The Halftone tool in DTFForge online: settings on the left, screen preview on the right.
Tools

Four tools, from the customer's file to the approved proof.

The same settings as in the plugin for Photoshop, with a preview recalculated after every change.

TOOL 01

Halftone

Gradients and transparency that print, with a softer hand feel.

  • Knockout: the shirt colour disappears and the image turns into dots
  • Fades: only the shadows and glows of a transparent PNG are screened
  • Levels just like Photoshop, screen ruling, angle and dot shape
  • Dots that are too small are removed: they wouldn't hold the powder
1 token per exported file
See it in the guide
TOOL 02

Background removal

A white, black or coloured background removed cleanly, ready for the gang sheet.

  • Background colour read from the corners, picked with the eyedropper or typed in
  • Only the background touching the edges, or the colour removed everywhere
  • Smooth edges, cleaned fringe, small specks removed
  • Transparent 300 ppi PNG, at print size
1 token per exported file
See it in the guide
TOOL 03

Gang sheet

Your designs nested across the film width, without wasting a centimetre.

  • Film width from 30 to 60 cm, or your own
  • Quantity and width for each design, rotation to save film
  • Metres of film and number of sheets worked out before you export
  • Each sheet as a transparent 300 ppi PNG
1 token per exported file
See it in the guide
TOOL 04

Client proof

The proof your customer approves, online.

  • T-shirt, hoodie, polo, tank top, tote bag, cap, or your own photos
  • Designs placed at real size, dimensioned in cm, front and back
  • One link to send: the customer downloads the PDF and clicks “Approved for print”
  • You get an e-mail; customers, designs and proofs stay organised
1 token per proof version

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Photoshop?

No. Everything happens in your browser, on a computer, tablet or phone. Processing runs on our servers, so a modest computer is enough.

What is a token?

1 token = 1 exported file (a Halftone, a design with its background removed or a gang sheet) or 1 proof version. Adjusting settings and watching the preview costs nothing.

How long do my tokens last?

Subscription tokens are valid for the current month and the next. Pack tokens are valid for 12 months. The 10 tokens you get when you sign up never expire. Tokens that expire first are used first.

Can I change plan or cancel?

Yes, from the Tokens screen. A higher plan takes effect immediately: the difference is charged pro rata and the extra tokens arrive straight away. A lower plan takes effect at the next renewal. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period, and your tokens stay valid until their date.

Do I get an invoice?

Yes, an invoice for every payment, sent by e-mail and always available on the Tokens screen, with your address and your VAT number if you enter it at checkout.

What happens to my files?

Your images and exported files are kept for 7 days, then deleted automatically. Your customers, proof designs and proofs stay in your account until you delete them. Nobody else can access them.

What if an export fails?

The token is refunded automatically. Downloading a file you have already exported again is free for 7 days.

Can I get a refund?

Tokens are available as soon as you pay: by paying, you ask for this immediate access and waive the withdrawal period. The 10 free tokens and the free previews let you try before you buy. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Are the plugin and the online tools the same account?

No. The plugin licence is activated in Photoshop; the online tools work with an account and tokens. The two are independent.
