Decoration service
DTF printing.
Direct-to-film gives you full color, crisp edges, and dependable results across a wide range of garment fabrics.
The process
How DTF works.
We prep your file, print it to film, apply and cure adhesive powder, then heat-press it to the garment. A final press improves finish and durability.
Limitations
- The print has a thin transfer-layer feel
- Very large solid areas can feel heavier and less breathable
- Placement is limited by press size, seams, and zippers
- High heat and harsh wash cycles should be avoided
Best for
- ApparelShirts, hoodies, hats, and jerseys depending on paneling
- ArtworkFull-color logos, photo-style graphics, and short-run drops
- OrdersSmall batches, mixed sizes, and quick reprints
