The new DTPrep.com platform brings professional DTF halftone preparation to users of Affinity Designer, Canva, Procreate, and more via the web—no Photoshop required.
DTPrep, the popular artwork preparation tool known for eliminating white haze and simplifying DTF and DTG workflows, has officially launched a web-based version of DTPrep, making professional halftone preparation accessible to designers who do not use Adobe Photoshop.
Available now at DTPrep, the new platform allows users of Affinity Designer, Canva, Procreate, and other creative apps to prepare print-ready files using DTPrep’s proven halftone technology—without installing Photoshop or relying on complex manual techniques.
A Major Shift for DTF Artwork Preparation
Until now, achieving a clean halftone for DTF printing often required Photoshop-specific workflows or advanced technical knowledge. Designers using alternative tools were forced to use additional apps like Photoshop, outsource halftone creation, or risk common DTF issues such as semi-transparent pixels and white haze.
DTPrep’s web-based solution removes those barriers. Users can upload artwork from their preferred design app and apply optimized halftones designed specifically for DTF printing, ensuring sharp fades, smooth shadows, and haze-free output.
This expansion is particularly significant for designers seeking Affinity Designer halftone solutions or reliable Halftone Canva workflows—two areas where native tools have historically fallen short for DTF production.
Built for Modern Creators and Print Shops
DTPrep.com was designed with flexibility in mind. Whether a designer works in Affinity, Canva, Procreate, or another graphics platform, DTPrep enables professional-grade print prep without changing creative tools or learning new software ecosystems.
The platform converts problematic semi-transparent pixels into clean halftone dots, preventing adhesive powder from clinging to unintended areas during DTF printing. The result is sharper prints, reduced ink usage, and a softer final garment feel—without manual guesswork.
Importantly, existing users of the DTPrep Photoshop plug-in automatically gain access to the new web-based version, allowing seamless use across multiple workflows. Print shops and studios can now standardize their DTF preparation process regardless of which design software their team prefers.

By supporting Affinity Designer halftone workflows, simplifying Halftone Canva output, and enabling reliable results for Procreate users, DTPrep positions itself as a universal solution for modern apparel production.
