DTF Transfers

Full-Color DTF Transfers, Printed In-House

Photo-quality direct-to-film transfers with no minimums. Print loose for press-yourself customers, or we apply them for you.

What It Is

The Method

DTF (direct-to-film) prints your artwork onto a special film with CMYK + white ink, coats it with adhesive powder, and cures it, producing a finished transfer that heat presses onto almost any fabric. It's the most flexible decoration method we offer: no screens, no color charges, no minimums, and full photographic detail. Ideal for small runs, and complex artwork, full color art, fulfillment programs, and anything screen printing can't economically reach.

Why North Ink

Every Step Under Our Roof

In-house production means we own the schedule, the quality, and the result.

In-House DTF Printer & Cure Line

Printing, powder, and curing all happen on our floor. No middleman, no shipping a film between vendors.

Photo Quality, Full Color

Complex artwork, gradients, fine detail, DTF prints what screen printing can't print.

Low Quantity 

We can print as low as 2 3 prints 

Soft Hand, Durable Wash

Properly cured DTF lays flat, stretches with the garment, and survives the laundry cycle after cycle.

Fast Turnaround

Because the whole process is in-house, we can turn transfers around quickly, including pressed-on-garment orders.

Works on Almost Anything

Cotton, poly, blends, performance fabrics, darks, lights, hats, bags, DTF adheres where other methods struggle.
