Founding Members • First Mover Advantage • Launch Special

Never get stuck waiting on someone else's printer again.

For a limited time, shops that tap in now get up to  three months free , locked-in square-inch pricing, and guaranteed press time every month. No more begging for rush jobs, no more "our queue is closed," no more hoping your order even gets started.

  • Lock in your own  UV-DTF production capacity  before memberships close.
  • Up to  22,000 sq in per month  allocated under your name.
  • Overage as low as  $0.029 per sq in  on Titan League.
  •  1 free UPS Ground shipment per month  on Elite & Titan.
  •  Priority support  for active members as needed.
  • Optional rollover add-on: keep up to  20% unused credits  for just $10/month.
Once enrollment closes, new members move to standard pricing and the waitlist. If you're planning for a heavy 2026, this is the safest time to secure guaranteed production.
Membership availability

Each membership tier has a limited number of available spots to protect consistent turnaround times and monthly capacity for every member. When a tier reaches capacity, enrollment closes until the next cycle.

Founding members secure their annual pricing, guaranteed square-inch allocation, and continued priority access as long as their membership remains active.

Why serious shops choose Windy City DTF

This isn't hobby equipment in a spare room. Windy City DTF runs on commercial UV-DTF production, clear scheduling, and real communication so your brand doesn't get embarrassed by missed deadlines or inconsistent print quality.

Capacity you can rely on

If you've ever had a shop tell you they're "not taking orders right now" right when you need them, you know the cost of unreliable production. Membership gives you dedicated square-inch capacity every month that's already reserved for your business.

Print quality that represents you

Clean detail, consistent color, and pro finishing on UV-DTF so you're not reprinting jobs or explaining why a "brand new" design already looks off. Your customers only see the final product—we make sure it looks the way you promised.

Straightforward updates, not guessing

You're running a business, not chasing tracking numbers. Members get clear expectations, communication, and structure—not random turnaround times, vague answers, or unanswered messages when timelines get tight.

Selected clients & project work

How your membership works

No confusion, no surprises. You get guaranteed production capacity every month and a predictable workflow that keeps your customers happy and your shop ahead of schedule.

1

Choose your membership tier

Pick Pro, Elite, or Titan based on how much UV-DTF work your shop runs monthly. Your square-inch credits reset each month, and you can add optional rollover if you want extra flexibility.

2

Upload art and submit jobs

Send your print-ready files any time. Your jobs pull from your monthly credit bank automatically, and overage is billed at your member rate if you exceed your monthly allocation.

3

We print, finish, and ship

Your prints run in the member queue with consistent handling and finishing quality every time. Elite & Titan members get one free UPS Ground shipment each month.

Membership FAQ

A quick overview of how the Windy City DTF membership works. If you don't see your question here, you can always reach out before you join.

How does the monthly credit bank work?

Your membership includes a set number of square inches each month (for example, 2,500 sq in on Pro League). As jobs are produced, we deduct the used square inches from your credit bank. If you go over, additional inches are billed at your tier's member overage rate.

What happens if I don't use all my credits in a month?

By default, unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle. If you add the rollover option, up to 20% of your unused credits can carry over to the next month for a small monthly fee. This helps if your volume fluctuates during the year.

How do shipping costs work for members?

Standard shipping is billed per order at our current rates. Elite and Titan members also receive one free UPS Ground shipment per month, which is applied to the qualifying order of your choice during that billing cycle.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my membership tier?

Yes. You can request a change in tier before your next billing cycle. Upgrades typically take effect on the next billing date, and any changes to included credits and pricing will be confirmed in writing so you always know what to expect.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

Founding member pricing is designed for shops that plan to use UV-DTF regularly throughout the year. Memberships are billed monthly or annually depending on the plan you choose. If we ever introduce minimum terms or setup fees, those details will be clearly stated before you check out.

What kind of artwork files do you accept?

We recommend print-ready PNG, PSD, AI, or PDF files at 300 DPI with transparent backgrounds where needed. If you have questions about file setup for a specific project, you can send us a sample file before joining to make sure everything is compatible.

Is this membership a good fit for my shop?

This model works best for shops and brands that order UV-DTF regularly and want predictable costs, priority access, and a dedicated production partner. If you only need an occasional sheet, our standard non-member ordering options may be a better fit.
