Print shop software and services · Dallas, TX
We print 80,000 inches a day. This is the software that does it.
We could not buy tools that kept up with our own DTF shop, so we wrote them. Now any print shop can run the same four, from the customer's upload to a print-ready sheet at the press.
Real DTF Center designs, the kind these tools nest, check and send to press every day
Four tools, one order
Pick the place your orders go wrong.
Use one, or run all four. Each hands off to the next.
Order in. Shipped out. One system runs the floor.
Not just prepress. It follows every order until it leaves your shop.
You keep your RIP, your printer and your people. The file handling goes away.
It picks up orders, checks the artwork, names the files, nests them on the roll and drops them in your RIP's hotfolder. You keep your own RIP and printer. Built for Shopify shops running 25+ orders a day.

Fair questions
Why would a printer sell its tools?
You are a DTF printer. Why sell to other shops?
The software is a separate business, built and supported by our software company, Neural Matrix. We use it every day. If it breaks, our own orders stop, so it gets fixed.
Can DTF Center see my orders or customers?
Each store's records are isolated from every other store's. Your customer and order data is never shared with our print business.
Do I have to change my RIP or printer?
No. DTF Automation delivers files to the hotfolder of the RIP you already run. Nothing is installed on the RIP PC.
Do I need Shopify?
For the three software products, yes. Gang Sheet PRO and Upload PRO are Shopify apps, and DTF Automation requires a Shopify store. ICC profiles work for any shop.
See it run on a real production floor.
Book 15 minutes. We show you an order going from checkout to the press, and tell you which tools fit your volume.
