Yes, you can order custom DTF transfers from Marie Gems by uploading your own print-ready artwork at checkout. Pick a size from 4" to 12" and a quantity of 1, 5, 10 or 20, and prices match the regular transfers at $2.00 to $64.00. These are the five questions I get before people upload.
I run Marie Gems, a DTF transfer shop in Wichita, Kansas, with sizes from 4" to 12", no minimum order and more than 500 orders shipped. When you contact me, you reach one person, and I print every transfer myself, in house.
The upload page lists six steps: choose your transfer size, select the quantity, upload your print-ready artwork, add any order notes, place your order, and receive your transfer already printed. There is no gang sheet to build, and a single transfer is a valid order. A custom 12" transfer is $4.00 for one, $18.00 for five and $64.00 for twenty, the same as my regular designs.
What file should I upload for a custom DTF transfer?
High-resolution PNG artwork is preferred when a transparent background is appropriate. Clear, high-resolution JPG/JPEG artwork may also be accepted.
The custom DTF upload page says to upload the highest-resolution version of your design, and to avoid blurry, pixelated or low-resolution files. Its upload box lists JPG, PNG, HEIC and PDF, and the file uploads when you add the transfer to your cart. You must also own the artwork or have permission to reproduce it.
Can I send a reference image instead of finished artwork?
You can contact Marie Gems about a reference image or design idea, but reference-based custom design work is separate from printing an existing print-ready file and may require an additional design fee.
The upload listing is for artwork that is already print-ready. If you have an idea but need someone to draw it, contact me first and we can talk about the fee before you order anything.
How are custom DTF transfers sized?
Artwork is proportionally scaled to preserve its original aspect ratio, so the exact width and height vary by design.
The size you choose is the maximum design dimension, which means a 12" transfer is not necessarily a 12-by-12-inch square. My size guide lists 10" as popular for adult shirt-front designs and 12" as the full-size option, and the sizes are 4", 6", 8", 10" and 12". My post on 12x12 DTF transfers explains what the size means.
Will my DTF transfer match what I ordered?
Yes. Your transfer will be printed using the artwork you submitted or the design shown in the listing. Please keep in mind that colors can vary slightly between what you see on a phone or computer screen and the finished DTF transfer, because screens display color differently than printed ink. I do my best to keep colors, details and sizing consistent with the original design. If you're ordering for a brand or project where an exact color match is especially important, contact me before ordering so we can discuss it.
The custom listing says the film is printed with a built-in white base, so your artwork shows true color on both light and dark fabric.
Can I reach a real person if something is wrong with my order?
Absolutely! Marie Gems is a small business, and when you contact me, you're talking to a real person, not a chatbot or a large customer service department. If something arrives damaged, incorrect, or you have a question about your order, just reach out with your order information and photos if applicable.
You can reach me through the contact page or at marie@mariegems.com. My shipping and returns post covers the policy, including what to do about a damaged or wrong item.

When your file is ready, open the custom DTF transfer listing. Every transfer presses at 320°F for 15 seconds with a cold peel, and my comparison of ready-made and custom prices shows custom costs the same as ready-made at every size, and what actually differs is the artwork and the returns.
