DTFForge: three clicks to a RIP-ready TIFF
A Photoshop plugin for preparing files for direct-to-film printing, with tools for background removal, film layout, and white-channel TIFF export.
- For
- DTF print shops using Photoshop
- Worth noticing
- Its white-channel export names the spot layer “Spot_1” and contracts it by 1 px before producing a layered TIFF.
Field notes
The page separates the work into file preparation, film layout, and white-channel export, each available as its own lifetime license. The layout module describes optional rotation, millimeter-adjustable margins and spacing, and estimates of film length and sheet count. The listed system requirements are Photoshop 2023 or newer on Windows or macOS; halftone and vectorization are labeled as forthcoming rather than available features.
