🔍 What Is a DTF Transfer Supplier?

A DTF transfer supplier is a business that prints custom designs onto heat-ready film using DTF technology. These transfers can then be pressed onto garments and hard goods with heat — no weeding or setup required. The right supplier helps you save time, reduce waste, and ensure professional-quality finishes on every order.

🎯 7 Things to Consider When Choosing Your DTF Supplier

  1. ✅ Print Quality & Consistency
    Look for vibrant color output, clean lines, soft hand feel, and no cracking or fading after washing. At Cali DTF Prints, we use premium inks and film for top-quality transfers that last.

  2. ✅ Turnaround Time & Shipping Speed
    Time is money. Whether you need same-day printing or 1–2 business day turnaround, make sure your supplier can keep up. We ship fast from Sacramento, California to anywhere in the U.S.

  3. ✅ File Preparation & Builder Tools
    Choose a supplier that makes it easy to upload your design or build your own gang sheet online. Our Gang Sheet Builder helps you maximize space and reduce cost.
