Full-colour heat transfers with a white underbase that pops on black and coloured garments. Supplied as gang sheets or cut-to-size, ready for any heat press.
Peel, press with your thumb, done. UV transfers bond to hard surfaces with a raised gloss finish you can feel. No heat press needed.
Permanent, precise marks on metal, timber, leather and acrylic. Great for promotional merch, gifts, awards and packaging that feels as good as what’s inside.

Settings are starting points. Every order includes application instructions for the exact film used.
You deal directly with the person printing your job, from first file check to dispatch.
Nothing goes to press until you’ve approved it, so there are no surprises when the box arrives.
Printed locally in Victoria, so Australian orders reach you fast without overseas lead times.
Tiered trade pricing for brands and resellers, with no minimum on DTF and UV DTF sheets.
A calibrated colour workflow keeps your brand colours consistent across fabric, glass and metal.
Satisfying peels, scratch tests and press runs straight from the studio. Follow along to see new work before anyone else.
Trade accounts get tiered pricing and a direct line to the studio. Every enquiry gets a reply within one business day.

Send a transparent PNG at 300 DPI at the final print size, in sRGB. Leave at least 5 mm between designs so they cut cleanly.
Avoid soft shadows and semi-transparent pixels, which print as a faint haze. Keep fine lines at 0.5 mm or thicker so they survive the peel.
Engraving needs vector artwork: SVG, AI, EPS or PDF with fonts converted to outlines. Photos can be engraved too; send them at 600 DPI.
UV DTF accepts vector files or a 300 DPI PNG. If you only want the raised gloss on part of the design, put that area on its own layer.
DTF and UV DTF transfers are dispatched within 24–48 hours of artwork approval on business days. Engraving runs usually take 3–5 business days, depending on quantity.
Artwork approved before 12 pm AEST counts from that day.
Yes. Every Australian order ships with tracking to all states and territories. International shipping is quoted for each order; import duties and taxes are paid by the recipient unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Colour Press Studio isn’t registered for GST, so we don’t add GST to any price and our invoices aren’t tax invoices. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay.
No minimum for DTF gang sheets or UV DTF sheets. Laser engraving starts at 10 pieces for promotional runs, and one-off pieces are quoted individually.
Follow the instructions included with your order for temperature, pressure and peel. After peeling, press again for 5 seconds with a cover sheet, then wait 24 hours before the first wash.
Wash inside-out at 40 °C or below and avoid hot tumble drying.
