What is DTF printing?

DTF stands for direct-to-film. Your design is printed in full color onto a special film, coated with an adhesive powder, and then heat pressed onto the garment. The transfer bonds to the fabric and gives you a flexible, colorful print.

Why choose DTF

  • Full-color artwork, including gradients, shadows, and fine detail
  • No separate screen for every color, so many-color designs are practical
  • A good fit for small runs and one-off pieces
  • Works on a wide range of fabrics, including many blends

DTF vs. screen printing vs. embroidery

There is no single best method. Embroidery gives a premium stitched look for logos. Screen printing is a strong value for larger orders of simple, bold designs. DTF is the one to reach for when your design has lots of color or detail, or when you need only a few pieces.

Ask a question
What artwork do I need for DTF?

High-resolution PNG, PDF, or vector files work best. If you only have a small or blurry image, send it anyway and we will tell you what can be done.

Is DTF good for small orders?

Yes. Because it does not need a separate screen for each color, DTF is practical for small quantities and designs with lots of color.

How long does a DTF print last?

A properly applied transfer is made to hold up through regular washing. Follow the care instructions we give you, such as washing inside out, to get the longest life.
