01

Unlimited color

Full-color artwork, photos, and gradients print in a single pass. No per-color screens or setup, so complex designs cost no more to produce than simple ones.

02

Fabric flexibility

Unlike DTG, DTF isn't limited to cotton. It bonds to polyester, blends, nylon, and performance fabrics, on both light and dark garments.

03

Soft, durable finish

Transfers stay flexible and stretch with the garment, holding up to repeated washes without cracking or fading when cared for properly.

04

Built for detail

Fine lines, small text, and intricate artwork come through crisp. Ideal for multi-location prints, sleeve hits, and designs that don't suit screen printing.

What's the difference between DTF and screen printing?

Screen printing uses a separate screen for each color, which makes it most efficient for simpler designs at higher volumes. DTF prints every color at once, so it's the better fit for full-color artwork, photos, gradients, and fabrics that are hard to screen print. Not sure which is right? We'll recommend the best method for your design.

What file format should my artwork be in?

High-resolution PNG files with a transparent background work best, ideally 300 DPI at print size. Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) are great too. If your art needs cleanup, our team can help.

Can you print on garments I supply?

Yes. We can press on your blanks or source garments for you from our catalog of 950K+ products. Ask us about fabric compatibility for anything specialty.

How do I care for DTF printed apparel?

Wash inside out in cold water and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid ironing directly on the print. Following these steps keeps transfers looking sharp wash after wash.
