When the art is a photo, a gradient or a sponsor block with eight brand colors, or the order is 20 shirts for a bachelor party, DTF is the right tool. Transfers are produced by a Carson City partner and pressed in our Yerington shop by Battle Born Clothing. Quoted per job.

## When DTF beats screen print

- Full-color art: photos, gradients, multi-color sponsor logos that will not simplify.
- Runs under 48 pieces where screens ($20 per color) would cost more than the shirts.
- Mixed orders where each shirt needs a different name or number.
- A dozen staff shirts added to a big screen print order, in a different design.

## When screen print beats DTF

- 48 or more shirts with 1 or 2 ink colors: screen print is cheaper per piece and the print lasts longer.
- Very large prints on a lot of shirts.
- Soft prints on cotton (water-based or discharge).

## Pricing

DTF is quoted per job because the cost depends on the printed area and the count, not the color count. Send the art and the quantity and we will price it against screen print and tell you which one is cheaper for your shirts. The blank is priced the same either way.

## How it is done

We send your art to our DTF partner in Carson City, NV, they print the transfer, and we press it in our shop on a heat press with the right time, temperature and pressure for the shirt. Battle Born Clothing published the settings we use: https://battlebornclothing.com/blogs/custom-apparel-guides-screen-printing-embroidery-dtf-tips/how-to-press-dtf-transfers-heat-press-settings. A DTF shirt gets the same proof and the same free redo on our errors as any other job.

## Questions
**How does a DTF print hold up?** Washed inside out in cold water, a properly pressed transfer lasts for the life of a typical event shirt. Screen print still wins for shirts that get washed hundreds of times.

**Is there a minimum?** No. One memorial shirt with a photo is a normal DTF order.

**Can you do DTF on performance shirts?** Yes. Polyester takes DTF well and avoids the dye-migration risk of screen printing on some poly colors.
