Full-color, photo-quality prints with no per-color setup and a minimum of just 4 pieces. When screen printing’s 24-shirt minimum or color count doesn’t fit the job, DTF is the answer. Family-owned in Shasta County since 1989.
DTF stands for direct-to-film. We print your design — every color at once — onto a special film, then heat-press it right onto your garment. Because nothing gets separated into individual screens, there’s no per-color setup and no ceiling on how many colors you can use. That’s what makes it the easy choice for full-color logos, gradients, and even photographs.
Its real superpowers are three: a low minimum of just 4 pieces, full-color and photo designs at one price, and it prints beautifully on cotton, blends, and performance fabrics alike. It’s the method we reach for when screen printing’s 24-piece minimum or its color count doesn’t fit what you need. We’ve been helping Anderson and Redding businesses, teams, and families since 1989, and every DTF order gets a free proof before we press a thing.
A youth team, a small crew, a family reunion, a church group — when you only need a handful of shirts, the 4-piece minimum has you covered.
A single prototype, a proof of concept, or one special shirt for a gift. DTF makes short runs simple without the setup a big order needs.
Gradients, fine detail, and photo-realistic images print cleanly at one price — no counting colors, no compromise on the artwork.
One order with cotton tees, poly jerseys, and fleece hoodies in light and dark colors? DTF handles them all with the same transfer.
A short run you need done without a lot of fuss. DTF is a fast, flexible way to get a few good-looking pieces out the door.
Need a few staff shirts in a different color, or a couple extra sizes after the main run? DTF fills the gaps without a whole new setup.
It’s the most flexible method we offer for small, colorful jobs — but not the cheapest at high volume. Here’s the honest breakdown.
Full color for one price. Because the whole design prints at once, we don’t charge per color the way screen printing does — a two-color logo and a full photo cost the same to print.
Start at just 4 pieces — the lowest minimum of anything we do. Great when you don’t need 24 shirts and don’t want to pay for them either.
Ordering a lot of the same design with just a few colors? Screen printing gets cheaper per shirt as the count climbs. We’ll tell you honestly which one saves you money.
About screen printing →DTF doesn’t have one flat price — it depends on your design and your order. And here’s the part people like: colors never add to the cost, so a full-color print is priced the same as a simple one. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll give you an honest quote, usually the same day.
Contact usOne of the best things about DTF is how little the fabric matters. It bonds cleanly to cotton, cotton/poly blends, and polyester or performance fabrics, and it looks great on both light and dark garments — no separate white underbase for you to worry about. That means a single order can mix tees, hoodies, jerseys, and totes of different colors and materials, all with the same great-looking transfer. Not sure your item will work? Send it our way and we’ll confirm before we run anything.
