DTF printing: Durable, vibrant, and eco-responsible

DTF (Direct to Film) printing is the future of garment decoration. It offers unmatched versatility, colour accuracy, and durability. At sellshirts, we’ve embraced DTF not only for its creative freedom, but also for its vibrant colours and amazing washability.

What is DTF printing?

DTF is a modern textile printing method where designs are printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder, and then heat transferred onto garments. It allows for high-resolution, full-colour prints on a wide variety of fabrics, such as cotton, polyester, blends, and performancewear, which are difficult to print using other printing techniques.

Why we choose DTF?

• No limitations on colour

  DTF delivers ultra-vibrant prints with no colour restrictions. It can even produce complex gradients and photographic detail are reproduced with ease.

• Incredible durability

  DTF prints are built to last. They withstand repeated washing without cracking, fading, or peeling.

• Versatile fabric compatibility

  Unlike some traditional methods, DTF works across almost any material; light or dark, natural or synthetic. Prints look amazing on sports garments.

• Low minimums, high customisation

  Perfect for custom apparel, small runs, or frequent design changes. Great for dropshipping and print-on-demand sellers.

• Faster turnaround

  With minimal setup time, DTF is a great match for our fast production system and keeps up with our on-demand workflows.
