At FireBird Prints, we’re constantly innovating to bring you the latest and greatest in custom printing technology.
That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Direct to Film (DTF) transfers – a revolutionary printing technique transforming Vancouver’s custom apparel scene.
What are DTF Transfers?
A Printing Revolution
Imagine a printing process that transcends the limitations of traditional methods.
DTF transfers seamlessly blend the photorealistic detail and vibrant colors of digital printing with the versatility of screen printing.
This translates to high-quality designs that can be applied to a broader range of fabrics than ever before.
Unlike screen printing, which restricts you to a specific number of colors and requires individual screens for each color, DTF transfers utilize a digital printing process capable of producing intricate designs with a full spectrum of colors.
Furthermore, DTF transfers overcome the limitations of traditional heat transfers, which often struggle with achieving vibrant colors on dark-colored fabrics.
With DTF transfers, you can achieve stunning results on virtually any fabric, including cotton, polyester, blends, and even dark colors.
This opens up a world of possibilities for businesses and individuals in Vancouver looking to create unique and eye-catching custom apparel.
DTF Transfer Process
Design Creation
Our skilled graphic design team can help you translate your ideas into a digital masterpiece, or you can provide your camera-ready artwork.
We utilize high-quality design software to ensure your design looks crisp and translates flawlessly to the printing process.
Film Printing
Your design is meticulously printed onto a special heat-resistant film using specialized pigment inks.
These inks are formulated for exceptional color vibrancy and adhesion to the film.
Powder Application
Once the ink cures, a fine white powder is applied to the wet design.
This powder creates a dimensional texture that acts as a bonding agent when heat pressed onto the fabric.
Heat Transfer
The prepared film, with your design and the special powder, is then placed onto your chosen garment.
A heat press applies intense heat and pressure for a predetermined amount of time.
During this process, the inks and powder activate, fusing the design permanently onto the fabric fibers.
Peeling and Done
The final step is pure satisfaction.
The carrier film is carefully peeled away, revealing your stunning, high-quality design permanently adhered to the fabric.
The result is a soft, breathable print that feels like an integral part of the garment.
