DTF Printing in Chesterfield

High-Quality Full-Colour Garment Printing

Direct to Film printing, commonly known as DTF printing, is a modern garment printing method that produces bright, detailed and durable full-colour designs.

At Not Just T-Shirts in Chesterfield, we provide professional DTF printing on a wide range of clothing, including T-shirts, hoodies, polo shirts, sweatshirts, workwear and sportswear.

Whether you require a single personalised garment or a larger order for your business, school, club, team or event, we will help you choose the most suitable garment and printing method.

What Is DTF Printing?

DTF printing involves printing your design onto a specialist transfer film. The printed design is then applied to the garment using a professional heat press.

This process creates a flexible and durable full-colour print that works well on both light and dark garments.

DTF printing is particularly suitable for detailed logos, photographs, gradients, small text and designs containing several colours.

Why Choose DTF Printing?

Bright, Vibrant Colours
DTF printing produces bold colours and sharp detail, making it ideal for colourful logos, photographic designs and complex artwork.

Suitable for Many Garments
DTF transfers can be applied to many cotton, polyester and polycotton garments, including T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, workwear and sportswear.

Ideal for Small Orders
DTF printing does not require the same lengthy setup process as traditional screen printing, making it a cost-effective option for one-off garments and smaller quantities.

Excellent Detail
Fine lines, gradients, shading, small lettering and multi-coloured designs can be reproduced clearly and accurately.

Durable and Comfortable
When applied and cared for correctly, DTF prints provide a flexible, comfortable and durable finish suitable for regular wear.

What Artwork Do I Need?

One of the advantages of DTF printing is that vector artwork is not always required.

A high-quality PNG file with a transparent background is often suitable for printing.

For the best result, your artwork should be clear, sharp and supplied at the required print size. We recommend artwork at approximately 300dpi wherever possible.

Images copied from websites, screenshots and low-resolution logos may appear blurred or pixelated when enlarged.

If your artwork is not suitable for printing, we can often tidy it up or redraw it for a small additional charge.

We will provide a digital artwork mock-up for approval before production begins.

Is DTF Printing Right for My Order?

DTF printing is an excellent choice for designs containing several colours, photographs, gradients, shading or fine detail.

It is commonly used for business workwear, club clothing, teamwear, school leavers' hoodies, events, stag and hen clothing, promotional garments and personalised gifts.

Embroidery may be more suitable if you require a premium stitched finish, particularly for left-chest logos on polo shirts, jackets and workwear.

Our experienced team will recommend the most suitable decoration method based on your garment, artwork, quantity and budget.
