Creating custom clothes has never been more accessible or fun. Direct-to-film (DTF) transfers are growing in popularity with t-shirt printers, hobbyists, and small businesses. Why? Because you get bright, sharp prints on everything from cotton and polyester to blends and even some unusual fabrics. It’s easy to learn, suitable for all skill levels, and ideal for low-volume runs. Here’s everything you need to know to get started.

Is screen printing becoming less and less of an industry standard? Many custom clothing companies are reconsidering their production options in light of the growing popularity of Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing. With less setup, fewer restrictions, and quicker turnaround times, DTF promises excellent results. That is revolutionary for small businesses and on-demand producers.

The world of printing is always evolving, printing methods have been improving and increasing with time. Two printing methods that stand out are UV and solvent printing. Each one is useful in different ways. To choose the right printing method, it is very important to understand the workings of both methods, their various applications, what challenges you might face, and what benefits you will get.

Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing isn’t just for T-shirts anymore. It’s become a go-to method for slapping bold, long-lasting graphics onto all kinds of hard and semi-rigid items.
