How It Works

WHAT IS DIRECT TO FILM PRINTING?

Direct to film (DTF) printing is a method of printing your design onto a special film, then transferring that design to fabric using a heat press. Unlike traditional screen printing, DTF uses a CMYK process to produce full-color, photographic-quality prints with no color limitations on cotton, polyester, and blends.

  • Design printed onto special film
  • Coated with powdered adhesive
  • Baked in dryer to cure
  • Heat pressed onto garment
Why Choose DTF

THE ADVANTAGES OF DIRECT-TO-FILM

Direct to film printing opens up possibilities that traditional screen printing simply cannot match - especially for small runs and complex artwork.
