DTF transfers applied with a heat press for local orders.
ANCO uses direct-to-film (DTF) transfers applied with a heat press for Calgary orders that need a clear, detailed design on T-shirts, hoodies, workwear or event apparel. Start with the artwork and garment you are considering. Use the guidance below to shape a more useful quote request.
DTF is a practical option to discuss when your design has detail, colour or a shape that needs to be reproduced clearly. Send the best artwork file you have and tell ANCO which garment and colour you are considering.
Tell us where the design should appear and whether you are considering one location or several. ANCO can review the requested size, garment colour and placement before the order is confirmed.
A DTF quote is easier to understand when ANCO knows the approximate number of pieces, the garments involved and the date you are working toward. An estimate is enough to start the conversation.
DTF describes the transfer-production part of ANCO's decoration process. A heat press applies that transfer to the garment. Send the best original artwork, proposed dimensions and locations, plus the garment style and colour so the whole application can be reviewed.
A file extension, a 300 PPI label or a generic compatibility claim does not establish that a specific design and garment are ready for production. These guides help you describe the file and compare process questions accurately.
Work through a specific decision, then bring the details to your quote request.
Understand raster, vector and mixed artwork files before sending a logo for apparel. Keep an editable master and use the downloadable artwork checklist.
Use pixels divided by inches to check artwork PPI. Work through 2400-pixel examples, centimetre conversion and the difference between resizing and resampling.
Inspect apparel artwork on light and dark backgrounds. Distinguish a transparent area, intentional white artwork and unwanted rectangles or soft edges.
Understand DTF transfer and screen-printing setup. Compare artwork, garments, print locations and quantities without assuming one method always wins.
Understand ANCO's DTF transfer and heat-press steps. Compare what each stage covers, then prepare garment, artwork and placement details.
