Direct-to-film is how we do full-color art and short runs. The transfers are produced by DTF Tribe in Carson City, Nevada; we press them in our shop in Yerington on our own equipment. No screens, no minimum, and the price is quoted per job from the print size and the count.

## What it costs

DTF is **quoted per job**. The two things that move the price are the size of the print (a 3-inch left-chest logo costs far less than a 12-inch back) and the quantity. There is no screen or setup fee, which is why DTF wins under 48 pieces. Send the art and the count through the [quote form](/quote/) and you will usually have a number the same business day.

## When DTF is the right call

- Runs of 1 to 47 shirts.
- Photos, gradients, drop shadows and designs with 4 or more colors.
- Mixed shirt colors in one order, including dark polyester.
- A small order of names or numbers on the back.
- Family reunions, bachelor parties, small team and club orders.

## When screen print is better

At 48 and up with 1 to 3 flat colors, [screen printing](/decoration/screen-printing/) is cheaper per shirt and the print has a softer, more traditional feel. If your count sits near 48 we will price it both ways.

## How it holds up

A properly pressed DTF transfer is washable and stretches with the shirt. It sits on the fabric like a thin plastisol print. We press on a commercial heat press with the settings the transfer supplier specifies; Battle Born Clothing's guide to pressing DTF at home is at https://battlebornclothing.com/blogs/custom-apparel-guides-screen-printing-embroidery-dtf-tips/how-to-press-dtf-transfers-heat-press-settings if you ever want to press a few yourself.

## Artwork for DTF

- PNG with a transparent background, 300 dpi at print size, is ideal. Vector works too.
- No white box around the art unless you want one printed.
- Very thin lines and tiny text (under 0.1 inch) can lift; we will flag them on the proof.

## Questions
**Do you print DTF in-house?** No. The transfers are produced by a partner in Carson City. We press them in our shop on our own equipment and stand behind the finished shirt.

**Is there a minimum?** No. One shirt is a normal DTF order.

**Can you press transfers I already have?** Yes, as customer-supplied goods: $2 per item handling plus a press rate quoted per job.
