A practical breakdown of what's possible. These are the common requests we handle every week.
The questions we hear most. If yours isn't here, send it through and we'll answer directly.
We stopped offering screen printing several years ago because DTF (direct-to-film) does the same job better for almost every modern project. Screen printing requires a separate hand-pulled screen for every colour in your design, with hefty setup costs that make small runs and multi-colour artwork expensive. DTF prints the full colour artwork from a single film, without a separate screen for every colour, and reproduces gradients, photographs, and complex multi-colour designs that screen printing can't touch. For team names & numbers, full-colour graphics, and most apparel decoration we'd have screen-printed in the past, DTF is the better, cheaper, and faster option.
DTF (direct-to-film) is a transfer technique. We print your design onto a film, then heat-press it onto the garment. It's the most cost-effective option for full-colour designs, photographic detail, gradients, and team name-and-number personalization at scale.
Yes. This is one of the most common things we do. Send us the roster as a spreadsheet (name, number, size) and we'll handle the rest. Hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, custom jerseys, and any other team sport.
T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, jerseys, polos, tote bags, canvas, performance fabrics, and most heat-pressable apparel. Light and dark garments both work. DTF doesn't work well on silk, certain coated technicals, leather, or waxed fabrics. If you're unsure about a specific item, send a photo and we'll confirm.
DTF and embroidery are complementary techniques, with different strengths for different jobs. Reach for DTF when the design has photographic detail, gradients, or many fine colour transitions; when you need personalized names and numbers on a whole team; when the fabric is too thin or stretchy to embroider cleanly; or when the artwork has more colours than thread can carry. Embroidery is the long-haul choice for logos that need to last decades, premium corporate apparel, hats and uniforms, and the traditional stitched look.
Very vivid. DTF reproduces the full CMYK colour range, so brand colours, photographic detail, and complex artwork translate accurately. Fabric colour can shift the apparent print colour slightly. For brand-exact work, we'll do a test print first.
A properly applied DTF transfer holds up to about 40 to 50 wash cycles when laundered inside-out on a cool or warm wash and tumble-dried low.
Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) give the best result. A high-resolution PNG with transparent background at 300 dpi at the print size works too. The final print will reflect the quality of the file you send.
No minimum. One t-shirt or one personalized gift is welcome. Per-piece pricing improves on larger runs.
Most orders are ready about a week after you approve the proof, and we always proof before we print. If you're on a deadline, ask: rush and same-day are available on timelines we can accept. Finished orders ship Canada-wide by tracked courier, or you can pick up at the Toronto studio, often the same day it's done.
There's a one-time setup charge to prep your print file, which includes cleaning the artwork (removing halos and stray edge colour). We keep that file on hand, so identical reorders aren't charged setup again. Send us your design for a quote and we'll confirm the cost up front.
Turn the garment inside-out, wash on a cool or warm cycle, and tumble-dry low. Skip bleach and don't iron directly over the print. Treated this way, a DTF transfer holds its colour through dozens of washes.
