Canonical: https://restaurantuniformco.com/decoration/dtf-transfers/

DTF (direct-to-film) puts a full-color logo on almost any fabric without screens. It is the right call for a 12-piece order with a photo-style logo or a mix of tees, aprons and polos. Battle Born Clothing outsources the transfers to DTF Tribe in Carson City, NV and presses them in-house. Priced per job.

## When DTF beats screen print or embroidery

- Logos with gradients, photos or more than three colors
- Orders under 48 pieces where screens do not pay off
- Mixed garments and fabrics in one job (poly, cotton, blends)
- Names and numbers alongside a logo

## When it does not

- Aprons washed daily for a year: use embroidery.
- Big simple one-color runs of 48+: screen print is cheaper per piece.
- Heavily textured fabric: ask us first.

## Pricing

DTF is quoted per job based on print size and quantity. Send artwork and quantity on the [quote form](/quote/) and we price it the same business day.

## Artwork

Vector or 300 dpi PNG with a transparent background. DTF reproduces what you send, so a low-resolution file will look low-resolution.

## Questions
**Do you print DTF in-house?** No. We do not run a DTF printer. DTF Tribe in Carson City prints the transfers and we press them here with the rest of your order.

**How does DTF hold up on a restaurant tee?** Well on a tee washed normally. On aprons bleached daily we recommend embroidery instead.
