Direct-to-film (also known as DTF) is exactly what it sounds like. We print your artwork on a special film that can be heat pressed on a wide range of fabrics including, cotton, nylon, treated leather, polyester, 50/50 blends, and more (light and dark fabrics).

Instructions:

  • For best results, we recommend using a heat press to apply DTF transfers
  • Prepress garment for 5-10 sec to remove moisture and wrinkles
  • Press at 300-320°F (for cotton or blends) or 260-270°F (for polyester) for 10-15 seconds
  • Peel the film in hot. Your design might feel slightly sticky and thick after being peeled, this is normal!
  • This is where the magic happens (and where you can experiment!) - once DTF transfers are peeled, re-press for 5-10 sec to lock in your apparel.
  • Use different materials, like Teflon or parchment, for different results.

Image Guidelines:

  • Ensure the original image is at least 300 dpi and in PNG, SVG, or PDF format.
  • Be cautious when enlarging a 300dpi image (e.g., from 3" to 9") and exporting it to prevent pixelation and quality issues.
  • Color shifts may occur when converting to CMYK for DTF printing.
  • Do not mirror your image, and opt for transparent or removed backgrounds unless you intend for the background to be printed.
  • For small fonts or thin lines, we recommend a minimum of 7.5px/0.25" to ensure proper ink and powder application.
  • Avoid using neon glow, gradients, and soft edges, as DTF printers may encounter difficulties in accurately reproducing these designs.
  • Keep in mind that we print exactly what we receive; our team does not fix spelling, placement, sizing, or image quality issues.

I had previously bought shirts from another place, the more I looked at them, the more unhappy I was. So I found Sunlight Graphics, and it was by far the best decision I made. The shirts are way more comfortable and the fact that they sent me what the shirts would look like before they were printed made all the difference. Plus, the cost was 3 times less than the other place. The shirts look great and I couldn't be happier. I will definitely recommend Sunlight Graphics to everyone.

We are so pleased with our new shirts and hoodies. They are made of very good quality and the printing, which was done in just a few days is outstanding. I would recommend Sunlight Graphics to anyone who wants custom apparel.
