What Is DTF Printing?

Everything you need to know about dtf printing services for Burbank businesses and organizations.

DTF (direct-to-film) printing creates full-color transfers on PET film that are then heat-pressed onto any fabric type. Unlike screen printing or DTG, DTF works on cotton, polyester, nylon, spandex, and every blend in between - with zero dye migration on synthetics. The adhesive layer creates a durable, flexible print with vibrant colors.

Common Questions

DTF Printing FAQ - Burbank

Answers to the most common questions about dtf printing for Burbank businesses and organizations.

Where can I get DTF transfers printed near Burbank?

French Press Custom produces full-color DTF (direct-to-film) transfers at our Santa Fe Springs facility, just 30 minutes from Burbank. We print and apply DTF transfers on cotton, polyester, nylon, and every blend - perfect for Burbank businesses needing mixed-fabric branding.

What's the difference between DTF and screen printing for Burbank orders?

For Burbank orders, both methods have strengths. Screen printing is more cost-effective for large runs (100+ pieces) in 1-3 colors. DTF is better for full-color designs, small quantities, and mixed-fabric orders. DTF works on polyester and nylon where screen printing can struggle. Both are available at our facility 30 minutes from Burbank - we'll recommend the best method for your project.

What is DTF printing?

DTF (direct-to-film) printing creates a full-color transfer on a special film using CMYK + white ink, then applies it to the garment with a heat press. The biggest advantage: DTF works on ANY fabric - cotton, polyester, nylon, spandex, blends, and more. It produces vibrant, full-color prints with excellent durability and no dye migration on dark polyester.

Is DTF printing durable?

DTF transfers are extremely durable. The adhesive powder bonds permanently to the fabric under heat and pressure, creating a flexible print that stretches with the garment without cracking. DTF prints withstand 50+ washes and are resistant to fading. They also have zero dye migration on polyester, which is a common problem with other print methods.

What are the advantages of DTF over DTG?

DTF has three main advantages over DTG: (1) Fabric versatility - DTF works on any fabric including polyester and nylon, while DTG only works on cotton. (2) No pre-treatment - DTG requires pre-treating the garment, DTF doesn't. (3) Consistency - DTF transfers look identical on every fabric and color. DTG still wins for the softest hand feel on cotton and for the most photographic detail.

Can you rush dtf printing in Burbank?

Yes. Rush windows by method: screen printing and embroidery in 3-5 days, DTG and DTF in 2-3 days, heat transfer vinyl in 24-48 hours, quoted per project. Pickup in Santa Fe Springs as soon as the job is done, or local delivery to Burbank. See our rush printing page for details.
