DTF printing has changed the game when it comes to custom clothing. At TLOT, we love DTF because it’s flexible, fast, and delivers bold, long-lasting results on pretty much any fabric. Whether it’s cotton, polyester, lycra, or something stretchy, DTF printing sticks and stays. That makes it ideal for t shirts, hoodies, tote bags, baby clothes, sportswear, and more.

What makes DTF unique is how the design is first printed onto a special film. Then we apply a powder adhesive, heat it up, and transfer it directly onto the garment. It sounds technical, but the result is simple, smooth, colourful prints that feel soft to the touch and move with the fabric. You get the detail and brightness of digital printing, but with more flexibility and better wear over time.

DTF is also great for detailed or multi-colour designs, especially if you’re working with bold branding or artwork. And because there’s no need for screens or setup fees, it’s super cost-effective — even for one-off prints.

We also care about doing things the right way. Our DTF inks are water-based and certified skin-safe, making them a better option for both you and the environment. We keep waste to a minimum and always aim for sustainable production where possible.

No matter how small or large your order is, we’ve got you covered with fast turnaround and delivery anywhere in the UK. From personal projects to business merch, Tlot’s DTF printing is a smart choice if you want quality, colour, and comfort in every print.

FAQs – DTF Printing at T LOT

What is DTF printing?

DTF (Direct to Film) printing is a process where your design is printed onto a special film and then heat-transferred onto garments for a vibrant, durable finish.

What fabrics can DTF be used on?

DTF works on almost all fabrics including cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, and more — light or dark colours, no problem!

Is DTF printing good for small orders?

Yes! DTF is perfect for both single items and bulk orders. There’s no minimum quantity, so you can order exactly what you need.

Are DTF prints durable?

Absolutely. DTF prints are soft, stretchable, and resistant to cracking, fading, or peeling — even after many washes.

How long does it take to get my DTF order?

We offer fast turnaround with same day or next day delivery available anywhere in the UK.

Is DTF safe and eco-friendly?

Yes. We use water-based, OEKO-TEX certified inks that are skin-safe and free from harmful chemicals, making it a more eco-conscious choice.

Can I print full-colour designs using DTF?

Definitely! DTF handles complex, full-colour images and fine details really well — perfect for logos, photos, and gradients.

Do I need to provide a specific file format?

We recommend high-resolution PNG or vector files, but we can help with file setup if needed.

Can you help me create a design?

Yes, we offer in-house design support to help bring your ideas to life.

What’s the difference between DTF and DTG?

DTG prints directly onto fabric and works best on cotton. DTF is more versatile and can be applied to many fabric types, with better durability and colour vibrancy.

If you’re looking for vibrant, high-quality prints on your clothing without any fuss, DTG printing is one of the best options out there and here at TLOT, we’re proud to offer this fantastic service across the UK.

DTG stands for Direct-to-Garment printing. It’s a modern technique where your design is printed directly onto fabric using specialised inkjet technology. Think of it like a regular printer you might have at home, but designed to print on t shirts, hoodies, bags, and more. The result? Crisp, detailed images that feel soft and natural on the fabric, not heavy or plasticky like some other printing methods.

One of the biggest advantages of DTG printing is how perfect it is for complex, full-colour designs. Whether it’s a photograph, a detailed illustration, or a multi-colour logo, DTG handles it with ease. Unlike screen printing, which requires separate screens for each colour and is best for simple designs, DTG can print full-colour prints with gradients and fine details in just one go. That means no extra costs for multiple colours and a much faster turnaround.

At TLOT, we use the latest DTG machines to deliver top-notch prints that last. The inks we use are water-based and eco-friendly, so your clothes won’t just look good — they’re better for the environment too. Plus, because DTG works best on cotton or cotton-blend fabrics, your garments stay soft, breathable, and comfortable to wear.

Another huge bonus? There’s no minimum order at TLOT. Need just one custom printed t-shirt for an event, or a small batch for your startup? We’ve got you covered. And if you’re thinking big, we offer great discounts on bulk orders, too. Our fast turnaround and delivery mean you get your prints when you need them, no stress.

In short, DTG printing with TLOT gives you freedom and freedom to create any design you want, in full colour, with great quality and fast delivery anywhere in the UK. Whether you’re personalising gifts, launching a clothing line, or just expressing yourself, DTG printing is an easy, affordable way to bring your ideas to life.

Yes, you can! We print on a range of accessories, including tote bags, caps, aprons, and more — all customizable with your designs.

Heat Transfer Vinyl, or HTV, is one of the easiest and most popular ways to personalise your clothes and accessories. Basically, we cut your design out of special vinyl and then use heat to press it onto your garment. At TLOT, we use really good quality vinyl that sticks well, looks bright, and lasts a long time without cracking or fading. It works great on t shirts, hoodies, tote bags and pretty much anything you want to customise.

What’s cool about HTV is how sharp and detailed your design can be. Whether it’s simple text or a complex multi-layered logo, HTV handles it all. Plus, the vinyl is flexible, so it stretches with the fabric without peeling off. That means your print stays looking fresh, even after washing it over and over.

HTV is also perfect if you want just one item or a small batch — there’s no minimum order! And if you’re ordering in bulk, we offer discounts to make it even better value. We pride ourselves on quick turnaround times, and we deliver fast anywhere in the UK. So, whether you’re printing for an event, a business, or just for fun, HTV is a reliable, affordable option.

We use professional heat press machines to make sure every print sticks properly. This means your design won’t come off or fade easily, no matter how much you wear or wash it. If you want quality custom prints that look great and last, HTV from TLOT is definitely worth considering.

Embroidery is a classic and timeless method of adding a touch of elegance and professionalism to your garments. At Tlot, we specialise in high-quality embroidery that transforms simple clothing into standout pieces. We use durable threads stitched directly into the fabric and embroidery provides a textured, long-lasting design that won’t fade, peel, or crack over time. This makes it perfect for branding uniforms, personalised gifts, corporate wear, and merchandise.

One of the great things about embroidery is its versatility. Whether you want a small logo on a polo shirt or a detailed design on a hoodie or cap, embroidery can handle intricate patterns and vibrant colours with precision. Plus, the raised texture adds a premium feel that digital prints can’t quite match.

We also care deeply about the environment. Embroidery is actually one of the more eco friendly printing options because it uses less energy compared to some other printing processes, and the materials—like polyester and cotton threads—can be biodegradable or recyclable. We’re committed to sourcing sustainable threads and reducing waste wherever possible. So, when you choose embroidery with us, you’re not only getting a quality product but also making a greener choice.

Our expert team works with you from start to finish, ensuring your design is perfectly digitised and positioned on your apparel. Whether you need just one personalised item or bulk embroidery with great discounts, we deliver fast across the UK with no minimum order requirements.

If you’re after super bright, photo-quality prints that feel like part of the fabric , our sublimation printing is the way to go. At Tlot, sublimation is one of our go-to methods for printing detailed, colourful designs, especially for things like sportswear, mugs, cushions, and promotional items. It’s especially popular for custom gifts and brand merchandise because the results are crisp, smooth, and seriously long-lasting.

We use heat to turn special dye into gas, which then fuses directly into the surface of the item — no layers, no peeling. The design becomes part of the fabric or product itself, which means it won’t fade, even after loads of washes or daily use. And because the ink sinks into the material, the fabric stays soft and breathable, not stiff or plastic-like.

Sublimation is perfect for designs with loads of colour, detail, or photo-like imagery. Whether you’re printing a full-colour logo on a t shirt or a family photo on a mug, sublimation handles it beautifully. Just keep in mind it works best on white or light-coloured polyester fabrics and coated surfaces — not cotton.

We also love that sublimation is more planet-friendly than many other methods. It uses water-based, non-toxic inks and produces minimal waste. There’s no need for harsh chemicals, and the process uses just the right amount of ink with very little mess, which helps us keep things cleaner and greener.

T Lot offers fast sublimation printing with same day and next day delivery anywhere in the UK. Whether it’s one item or a bulk order, we’ve got you covered — all with high-quality results and a fast, reliable service
