Direct to Film Heat Transfers

Fast. Flexible. Vibrant. Built for real-world wear.
 

INKD Flex DTF printing is our go-to method for bold, durable prints on almost any garment. It offers exceptional colour, stretch and wash durability — without the limitations of traditional vinyl or screen printing.
 

Perfect for businesses, clubs, tradies, merch and everyday apparel.

What Is DTF Printing?

DTF (Direct to Film) printing involves printing your design onto a specialised film, applying adhesive powder, and heat-pressing it onto the garment.

The result is a high-detail, long-lasting print that bonds to the fabric — not just the surface.

✔ Full-colour prints
✔ No weeding or layering
✔ Soft, flexible finish
