Automate Your DTF Gang Sheet Layout in Seconds

The Mugsie Gang Sheet Optimizer is a free Photoshop script designed for DTF transfer printing. Save 10–45 minutes per sheet, reduce material waste, and maximize production efficiency with one-click automation.

Why Use Mugsie Gang Sheet Optimizer?

  • Fast Automation: Arrange all layers in under 60 seconds without manual drag-and-drop.
  • High Material Efficiency: Achieve 85–95% DTF film usage with intelligent layout algorithms.
  • Standard 22" Gang Sheets: Optimized for most DTF printer workflows and heat press setups.
  • Custom Spacing: Adjust gaps from 0.3" to 0.5" to match your requirements.
  • Compatible: Works with Photoshop CS6 through 2024 on Windows and Mac.
  • Free Forever: No subscriptions, no per-use fees.

How It Works

  1. Install: Copy the .jsx file into Photoshop's Scripts folder.
  2. Prepare Document: Import your DTF designs as individual layers in a 22" wide Photoshop file.
  3. Run Script: Go to File → Scripts → Mugsie Gang Sheet Optimizer.
  4. Set Gap Spacing: Recommended 0.4", adjustable for your setup.
  5. Export & Print: Optimized gang sheet ready for DTF printing and heat press application.

Advanced Bin-Packing Algorithm

Our proprietary algorithm optimizes layer placement for height minimization and left-to-right packing. Designed specifically for DTF print shops, it ensures minimal material waste and consistent quality every time.

Perfect for Any DTF Operation

  • DTF Print Shop Owners – streamline daily gang sheet production.
  • Custom Apparel Businesses – handle higher order volumes efficiently.
  • Print-on-Demand Sellers – save time on each order batch.
  • Graphic Design Studios – speed up client deliveries for custom gang sheet orders.
  • Heat Press Operators – ensure consistent, optimized layouts.

Time & Cost Savings

Manual gang sheets can take 30–45 minutes each, costing around $15 per sheet at $30/hour labor. With the optimizer, you spend ~1 minute per sheet ($0.50 labor). Processing 20 sheets weekly = $290/week, $1,160/month, $13,920/year saved, plus 10–20% material savings.

"This script saves me over 20 hours every week. Absolute game changer for our DTF production workflow."
