DTF Printing Toronto
Vibrant full-colour transfers for t-shirts, hoodies, hats, bags, and more. No colour limits, no minimums on most blanks, and a soft hand feel that outlasts the garment.
What is DTF printing?
Direct-to-film (DTF) printing is a heat-transfer process that prints your artwork onto a special film, then bonds it to the garment with heat and pressure. Unlike screen printing, there are no screens or colour counts — so gradients, photos, and small text come out crisp every time.
It works on cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, and even hard-to-decorate fabrics. That makes DTF ideal for mixed-material orders, performance wear, bags, hats, and low-volume runs where setup costs would otherwise be too high.

What file format should I send for DTF printing?
Vector files (AI, PDF, SVG, EPS) at final print size are ideal. High-resolution PNG or JPG with a transparent background also work for photos and full-colour art.
Is there a minimum order for DTF printing?
Most blanks have no minimum. You can order a single DTF-printed garment or thousands. A few supplier-direct brands enforce small minimums, shown on the product page.
How long does DTF printing take?
Standard turnaround is 7 business days after artwork approval. Rush options of 5, 3, or 1 business day are available.
Can DTF print on hats and bags?
Yes. DTF works on a wide range of fabrics and items including cotton, polyester, nylon, blends, tote bags, and structured hats.
How does DTF compare to screen printing?
Screen printing is more cost-effective for large simple-colour runs. DTF is better for full-colour, photos, gradients, and small quantities because it has no screen setup.
