What is Full Color Digital Transfer or DTF?

Full Color Digital Transfer is an  alternative to screen print and DTG for low runs.  We use a method called DTF which stands for Digital Transfer Film.  It is still vivid in color like screen print but does not require a full screen setup and it rated for 50 to 100 washings without change.

How does DTF Work?

A design is printed with a CMYK-W direct to film ink.  Then, it is run through a powder shaker which essentially is putting the powdered glue on the back side.  Afterwards, a heat press is used to trasnfer the film onto the garment or substrate.   

what are the pros of DTF?

Direct to film looks like screen print, but it is very vidid in color and easier to run a small volume.  A commercial level DTF printer, like those used at The Tee Spot, are rated for 50 to 100 washings with no change.  DTF is a great option for low quantity runs where DTG or Screen Print are not suitable for printing certain details such as name/number blocks on jerseys.

what are the cons of DTF?

The artwork takes time to get setup and production ready, but not as long as screen print.  The ink and film are more expensive than screen ink.  Some larger, bulky designs may need to be "rasterized" so that small lines can be created through the transfer allowing water to flow when washing.
