The honest version: if you're ordering 150 shirts with a two-color logo, screen printing is cheaper and feels better — and we'll tell you that. DTF exists for the jobs screens can't touch: photos, full color, tiny runs, and every-shirt-is-different.

Built For This

When DTF Is
the Right Call.

📸

Photos & Full Color

A team photo. A painted mural. A gradient sunset. Artwork with forty colors in it. Screen printing would need forty screens and $1,200 in setup. DTF needs none of that.

🎯

Small Runs & One-Offs

Six shirts for a bachelor party. One prototype before you commit to 200. A single replacement for the guy who spilled crawfish on his. No setup fee means small is finally affordable.

👤

Every Shirt Different

Names on the back. Individual numbers. Different art per person. Screen printing charges you for new screens every single time. DTF doesn't charge you at all.

Real Numbers

Pricing, Out Loud.

No "call for pricing." No mystery. This is what the print costs. Add the shirt and you have your number.

How It Works

Four Steps.

01

Send Your Art

Any format. If it's low-res or needs cleanup, we'll tell you before we charge you for anything.

02

Approve the Proof

You see exactly what will print. Nothing goes to production until you sign off.

03

We Press It

Every transfer gets a second press for durability. It's the step most shops skip, and it's why prints crack.

04

Inspected, Then Yours

Every piece checked before it leaves. Pick up in Gonzales or we deliver locally.

Lead time: 2 to 2.5 weeks. Need it faster? We have a rush option.

Questions

What People Ask.

Will it crack or peel?
Not if it's pressed correctly. We do a second press after peeling — a step a lot of shops skip because it doubles their handling time. It's also the single biggest reason DTF prints fail. Ours are wash-tested to 100 cycles.
Does it feel like plastic?
There's a slight film feel, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. On a small print you'd never notice. On a big full-front print, screen printing feels softer — that's a real trade-off, and if hand feel is your priority we'll steer you to screens.
Really no minimum? Even one shirt?
One shirt. No setup fee, no minimum, no penalty. This is the whole reason DTF exists — screen printing simply cannot do a single shirt at a sane price, because you'd be paying $30 a color to burn screens you'd use once.
What garments can you print on?
Cotton, poly, blends, tri-blends, canvas, denim, performance wear, even dark garments — DTF prints white ink, so it pops on black. Basically anything you can get flat under a press.
Can I bring my own shirts?
Yes. You'd pay for the print only. We'd ask you to bring 5% extra in case of a misprint — bring 25 for a 24-piece job. And we'll need you to sign off that we're not liable for the garments themselves.
When should I NOT use DTF?
When you're ordering 100+ shirts with a simple 1-2 color design. Screen printing will be cheaper and feel better. We'll tell you that even though DTF is easier for us. If you're not sure, just ask — that's what the quote is for.
