A guide on how to print the same file several times or even print different files on the same template.
Digital Factory Apparel Polyprint Edition software is equipped with various tools that give the user a number of options when it comes to organizing his production. Among those tools, there is one that allows printing multiple images at once. Those images can be the same, for example, a company logo or a signature that can be duplicated several times, or different designs placed within the same template. This feature can be proved very useful when the user performs DTF, as the printed images can be cut and transferred on multiple garments.
Different files in the same template
In order to print different designs within the same template, you have to create a Fixed Sheet template. In this template, you can move your files throughout the template’s available area, without any restrictions to their placement. This way you can print multiple smaller designs in a single transfer film, cut them and transfer them to different textiles, parts of the same clothing piece, or even store them for future use. Keep in mind, that all the designs have to be printed in the same queue and with the print mode.
