DTF vs Screen Printing for Toronto Businesses

Choosing between DTF transfers and screen printing depends on your order size, design complexity, and fabric types. Here is a quick comparison for Toronto businesses:

DTF Transfers Win For

Orders under 200 units — no setup costs at any quantity
Complex, multi-colour designs with gradients and photographic detail
Full CMYK colour with unlimited colours per design
Any fabric type — cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, denim, spandex
Dark and light garments without pre-treatment
Fast turnaround — no screen burning, no colour separations
Small batches and one-off custom orders

Screen Printing Wins For

Very large bulk runs (500+ units) with simple 1–2 colour designs
Specialty inks (puff, foil, discharge) not available in DTF
Pantone colour matching on large production runs

Most Toronto businesses choose DTF transfers for flexibility, speed, and cost-effectiveness on orders under 200 units. There are no setup fees, no colour limits, and transfers work on dark garments without pre-treatment — eliminating one of screen printing’s biggest limitations. Custom transfers Toronto businesses increasingly prefer DTF for its versatility across fabric types and colour combinations. Read our full DTF vs screen printing comparison guide.

How to Apply DTF Transfers

Applying DTF transfers is straightforward with a standard heat press. Here is a quick reference for Toronto customers:

Preheat your garment for 3–5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
Position the transfer face-down on the garment.
Press at 300–325°F (150–165°C) with medium pressure for 10–15 seconds.
Peel warm — remove the transfer film while still warm.
Second press — cover with parchment paper and press for 5 seconds to seal.

DTF transfers work on cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, denim, and spandex. They adhere to both dark and light garments with vibrant colour and excellent washability — 100+ wash durability when applied correctly. No pre-treatment, no weeding, no cutting required. Heat transfers Toronto customers find DTF to be the simplest and most reliable transfer method available. Read our full step-by-step DTF application guide.

Can I use DTF transfers on dark coloured shirts? ↓

Yes — DTF transfers work beautifully on both dark and light garments.

No pre-treatment is required, unlike some other printing methods. This makes DTF ideal for Toronto businesses that print on a variety of garment colours without needing separate processes for darks and lights.

What is a gang sheet and how does it save money? ↓

A gang sheet is a large sheet (22" wide, variable length) where you arrange multiple designs together to maximize space. Instead of paying per transfer, you pay per sheet — so the more designs you fit, the lower your cost per print. A 22"x100" gang sheet costs $39.99 and can fit approximately 10 chest-size prints (10"x10"), bringing your cost to roughly $4 per transfer. That is 57% less than ordering the same size as a fixed transfer at $9.25. Gang sheet Toronto print shops use this method to keep costs low on every order. Read our gang sheet guide.

DTF transfers from Button Bros are rated for 100+ washes when applied correctly with a heat press at the recommended settings (300–325°F, medium pressure, 10–15 seconds). The transfers maintain vibrant colour and flexibility through repeated washing and drying cycles. For best longevity, wash garments inside-out on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry on low heat. Our transfers will not crack, peel, or fade under normal use and care.

Can I use DTF transfers on polyester jerseys? ↓

Yes — DTF transfers adhere excellently to polyester, including performance fabrics and mesh jerseys used in sports. This is one of the key advantages of DTF over other methods like sublimation (which only works on light polyester) or screen printing (which can struggle with synthetic blends). For polyester, press at the lower end of the temperature range (300°F) to avoid scorching. DTF Toronto sports teams regularly use our transfers for custom jerseys, practice shirts, and team apparel.
