Built by a printer, for printers
Hey, I'm Adam.
I've owned a print shop for 16 years. Screen printing, embroidery, DTG — I've run every decoration method and used every piece of software this industry has to offer. When DTF came along in 2020, I saw the future of printing and started to shift focus on the new industry. A few years later I sold off our automated screen printing equipment and went all-in on DTF.
One thing I noticed: DTF is still so new that there's no real end-to-end solution. Especially for the smaller shops like mine. I was a developer before I ever touched a t-shirt, so I started building the tool I wished existed — something robust enough for a 50K/month shop but simple enough that a first-time DTF business can be up and running in an afternoon.
That's PressOS. Sixteen years of running a print shop, condensed into software.
Why a transaction fee instead of a subscription?
Because I've been there. You have a killer couple of months, bills are paid ahead of time, then the slow season hits and that $400/month software bill hurts — or worse, it gets in the way of the actual job: making sales and printing shirts. I didn't want PressOS to be another bill hanging over your head. On the Free plan, you pay nothing until you make money. We win when you win. That's it.
A percentage model also means we never need to raise prices on you. No surprise rate hikes year after year. PressOS scales with your business naturally — when you grow, we grow. When things are slow, we feel it too. That alignment is by design.
PressOS isn't a faceless corporation. It's me, a printer who's been through everything you have or will — and I'm building this alongside you. Got questions, ideas, or just want to talk shop? Reach me directly at adam@pressos.com. In the meantime, sign up so I know you're interested. 😊
Stop paying for 10 tools
that don't talk to each other
Most DTF shops cobble together hundreds — sometimes thousands — of dollars in monthly subscriptions, and nothing connects. PressOS replaces all of it with a single transaction fee. No monthly bill.

Gang sheets that build themselves.
Actually — zero clicks needed.
When you use mockup data to make the sale, PressOS already knows the SKU, color, sizes, print sizes, amounts, and locations. The gang sheet generates autonomously on payment. No click needed. No matter how complicated the quote — one order or fifty — your gang sheets are print-ready before you even open the app.
For manual jobs, a single click is all it takes. Auto-arrangement algorithm packs your transfers to maximize film coverage and minimize waste. Custom sheet sizes match your exact printer specs. Multi-order batching. RIP-ready export.

PressOS supports DTF and UV DTF. We do not support screen printing, embroidery, or any other decoration method. While parts of the platform could be used for other workflows, PressOS was made with only DTF in mind — so we can stay focused on building the best tools for the DTF industry.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know.
How does pricing work?
The Free plan gives you every feature — including your own custom domain — with zero monthly cost. Just a 5% fee automatically deducted from each card transaction. No sales? No cost. Pro is $149/mo and lowers the fee to 3%, saving you 2% on every sale. Pro also adds unlimited team members, white-label branding, priority rendering, offline payment tracking, and net terms. Pro is designed for shops that are scaling and want the lower transaction rate to pay for itself.
What if I have a slow month with no orders?
You pay nothing. The transaction fee is only charged when you make a sale through the platform. No sales = $0. Our success is tied to yours.
Do I need a SanMar account?
No. PressOS has its own SanMar product database with 4,000+ products, calibrated images, and live inventory. A SanMar account lets you see wholesale pricing and place blanks orders directly, but it's not required to use the catalog.
Do I get my own website?
Yes. Every shop gets a full storefront with e-commerce, a drag-and-drop site builder (17 section types), product catalog, cart, checkout, discount codes, customer accounts, and more. Use yourbrand.pressos.com or connect your own domain — both included on the Free plan.
Can customers customize products on my site?
Yes. Customers can place their artwork on 4,000+ products, pick colors, sizes, and print locations, see live decoration pricing, and add to cart — all in the browser. They can also build their own gang sheets with a full drag-and-drop builder.
What about quotes that need customer approval?
Build a quote with mockups, import all print sizes, colors, and quantities with a single click. Send for approval. Customer reviews and approves in their portal. One-click convert to invoice with a payment portal — customer pays whenever they're ready, day or night.
How do gang sheets build themselves?
When you use mockup data to make the sale, PressOS already has all the data — SKU, color, sizes, print dimensions, quantities, locations. On payment, the gang sheet generates autonomously. No click needed. For manual jobs, one click does it.
What integrations are supported?
Square, Stripe, SanMar, Shippo, and TaxJar. Collect payments, pull catalog data, print shipping labels, and auto-calculate tax. Use all or none — PressOS works either way.
What payment methods can my customers use?
Free plan: Square or Stripe card payments — fee is auto-deducted from each sale. Pro ($149/mo) adds offline payment tracking — cash, check, bank transfer — and Net 15/30/60 terms with custom deposit amounts for bigger jobs.
What if my printer breaks?
PressOS has a remote printing network. Connect with another DTF printer on the platform and send gang sheets to their printer while yours is down. Keep orders flowing and on time.
Is this for screen printing or embroidery too?
No. PressOS is built exclusively for DTF and UV DTF. We don't support screen printing, embroidery, or other decoration methods. Staying focused on DTF is what lets us build the best tools in the industry.
What is the site builder?
A visual drag-and-drop page editor for your storefront. 17 purpose-built sections — hero banners, product grids, testimonials, galleries, CTAs, and more. Set your brand colors, upload your logo, create custom pages, and publish. One-click color changes, light and dark modes. No code, no designer, no Shopify.
