You Saved Me
I was ready to give up and sell my equipment... I emailed and within no time I was printing. THANK YOU Silhouette U... You saved me.

Thank You Silhouette U!
I had no idea how to get my Roland to cut. I reached out to Melissa, scheduled a 1:1, and within an hour she had me up and running. I was able to successfully complete my very first print and cut today!

Creating a Side Income
"What is my time worth?" Without Silhouette U, I'd have a very expensive paperweight right now. It's transformed what could have been junk into something I can see myself using to make a side income. RAPIDLY.
Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional DTF transfers are printed on film, then heat pressed onto fabric — great for t-shirts, hoodies, and apparel. UV DTF is a cold-apply sticker-style transfer that works on hard surfaces like tumblers, phone cases, and wood — no heat press needed. Both have their place depending on what you're making.
It depends on your budget, print volume, and whether you're printing at home or in a small studio. That's exactly what our free printer finder quiz above is designed to answer — just answer 7 quick questions and we'll match you to the best option for your situation.
DTF printers require regular maintenance, and if you're not printing consistently the ink heads can clog. If you just need transfers occasionally — or want to test DTF before investing in equipment — you can order custom DTF transfers directly from our shop. We print them for you, you just press them.
