JBN’s Direct to Film Transfer division is under the name of TransfersPlus. We service companies and individuals that are in need of a quality full color ready to press transfers for their clients or for personal use. Located in Melfort Saskatchewan, we are central to all locations in Canada making for a quick shipment of your Direct to Film Transfers.

We initially got into DTF to serve our own needs. Knowing that Screen-printing was far to labor intensive and we did have a Brother DTG printer but it did not do very well on dark garments. We also did HTV in house as well … don’t even get me going on WEEDING !!! After we had perfected the process and were using Direct to film daily in our shop, we decided to offer our process and expertise to companies such as yours. Fast forward to 3+ years later and we have over 85 clients, including 2 very well know retail brands that we print for almost every day!

What Is DTF?

DTF, or Direct to Film, is a new technology which allows us to print your ready to press designs onto special clear polyester films using digital water-based inks and a powder adhesive coating. After curing, you can then heat press the transfer design directly onto your garment with no need to weed the film. Direct to film transfer also have a softer feel than traditional Heat Transfer Vinyl ( HTV ) or regular cad cut colored vinyls.

LOW minimum quantities, no limitation to colors ( full color, photo quality images) and our ready to press transfers can decorate all types of substrates – color garments including dark & light, 50/50 blends and even 100% polyester fabrics.

All artwork must be 300 resolution transparent png file. If sending vector graphics, all text must be outlined. We will accept .ai and .eps vector files. Do not mirror your artwork. If you do they will be printed in reverse. Depending on the size of the order it will be either cut down to sheets or it will be sent as a roll in a box ( or hard envelope ) to avoid excessive handling and damage. You may gang your files to the 21.5″x11″ size, meaning you can have multiple images on one sheet. FILL THE SHEET!

DTF can be applied on a wide range of materials including, cotton, nylon, treated leather, polyester, 50/50 blends and more (light and dark fabrics).

We use HOT Peel film unless otherwise stated. You must be able to control pressure and heat settings. Please see our application flyer for pressing instructions.

We will try to have a 1-3 business day ( excluding holidays ) turn-around time on your order. In some cases it may take longer depending on our workload at the time.
