Direct to Film - DTF

Unlimited Possibilities For Your Brand

What are Direct Transfers

DTF is a great way to get super vibrant, full-colour designs with amazing detail. It’s perfect for smaller orders or designs with lots of colours and fine details. Plus, the prints feel soft and hold up great over time.

The process involves your design being printed on a special film, and then applied to the garment using an industrial heat press to ensure suitable heat and pressure. The result? Bright, durable prints with a soft feel that last wash after wash.

No screens, no limitations on colour, and no hassle with small orders.

Why choose DTF?
Full-colour, high-resolution designs
Perfect for small runs and complex artwork
Soft feel and excellent durability
Works on cotton, polyester, blends, and more

DTF is a great option when screen printing isn’t practical — whether you need a few custom shirts, detailed artwork, or bold prints that really stand out.

Art Requirements

DTF printing captures incredible detail, making it ideal for photo-realistic images, gradients, and full-colour designs. But great results start with great artwork — image quality matters!

Here’s what to consider when submitting artwork for DTF:
✔ High-resolution files — 300 DPI recommended
✔ PNG files with a transparent background work best
✔ Convert text to outlines if submitting vector files
✔ Avoid low-quality, pixelated images
✔ Double-check spelling and details — your design prints exactly as submitted
✔ Make sure your line weights are at least 2 px (0.5 mm)

The better the artwork, the better your finished product will look!

Minimums

Excellent work, friendly to work with, our shirts were printed in just over a week during a busy time of year. Couldn't be happier with the service!

Andrea O'Meara

We ordered 1500 printed t-shirts from Fireproof Apparel and from start to finish Greg was amazing! The shirts were excellent quality, the designs were custom, and the customer service was perfect. We required a quick turn around on our order and it was met without an issue. I would highly recommend using this company. Andrea O'Meara - Kitchen Craft
