Pressing Matters offers professional DTF printing in Vancouver and Burnaby, creating full-colour designs on custom T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and other apparel. DTF stands for direct-to-film: your artwork is printed onto a special film, backed with a heat-activated adhesive, and transferred onto the garment using a heat press. This process produces vibrant prints on both light and dark clothing and works on a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends.

One of the biggest advantages of DTF printing is its ability to reproduce multicolour artwork without requiring a separate screen for each colour. It’s a versatile option for detailed illustrations, colour gradients, and designs with many colours. A white ink layer behind the artwork helps colours stand out on dark garments. Because DTF doesn’t require screen preparation, it’s particularly useful for smaller apparel orders and designs that would involve several screen printing setups.

DTF transfers offer sharp detail and a durable, flexible finish when properly applied and cared for. They work well for business logos, band merchandise, event shirts, and promotional apparel. The transfer sits on the surface of the fabric, so large, solid designs will feel more noticeable than smaller graphics or artwork with open spaces. Our team can review your design and recommend a print size and placement that balances appearance and comfort.

Your DTF printing quote depends on the garment style, order quantity, print size, and number of locations. Unlike screen printing, adding more colours generally doesn’t increase the printing cost in the same way, making DTF a practical choice for full-colour custom apparel.
