CLIENT DESIGN TOOLS · PRINT QUALITY
Built-In Client Cleanup Tools. Cleaner Files at Checkout.
When customers upload phone photos with solid backgrounds or heavy black boxes, they often hesitate or abandon their cart. Pro Transfers Builder gives them 1-click cleanup tools right in their browser so they can fix their artwork on the spot and order transfers that press cleanly.
Fewer Abandoned Carts
Customers without Photoshop often get stuck when their logo has a white background box or low DPI. Built-in 1-click tools let them fix it themselves and finish checking out.
Softer Prints on the Shirt
Halftoning and black knockouts prevent thick, stiff ink patches. Transfers drape naturally with the fabric, hold up in the wash, and keep customers coming back.
No Unpaid Prepress Favors
Stop spending hours doing free background removals in Photoshop or emailing back and forth about file formats. Clients fix their own files, and your RIP gets a clean 300 DPI PNG.

Avoid Heavy, Plastic-Feeling Transfers.
Large solid ink deposits make DTF prints feel heavy, trap heat, and crack after a few washes. Pro Transfers Builder converts gradients and photo artwork into calibrated micro-dots that blend into the fabric, breathe naturally, and reduce white underbase ink usage by up to 35%.
- Micro-Dot Gradient Smoothing: Fades and photo transitions taper off cleanly without harsh cutoffs.
- Softer Garment Hand-Feel: Apparel stays flexible, breathable, and comfortable across wash cycles.
- In-Browser Customer Preview: Customers toggle halftoning in-browser and your RIP receives a calibrated 300 DPI raster.

What is Pro Transfers Builder?
Pro Transfers Builder is the Shopify gang sheet builder engineered by Formulated Apps, a Canadian software company based in Calgary, Alberta. Your customers upload artwork and build custom DTF, Sublimation, and UV DTF transfer gang sheets right inside your Shopify store, while you receive calibrated 300 DPI print-ready files tied directly to each order.
Can print shops use Pro Transfers Builder for both Sublimation and DTF gang sheets on Shopify?
Yes. Pro Transfers Builder is built for any roll-to-roll or cut-sheet transfer workflow on Shopify, including Direct-to-Film (DTF) PET film rolls, wide-format Dye-Sublimation transfer paper rolls (22", 24", 44", and 60" rolls for custom team jerseys, sportswear, mugs, tumblers, and lanyards), and UV DTF hard-goods decals. You can configure custom roll widths, sheet lengths, and cut margins per product variant.
Is Formulated Apps a Canadian software company?
Yes. Formulated Apps is a Canadian software engineering company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We built Pro Transfers Builder alongside our own commercial production facility (Formulated Prints) so Canadian and North American print shops get software tested on real shop floors, with native CAD and USD Shopify checkout compatibility, 18 storefront languages including English and French, and direct support from engineers in Canada.
How does automatic download to my computer work?
You connect your Google Drive or Dropbox in one click inside the Pro Transfers Builder merchant panel. The moment a customer checks out on Shopify, our cloud engine generates the calibrated 300 DPI file and streams it straight to your desktop sync folder. Point CADlink Digital Factory, Sawgrass, Ergosoft, Wasatch, AcroRIP, Flexi, or Maintop to that hot folder and your DTF or sublimation printer starts automatically.
How does the builder protect my shop from blurry, low-resolution files?
When a customer uploads an image, the builder immediately calculates its true print dimensions and resolution. If the artwork falls below 300 DPI, the customer sees an instant visual warning with resolution guidance before they can check out. They can also use our built-in 1-click upscaler to sharpen pixelated images or remove messy backgrounds on the spot.
Do my customers or shop staff need to email or manually transfer files?
No. Customers build and preview their DTF or sublimation gang sheets in their browser on your Shopify store. Once paid, the print-ready 300 DPI files sync directly to your local computer via Google Drive or Dropbox with exact dimensions, order number, and variant details in the file name.
Will it work with my Shopify theme, CAD/USD pricing, and bilingual storefronts?
Yes. Pro Transfers Builder integrates natively with Shopify Online Store 2.0 themes using an app block. Because checkout runs through Shopify's native cart, it supports Canadian Dollars (CAD), US Dollars (USD), and multi-currency pricing out of the box, plus 18 built-in storefront languages including English and French.
What does “free to install” mean?
There is no monthly subscription or self-install fee. Your first 10 builder orders each month are completely free, and orders after that have a 5% transaction fee strictly capped at $10 USD per order.
Can I try it before installing?
Yes. Open the live demo store to try the customer experience, upload artwork, and explore the builder before adding it to your own Shopify store.
