What Is Direct To Film (DTF) Printing?
Direct To Film printing is a modern garment decoration technique that transfers full-colour designs onto fabric using a specialist film and heat-press process. Unlike screen printing, there are no screens to prepare and no colour separation charges - making it ideal for detailed logos, photographic artwork, and designs with multiple colours or gradients. Unlike sublimation, DTF works across a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, blends, and even darker garments.
The result is a vibrant, wash-resistant print with a soft finish that holds its quality through repeated laundering - exactly what Middlesbrough's trades, sports clubs, and hospitality businesses need from workwear and uniforms that take daily wear.
How DTF Differs From Other Print Methods
- vs. Screen Printing: No setup costs or minimum colour runs - ideal for short runs and complex artwork
- vs. Embroidery: Full-colour photographic detail that embroidery simply cannot replicate
- vs. DTG (Direct To Garment): DTF transfers can be applied to a wider variety of fabrics and garment types
- vs. Sublimation: Works on cotton and dark-coloured garments, not just light polyester
