If you're a screen printing customer looking for more flexibility, faster turnaround, or full-color options, Direct to Film (DTF) transfers might be the perfect solution. At Modfirst Apparel, we help customers who previously relied on screen printing get better results with less hassle, especially for short runs, rush jobs, and high-detail artwork.

Whether you’re printing merch, uniforms, promotional wear, or client orders, DTF offers screen printing customers a faster, cleaner, and more versatile experience — without sacrificing quality.

🎯 Why Screen Printing Customers Are Switching to DTF

Screen printing is a trusted method for high-volume production, but it comes with limitations. Here’s why more customers are turning to Modfirst Apparel’s DTF transfers:

✔️ No Minimums
Screen printing often requires 24–48 pieces to be cost-effective. With DTF, you can print as few as one item — perfect for small orders or one-off designs.

✔️ Full-Color Printing
DTF supports CMYK+White, so you can print vibrant photos, gradients, textures, and complex artwork — no separations or extra screens required.

✔️ Zero Setup Fees
Forget about film output, screens, alignment, and emulsion. With DTF, you just upload your artwork and press — no prep or cleanup.

✔️ Works on All Fabrics
Unlike screen printing, which is best for cotton, DTF adheres flawlessly to cotton, polyester, fleece, blends, and even performance wear.

✔️ Fast Turnaround
Modfirst Apparel offers rush service and same-day production, making it ideal for last-minute jobs or tight deadlines.

✔️ Less Waste
No leftover ink. No overproduction. No misaligned screens. Just the transfers you need — when you need them.
