DTF Printing Calgary – Direct-to-Film Heat Transfers
DTF Printing Corp specializes in direct-to-film (DTF) printing in Calgary, offering durable, versatile heat transfers that work on virtually any fabric. Unlike DTG printing, which prints directly onto garments, DTF transfers are printed on film and heat-pressed onto your apparel—making them perfect for polyester, nylon, performance fabrics, and cotton blends.
What is DTF Printing?
Direct-to-film printing involves printing your design onto a special transfer film, then applying it to fabric using a heat press. The result is a bold, vibrant print with excellent stretch, wash resistance, and durability—even on dark or synthetic materials.
Our high-quality DTF inks and films produce smooth, flexible transfers that won’t crack or fade, making them ideal for team uniforms, promotional apparel, and custom merchandise.
