Running a DTF shop shouldn't feel this chaotic
Most shops run on a patchwork of spreadsheets, Photoshop, text messages, and memory. It works — until an order slips, a gang sheet wastes film, or a customer texts you at 11pm asking where their shirts are.
Quoting takes forever
Looking up SanMar style numbers, calculating per-sqin decoration costs, building quotes in spreadsheets, emailing PDFs.
Payments are disconnected
Venmo, Zelle, checks — nothing ties back to the order. You track who paid in your head or a notebook.
Production is a whiteboard
Paper lists and group texts to figure out what films to print, which blanks to order, and what needs pressing next.
Gang sheets are manual
Arranging transfers in Photoshop or Illustrator to fill a 22x60" sheet. Wasting film, wasting ink, wasting time.
Mockups eat your day
Opening Photoshop for every new order, placing artwork on blanks, exporting, emailing, waiting for approval.
Customer updates = DMs
"Is my order ready?" texts all day. No portal, no tracking, no automated updates. You are the customer service bot.
PressOS replaces all of that with one system built specifically for DTF.
Everything you need to run your DTF shop. From first quote to final press — one platform, zero duct-tape.

Your entire production floor,

Print Queue
All pending DTF prints organized by order, priority, and due date. Assign to specific printers in your shop.
Film QC
Quality-check printed films before they hit the press. Flag bleeds, misprints, or color issues. Request reprints.
Pressing

Blank Tracking
Purchase orders for blanks tied to production orders. Know which garments are in stock and which need ordering.

Quote-ready
Mockups auto-attach to quote sections. Decoration pricing calculates from print dimensions. Customers see exactly what they are paying for.
Gang sheet ready
Approved mockup artwork flows directly into gang sheet generation. No re-uploading, no re-sizing.
Stop opening Photoshop
for every order.
Upload your artwork, pick a blank from the catalog, set your print locations, and PressOS generates a production-ready mockup. Send it to the customer for approval. When they sign off, the artwork and print sizes flow directly into your gang sheets and production queue.
Stop wasting film.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
How does pricing work?
PressOS is free to use — no subscription, no setup cost, no credit card to start. We take a 5% app fee on card transactions processed through Square. The fee is deducted automatically from each payment — a $200 order means $10 goes to PressOS. You never see a bill.
Do I need to be a SanMar customer?
PressOS integrates with SanMar for catalog products, pricing, and inventory. You will need SanMar credentials to use the catalog features, but you can still use PressOS for quoting, production, gang sheets, and order management without it.
Can my customers see their orders?
Yes. Every order gets a unique portal link. Customers can view their order status, approve mockups, request revisions, and message your team — all without creating an account.
How does the gang sheet builder work?
PressOS auto-arranges your DTF transfers onto gang sheets sized to your printer specs. Combine prints from multiple orders, maximize film coverage, and export RIP-ready files. Every print stays tied to its order for traceability.
What about cash or check payments?
Cash and check payments recorded in PressOS do not incur the 5% fee. The fee only applies to card transactions processed through Square. You can track all payment types in the system.
Can I use PressOS for non-DTF printing?
PressOS is purpose-built for DTF workflows — gang sheets, film QC, pressing, per-sqin pricing. While quoting and order management work for any business, the production pipeline and tooling are optimized specifically for DTF.
How do I get started?
Sign up and start building quotes. Products come from the SanMar catalog, customers are created as you quote, and orders build themselves from paid invoices. There is nothing to migrate — just start using it.
