One sheet, several prints
A gang sheet groups prints together. You can use different designs or repeat the same design. Each design still needs its own print size and count.
Start with a short list. For example: 10 front designs at 10 inches wide, plus 10 small designs at 3 inches wide. That is 20 prints, even though they may share sheets.
Start with the correct transfer type
Open Start an order → Transfers to DIY
Choose DTF Transfers, Peel & Stick UV, or Single Color Bulk for plastisol.
Choose Upload my designs now
Use an existing file, or choose the artwork option that fits your project. Confirm the transfer type in the builder before arranging the sheet.
Add, size, and count the designs
Add the artwork
Use Upload Designs for the first file, or Upload New Design for another one. The Design Library and AI artwork paths are also available where shown. Review any credit quote before a paid artwork action.
Set Width and Height in Upload Design
Wait for the preview and Auto-Trim to finish, then check both dimensions in inches. Auto-Trim removes blank space and can change the dimensions. Keep the aspect ratio locked to preserve the design’s shape.
Wait for the preview and Auto-Trim. Then set the print size and Qty. This practice example has four 3-inch prints. Set Qty, choose the artwork option, and add the design
Qty is the number of individual prints. Front and back designs need separate counts. Read How should we print it? and any price or approval steps, then choose Add to Gang Sheet.
Fit the layout
Choose Auto-Build on the canvas. Some desktop quick-start screens call it Auto-Nest. Check the resulting sheets and any warnings; fitting a layout does not approve its artwork.
Need to edit, fit, or save the sheet?
For plastisol, check the ink and sheet quantity too
Choose the ink before adding a plastisol sheet to the cart. Copies per sheet and sheet quantity are different: four copies on each of ten sheets gives 40 prints.
Check the current quote and minimum for your order. Do not reuse a DTF price, quantity assumption, or turnaround choice for plastisol.
Review every sheet
Open the proof when the flow asks you to review it. A proof is the layout or artwork shown for your approval. Do not approve a blank or missing preview.
Add to Cart, then check what is being bought
Choose Add to Cart. If you are editing a sheet already in the cart, the button can say Update Cart. Recheck the cart after changes.
A sheet preview is not a paid order. The cart and checkout must still show the correct items, artwork choice, delivery, and total. For ready-to-wear items, use the finished-apparel or Press It For Me choices and review the garment placements.
If the layout does not look right
| Symptom | What to try |
|---|---|
| A design is missing | Check the design list, count, and all generated sheets. |
| A design is too large to fit | Check the intended print dimensions before changing the size. |
| The wrong transfer type is selected | Stop before paying and return to the matching product path. |
| There are duplicate copies | Compare the design counts with your original print list. |
| The preview is blank or processing never finishes | Keep the project open, avoid approving it, and ask AMS with the error and screenshot. |
What to do next
- Prepare artwork and choose a print size Check the file, background, sharpness, and final size before you order.
- Apply transfers and care for your items Find the matching product instructions before you use heat or peel the carrier.
- Track an order or get order help Find the right order, check shipment tracking, and send AMS the details needed to help.
