DTF Printing in Wausau, WI

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.
