We reserve the right to refuse any order at our discretion.
3. Ordering & Payment
3.1 Quotes
All quotes provided via our website quote form, email, or phone are valid for 14 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. Prices are subject to change without notice after that period.
3.2 Order Confirmation
An order is confirmed when you receive written confirmation from us (via email) and payment has been received or a purchase order has been accepted for trade account holders. Production does not commence until order confirmation and payment (or approved trade terms) are in place.
3.3 Pricing & GST
All prices displayed on inkfusiondtf.com.au and in quotes are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and include 10% GST. Your tax invoice will show GST as a separate line item for your accounting records. Registered businesses can claim GST back through their BAS.

- Approved trade account holders: Payment terms are as agreed in writing at account setup (typically 7 or 14 days from invoice date).
- We accept payment via credit/debit card, bank transfer (EFT), and other methods displayed at checkout.
3.5 Cancellations
Orders may be cancelled before production commences. Once production has started, cancellations are not accepted and no refund will be issued. To cancel an order, contact us immediately at info@inkfusiondtf.com.au.
4. Artwork & Files
4.1 File Requirements
You are responsible for supplying print-ready artwork that meets our file requirements. Our recommended specifications are:
- Minimum resolution: 300 DPI at print size (150 DPI minimum accepted)
- Accepted formats: PNG (preferred), PDF, AI, EPS, PSD
- Transparent background (PNG) for DTF transfers
- CMYK or RGB colour mode
Full artwork guidelines are available at our Artwork Guidelines page.
4.2 Artwork Check
We perform a complimentary artwork check on every file before production. If we identify issues that may affect print quality, we will contact you before proceeding. However, this check is provided as a courtesy and does not guarantee that all potential issues will be identified. Final responsibility for artwork quality rests with the customer.
4.3 Colour Accuracy
DTF printing uses a CMYK ink process. Colours on screen (RGB) will vary from printed output. We do not guarantee exact colour matching unless a Pantone-approximate colour match service has been specifically arranged in writing (available for trade orders). We recommend requesting a test print for colour-critical work before placing a large order.
4.4 Approval
By submitting artwork and confirming an order, you confirm that the artwork is approved for production. Any changes requested after production has commenced may incur additional charges or cannot be accommodated.
5. Turnaround & Delivery
5.1 Turnaround Times
Our standard turnaround is 2โ3 business days from the date production commences (i.e., from the day your order is confirmed, artwork is approved, and payment is received). Express and rush options may be available โ contact us to confirm availability.
Turnaround times are estimates and not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to courier delays, equipment failure, or supply shortages.
5.2 Shipping
Shipping costs are calculated based on order weight and delivery location and are displayed at checkout. We dispatch via tracked courier services Australia-wide. Once your order has been dispatched, a tracking number will be emailed to you.
We are not liable for loss or damage caused by the courier after dispatch. If your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 48 hours with photographs and we will work with you to resolve the issue.
5.3 Risk of Loss
Risk of loss or damage to goods passes to you upon handover to the courier / dispatch from our facility.
6. Quality & Reprints
We take pride in our print quality. If your order contains a verified print defect โ meaning the finished product differs materially from a correctly supplied, print-ready file due to an error on our part โ we will reprint the affected items at no charge.
Quality reprints are subject to:
- A claim being submitted within 7 days of delivery
- Photographic evidence of the defect being provided
- The original artwork file being re-supplied if required
We do not reprint orders where the issue arises from low-resolution artwork, incorrect colours in the supplied file, customer-approved proofs, or normal variation inherent to the DTF printing process.
7. Returns & Refunds
Because all orders are custom-produced to your specifications, we do not accept returns or offer refunds for change of mind. Refunds or reprints are only provided where we have made a verified production error (see Section 6).
Nothing in these terms excludes any rights or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) where those rights cannot be excluded by law.
8. Intellectual Property
