Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is a cutting-edge apparel decoration method that allows vibrant, full-color designs to be transferred onto garments with precision and durability.

Similar to an inkjet printer, DTF uses CMYK printing technology to create high-resolution images on a special clear film, which is then heat-pressed onto fabric.

-Works on various materials, including cotton, polyester, blends, and more.

-Soft, flexible prints that don’t crack or peel easily.

-Unlimited color options for gradients, photographic designs, and detailed artwork.

-DTF is the ideal print method for designs with multiple colors, gradients, or complex details. It’s perfect for:

-Full-color graphic tees

-Small-batch or single-run orders

-Photorealistic images and gradients

-On-demand apparel fulfillment

Because DTF printing does not require screens, it is cost-effective for low-quantity orders, making it a go-to solution for print-on-demand businesses.

Both DTF and screen printing have their advantages, depending on your project’s needs.

For bulk orders with simple designs, screen printing is the more cost-effective option.

For vibrant, full-color artwork, DTF printing is the superior choice—especially for print-on-demand businesses.
