What is DTF printing?
DTF — Direct to Film — is the most innovative printing technique available today. Your design is first printed on a special film and then transferred directly to the garment using heat. The result? Ultra-precise prints, in infinite colors, on virtually any fabric.
At PrintPress, DTF is our secret weapon for complex designs, small runs and projects that require an exceptional level of detail — throughout Quebec and Canada.
The advantages of DTF
✅ Unlimited colors and details
Realistic photos, complex gradients, multicolor designs — DTF reproduces it all with impressive fidelity. No limit on the number of colors.
✅ Versatile on all fabrics
Cotton, polyester, blend, nylon — DTF adheres to almost any type of material, even those that resist other techniques.
✅ Accessible from small quantities
Unlike screen printing, DTF does not require expensive screen preparation. Ideal for orders from 12 units.
✅ Soft and comfortable touch
DTF transfer is thin and flexible — it hugs the fabric without stiffness, for comfortable wear even after dozens of washes.
✅ Fast delivery
No screens to prepare, no setup delays. Your DTF orders are ready quickly.
Limits to be aware of
- Design size: DTF is optimal for precise print areas — very large areas (full back) may be better suited to screen printing for large quantities.
- Price beyond large series: for thousands of identical units, screen printing can be more economical.
- Durability vs screen printing: very durable, but screen printing inks have slightly greater longevity over the very long term.
What clothes is DTF used on?
DTF shines on a wide variety of clothing:
- T-shirts — detailed photo designs, illustrations and logos
- Hoodies and sweatshirts — fine prints on chest and back
- Polos — precise company logo on the chest
- Long sleeves — designs along the entire sleeve
