About these references
The aspect ratio card and quality control checklist were produced alongside the DALL·E 3 Prompting Guide for DTF Printing—extracted into standalone cards because they belong next to your workstation, not buried inside a 15,000-word document. The printer comparison worksheet is the structured evaluation framework from the DTF Printer Buyer's Survival Guide.
These are not lead magnets. There is no follow-up email, no drip sequence, no upsell on download. They are production references that should be useful whether you ever buy anything from Printing TLDR or not.
If you want the full guides behind these references, the DALL·E 3 guide and the DTF Printer Buyer's Survival Guide are in the Pro guides section.
