When DTF Is The Right Call

DTF transfers print your art in full color onto a film, then heat-press it onto the garment. No screens to set up means a low 6-piece minimum and no extra charge for color count, so it shines on small, detailed orders.

Small Custom Runs

Need just a handful of shirts? DTF starts at just 6 pieces, so a small batch is no problem and still looks sharp.

Full-Color & Photo Designs

Gradients, fine detail, and photo-real artwork print cleanly with DTF, no color limits and no extra setup for every shade in your design.

Athletic & Performance Fabrics

DTF bonds to polyester, performance blends, and stretch jerseys, so it is a strong fit for sports and activewear that screen ink can fight.

Samples & Small Batches

Testing a design before a bigger run? DTF lets us run a small 6-piece batch without the screen setup that bulk methods require.

What Is DTF

Direct-To-Film, Explained

DTF stands for Direct-To-Film. We print your full-color artwork onto a special film, lay down an adhesive powder, cure it, then heat-press the transfer onto your garment. The result is a bright, detailed print that bonds right into the fabric.

Because there are no screens to coat and burn, DTF skips the setup that screen printing needs. That is why it has a low 6-piece minimum, no extra cost for adding colors, and why it can print fine detail and photo-style art that other methods cannot match.

  • No screens, no setup, just a 6-piece minimum
  • Full-color and photo detail with no per-color upcharge
  • Bonds to cotton, polyester, blends, and performance fabrics
  • Soft to the touch and built to survive regular washing

Questions

DTF Printing FAQ

DTF stands for Direct-To-Film. We print your full-color artwork onto a film, apply an adhesive powder, cure it, then heat-press the transfer onto your garment. It produces bright, detailed prints without the screens that traditional screen printing requires, which is why it works so well for small and full-color orders.

Our DTF minimum is just 6 pieces. You still skip the setup costs that come with screen printing, which makes it the go-to choice for samples and small custom runs where ordering two dozen pieces does not make sense.

It depends on your order. DTF is usually the better value for small runs and full-color or photo designs, since there are no screens to set up and no upcharge for extra colors. Screen printing tends to win on large bulk runs with a limited number of ink colors, where the per-shirt cost drops as quantity climbs. Tell us your design and quantity and we will point you to the right method.

DTF bonds to a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and cotton-poly blends, as well as performance and stretch materials used in athletic wear. That flexibility is one of its biggest strengths, since it prints cleanly on garments where some other methods can struggle.

When it is pressed and cured properly, a DTF print is soft to the touch and holds up well to regular washing, giving you long lasting prints. To get the most life out of it, we recommend washing inside out in cold water and avoiding high heat in the dryer, the same care that keeps any quality print looking its best.

Yes. Our shop is at 1510 N Main St in Meridian, minutes from I-84, so local pickup is easy from anywhere in the Treasure Valley. We can also arrange delivery or shipping if that works better for you.

Price depends on the size of your print, the garment you choose, and how many pieces you need. Because DTF has no screen setup and no per-color charge, full-color designs do not cost extra. Send us your details through the quote form and we will get you an exact number, no guessing.
