sleeves. Mid sizes suit youth tees and text logos. Full sizes up to 12x17 inches cover an adult full front or back. Tap a size in the size guide above to see it drawn on a tee.
Roll keeps your transfers together on the film for you to trim. Pre-cut arrives cut apart and ready to press. Both use the same pearl film and press the same way.

Let it cool fully, add pressure, press again and retry. Peel from the bold side, away from fine details, keeping the film low and pulling it back over itself.
