FAQ
How is DTF different from other printing methods?
DTF prints detailed, full-colour artwork onto a special film before it is heat applied to a suitable garment. It works well for colourful logos, gradients and fine details.
Can you print white ink?
Yes. DTF printing uses white ink beneath the colour layer, helping artwork remain bright and visible on dark-coloured garments.
What fabrics can DTF be printed on?
DTF can be applied to many suitable cotton, polyester, blended, nylon and canvas products. We will check the garment before confirming the best printing method.
What is the minimum order quantity?
DTF printing can suit one-off customised items as well as larger orders. Send us the garment and quantity details so we can prepare the correct quotation.
How long does DTF printing last?
A professionally applied DTF print is durable and flexible. Following the recommended garment-care instructions helps protect the print and keep the colours looking their best.
How long does it take to complete an order?
Our usual production lead time is 10–14 working days. Timing can vary depending on garment availability, quantity, artwork requirements and current workload.
