Direct To Film (DTF)

Direct‑to‑Film (DTF)

DTF prints the design onto a film, adds adhesive powder, then heat‑presses it onto the garment. The print sits on top of the fabric.

Best For

• Hoodies, fleece, polyester, and blends

• Bold, vibrant colors

• High‑durability designs

Key Difference

• More versatile across fabrics

• Slightly more “on‑top” feel

• Can chip over time because it’s a surface layer

Direct‑to‑Garment (DTG)

DTG prints directly into the fabric using water‑based inks. The result is a soft, breathable print that feels like part of the shirt.

Best For

• 100% cotton tees

• Premium, soft‑touch prints

• Photo‑realistic or detailed artwork

Why We Use It

• Softer feel

• Long‑lasting prints

• Natural, breathable finish
