The method

What Is DTF Printing?

DTF, or direct-to-film printing, uses specialist film to carry a full-colour design onto suitable fabric. It can work well for detailed logos, illustrations and multi-colour artwork. Garment fabric, construction, artwork and print position all affect whether it is the right decoration method.

Applied to suitable garments

This service is positioned as garment decoration: the DTF print is applied to a suitable textile item as part of the printing job.

Preparing your design

Artwork Guidance

Send the clearest, highest-resolution version of your artwork that you have. Clean edges and a transparent background, where available, can make the review easier. Artwork quality, scale and detail can affect the available printing options.

If another version or an adjustment is needed, we’ll explain what would help after reviewing the job. You do not need to guess an accepted file format before asking for a quote.

Common questions

DTF Printing FAQs

Can DTF print full-colour artwork?

DTF can reproduce multi-colour logos, illustrations and detailed artwork. Final suitability depends on the artwork, garment and print position.

Which garments are suitable?

Many T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, tote bags and selected workwear garments may be suitable. Fabric, construction, seams and the intended print position all need to be considered.

Can I supply my own garments?

Tell us about the garments you intend to use before purchasing or sending anything. Whether an item can be used depends on its fabric and construction, and acceptance cannot be confirmed until the job has been reviewed.

What do you need for a quote?

Send the garment type, quantity, size breakdown, colours, artwork, required print dimensions and positions, and your target date.

Is DTF right for every job?

No single decoration method suits every garment or design. Another print or embroidery route may be more appropriate after the requirements are reviewed.
