Direct-to-Film (DTF) Printing

Vibrant, durable transfers for almost any fabric

DTF printing gives you full-colour, photo-quality designs that apply cleanly to cotton, polyester, blends and more — with no minimum order.

Why DTF

Sharp detail, soft feel, no minimums

Direct-to-Film transfers print your design onto a special film, then heat-apply it directly to the garment — capturing fine detail and gradients that other methods struggle with.
