DTF Printing Frequently Asked Questions
A: The main difference between DTF (Direct to Film) and DTG (Direct to Garment) printing is the application method and fabric versatility. DTG prints ink directly onto the fabric, which works best on 100% cotton. DTF prints the design onto a specialised film first, which is then heat-transferred onto the clothing. This allows DTF printing to work flawlessly on almost any material, including polyester, nylon, and dark fabrics, while offering brighter colours and superior durability.
A: No, at Tees Please we offer custom DTF printing with no minimum order quantities. Whether you need a single personalised t-shirt for a gift, a small batch for a local event, or a bulk commercial apparel order for your business merchandise, we accommodate jobs of all sizes with fast turnaround times.
A: To maximise the lifespan of your custom DTF prints, we recommend washing the garments inside out in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh bleaches or fabric softeners. For drying, line drying in the shade is best, but you can tumble dry on a low-heat setting. If ironing is required, always iron the garment inside out and never apply direct heat to the printed design.
A: Yes! One of the biggest advantages of DTF technology is its incredible fabric versatility. Unlike traditional printing methods that struggle with synthetic materials, DTF transfers bond perfectly to 100% polyester, sportswear, performance fabrics, nylon, and cotton-poly blends without any colour bleeding or cracking.
