Your full profit and loss DTF software, step by step

1. 1Press the tag button at the top of the Queue Manager.
2. 2Under Which machine, pick DTF roll.

The boxes for ink, film and powder open.

1. 1For cyan, magenta, yellow, black and white, type the bottle price.
2. 2Type the ml in the bottle.
3. 3Type a little extra for head cleaning, as a %.

The app already knows the ink drops your print head fires. You only type what you pay.

1. 1Type what a roll costs.
2. 2Type how long it is, in metres.
3. 3Type how much you lose between jobs, as a %.

1. 1Type what a bag costs, and what it weighs.
2. 2Type how many grams go on a square metre of print.

Not sure of the grams? Weigh a bag before and after a known length of print, then type it in.

1. 1Press + Add cost under Extras per job.
2. 2Type a name, like "Bag and label", and what it costs.

1. 1At the bottom of Cost settings, type your money sign in the Currency box. Here, $.
2. 2Under Your prices, type what you charge for one metre of film.
3. 3Press Save

Every price in the app now shows in your money, and every DTF job shows its profit.

Type the sign you work in: $, R, or any other. Every price shows it.

1. 1Open your design on the Design canvas.
2. 2In the Page box, pick a roll page, like 32 cm x 1 m.
3. 3Open the Repeat tab and press Fill the page

The page fills with as many copies as fit.

1. 1Open the Print pane. Pick your DTF printer.
2. 2Press Estimate cost

A quote lands in the Queue Manager. Nothing prints.

Estimate cost is in UPrint Design RIP.

1. 1Drag the top edge of the Queue Manager up, to see more rows.
2. 2Press + on a job to open its card.

The card shows each ink in ml, the film in metres and the powder in grams, and what each one cost. It is counted from every dot the job prints.

1. 1Press Save DTF job

The job goes to the folder your printer's software prints from, and the row says PRINTED with its profit.

1. 1Press the clock button to open Job history.
2. 2Type the job or the customer in the search box.
3. 3Press Add to queue

The job waits in the Queue Manager as HELD, even after you close the app. Press Print when the film is loaded.

1. 1Click the pencil beside the job's name.
2. 2Type the name and the customer, then save.

Type the customer once. The app remembers them, so all their jobs add up in one place.

Every DTF job sells for the metres of film it used, times your price per metre. Its profit sits beside it.

1. 1Pressing the shirts too? Click the job's price.
2. 2Type what you charge for the order, and what the blanks cost you.
3. 3Press Save

The profit follows: the price, less the print, less the blanks.

1. 1Off the press: click Pressed
2. 2Packed: click Packed
3. 3The customer has it: click Collected

Clicked too soon? Right-click the job and step back.

1. 1Right-click the job and pick Misprint...
2. 2Pick why, like White too thin.
3. 3Press Save

The ink, film and powder of that job count as waste, not a sale. Your profit stays true.

1. 1At the top of the Queue Manager, read what today's jobs sold, made and wasted.
2. 2Press Group by paper to put held jobs on the same printer and settings together.
3. 3Load the film once, and press Print this group

Search by job or customer, star the gang sheets you print again and again, and right-click to add a note.

1. 1Pick the dates, a customer, a printer or just the misprints. The totals follow.
2. 2Open a past job: Edit, Add to queue, Print again or Note.
3. 3Press Download CSV for your spreadsheet.

1. 1Open the Customers tab: your best customers first, with jobs, sales, profit and waste.
2. 2Open the Money tab: sales and profit per day, week or month, and where the waste went.

The Used tab shows the ink you used, colour by colour, in ml, the metres of film and the grams of powder.

1. 1When you fill an ink tank, pick the colour and type the ml.
2. 2Press I filled the DTF ink

Under a fifth left, the Queue Manager shows Low: and the colour.

It is a count from your jobs, not a reading from the printer.

1. 1In Job history, press Month report PDF
2. 2For a customer who pays later, pick the customer and press Statement PDF

The report is one page: jobs, sales, profit, waste, your best customers and what you used.

1. 1Press the mic, and say your costs, like you would to a person.
2. 2Press Send
3. 3Read what it found, and say yes to save it.

The assistant saves only when you say yes. A number you did not give stays empty: it does not guess.

1. 1Ask: "How much did I make today?"
2. 2Ask it to name a job, set the customer or mark a misprint.
3. 3Ask it to print your held jobs, then press its Print card.

It answers from the same numbers you see in the app. It never prints by itself.
