Our main print method: full-colour artwork printed onto film and heat pressed onto your garments, done in-house in Arundel.

Printer heat pressing a transfer onto a T-shirt

Our main print method

Full colour, on almost any fabric.

DTF, or direct to film, is how we print most of our garments. We print your artwork onto a special transfer film, apply an adhesive powder and cure it, then heat press the transfer onto the garment so it bonds with the fabric.

That gives you photo-quality colour and fine detail on cotton, polyester and blends, light or dark, with no screens to set up. It's ideal for team shirts, staff polos, hi-vis, hoodies, one-off gifts and everything in between.

Want a premium stitched logo instead? Our embroidery is done on Barudan and Tajima machines.

Questions

DTF printing questions, answered.

More on artwork, garments and delivery in our FAQ, or ask us directly.

What does DTF stand for?

Direct to film. Your design is printed onto a transfer film first, then heat pressed onto the garment.

Can you DTF print on polyester and hi-vis?

Yes. DTF works on polyester, cotton and most blends, which is why we use it for sports shirts and workwear as well as cotton tees.

Is DTF good for one-off shirts?

Yes. There are no screens to set up, so DTF suits single shirts and personalised gifts as well as team and staff orders.

How do I care for a DTF print?

Wash inside out and avoid ironing directly on the print to keep it bright and flexible.
