How It Works

How DTF Printing Works

DTF — Direct to Film — is a modern transfer printing method that lets us reproduce full-colour designs with no colour limits and no screen setup. We print your artwork onto a special film, apply a hot-melt powder, and cure it into a ready-to-press transfer. That transfer is then heat-pressed directly onto your garment for a vibrant, durable finish. Because there are no screens involved, DTF is fast to set up and works well for small quantities, complex designs, gradients, and photorealistic artwork that would be costly or impractical to screen print.
