DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing

DTF prints your artwork onto a special film, applies a powder adhesive, cures it, then heat-presses the transfer onto the garment. The result: full-colour, gradient-tolerant, photo-friendly decoration with no minimum order.

The trade-offs - Wins on: small runs, photographic artwork, gradients, mixed garment colours in a single order. - Loses on: very large uniform rollouts (screen is cheaper per unit above ~150), garments with heavy texture where the transfer edge can lift.

Wash and wear Modern DTF transfers survive 40+ industrial washes when applied at the correct temperature and pressure. Cold wash and inside-out drying doubles that.

When to pick DTF over screen - Runs under 100 units. - Full-colour photographic or illustrated artwork. - Batch orders where each garment has a different name or number. - Multi-colour designs where screen setup fees would swamp the unit cost.
