Direct-to-Film Transfers

Vibrant prints on any colour garment. Works on black, dark, and mixed fabrics.

What is DTF Printing?

Direct-to-Film transfers are printed onto a special PET film, then heat-pressed directly onto the garment. Unlike DTG, DTF works on any colour fabric — including black and dark garments — and adheres to cotton, polyester, nylon, and blends.

Ideal for bulk orders and garments where DTG ink absorption is inconsistent.
