Why DTF

DTF removed every barrier. Here's what that means for you.

DTF vs DTG

Why DTF wins over DTG — every time

DTG (Direct to Garment) has been around for years, but DTF has rapidly overtaken it for most applications. Here's the honest, direct comparison:

Feature DTF Transfers We Offer DTG Printing
Application method Transfer film → heat press → any garment Inkjet head prints directly onto fabric surface
Fabric compatibility Cotton, poly, blends, synthetics, nylon — all of them Best on 100% cotton; struggles with polyester
Pre-treatment required None — press and go Yes — spray and press pre-treatment before printing
Colour on dark garments Fully vibrant — no underbase issues Often dull without white underbase, extra cost
Wash durability 50+ washes — no cracking or fading Variable — degrades faster without proper curing
Setup cost for short runs Zero — no plates, no screens, no setup fee Low but machine cost is high for in-house production
Technology maturity Newer — actively improving, now the preferred method Established but largely stagnant compared to DTF

Find a lower price? We'll beat it.

Send us any like-for-like UK quote and we'll match it — then go lower. Our pricing is competitive by design, not by accident.

Applications

What can you print on with DTF?

The short answer: almost everything fabric. DTF isn't fussy about colour, weave, or blend ratio — making it the most versatile garment decoration method available today.

👕

T-Shirts & Hoodies

Works on all weights, all blends, and all colours. Light garments, dark garments, heathered fabrics — all handle DTF equally well.

🏃

Sportswear & Activewear

Performance polyester and moisture-wicking fabrics that frustrate screen printers are no obstacle for DTF transfers.

🎒

Bags & Accessories

Tote bags, backpacks, caps, and beanies — DTF transfers bond to woven and non-woven materials reliably.

🦺

Workwear & Hi-Vis

Branded workwear needs to last. DTF transfers on hi-vis, soft-shell, and PPE garments hold their colour through heavy use and washing.

UV DTF — beyond fabric

Need branded hard goods? UV DTF printing uses a UV-cured process to apply scratch-resistant transfers to ceramics, glass, metal, and plastics. Contact us to discuss UV DTF options for your project.

Equipment

What you need to apply DTF transfers

If you're ordering from us, you only need a heat press. We handle everything else. For those running DTF in-house, here's the full equipment list:

🖨️

DTF Printer

Industrial-grade inkjet configured for PET film output. Only required if producing transfers in-house — not needed when ordering from us.

🌀

Powder Shaker

Applies hot-melt adhesive powder uniformly across wet ink before curing. Adhesion consistency depends heavily on this step.

♨️

Heat Press

Standard swing-arm or clamshell press. Apply consistent temperature and pressure for the rated time and you're done.

📄

PET Transfer Film

The substrate everything is printed onto. Film quality determines sharpness and peel performance — we use only premium film.
