Direct-to-Film Custom Apparel Printing

Custom DTF Printing in Toronto

Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is one of the newest and most versatile apparel printing technologies available today. This method allows full-colour designs to be printed onto a special transfer film and then heat-pressed onto garments.

At Hardboiled Inc., we offer DTF printing in Toronto for businesses, teams, and brands looking for vibrant prints that work on a wide variety of fabrics.

DTF printing is ideal for:

  • polyester garments
  • performance fabrics
  • dark garments
  • detailed multi-colour artwork
  • small to medium production runs

How DTF Printing Works:

The DTF process involves several steps:

  1. Printing the design onto transfer film
  2. Applying adhesive powder
  3. Heat curing the transfer
  4. Heat pressing the design onto the garment

 

The result is a durable print that works on many types of fabrics.

Benefits of DTF Printing

Works on Many Fabrics

Unlike DTG, DTF can print on:

  • cotton
  • polyester
  • blends
  • nylon
  • performance fabrics

Vibrant Colours

DTF prints sit on top of the garment, producing bold colours that work especially well on dark garments.

Great for Logos & Multi-Colour Designs

DTF printing handles detailed artwork and multi-colour logos without requiring screen setup.

Flexible Order Sizes

DTF printing works well for orders as small as 6 pieces.

Best Garments for DTF Printing

DTF works well on garments that are difficult to print using other methods.

Popular items include:

  • athletic shirts
  • team jerseys
  • hoodies
  • tote bags
  • workwear

  • team uniforms
  • corporate apparel

It’s also ideal when printing on polyester or synthetic fabrics, which can be difficult with other printing methods.
