What Is It?
What is DTF Printing and How Does It Work?
DTF stands for Direct to Film and it is one of the most versatile garment printing technologies available today. Your design is digitally printed onto a special PET film using high-quality inks, coated with a hot-melt adhesive powder, then heat-pressed directly onto your garment.
The result is a print that is incredibly vibrant, flexible, and built to last. Unlike traditional screen printing, there are no setup screens, no colour limitations, and you only need a minimum of 5 units. It is printing that actually makes sense for real businesses and real budgets.
At Pistol Clothing, we have invested in state-of-the-art equipment and premium inks to ensure every custom DTF print we produce is sharp, colourfast, and wash-resistant from day one. Whether you need cheap DTF printing for a small run or a large-volume order for your business, we have a solution that fits.
The Advantages
Benefits of DTF Printing in Sydney for Custom Apparel
We get asked a lot: why DTF over screen printing or DTG? Here is the honest answer.
DTF uses a digital CMYK process, meaning a 10-colour gradient, a photographic image, or a simple two-colour logo all cost the same. No screens, no colour separations, no surprises on your invoice.
Cotton, polyester, poly-cotton blends, nylon, denim, canvas. DTF transfers bond to them all, making it the go-to choice when printing across a mixed garment range.
The adhesive bond created during heat pressing is exceptionally strong. Your prints will not crack, peel, or fade with regular washing when cared for correctly.
No need to order 50 shirts just to make the numbers work. Small teams, startups, and events can all get professional results without the bulk commitment.
