DTF Printing in Lubbock, TX — No Minimums

What Is DTF Printing?

DTF stands for Direct-to-Film. Designs are printed onto special PET film using CMYK + white ink, then coated with adhesive powder and heat-pressed onto garments. Unlike screen printing, DTF requires no screens, no color separations, and no minimum order. It works on virtually any fabric—cotton, polyester, nylon, blends, performance wear, and more.

Print Hybrid offers complete DTF service — we don't just sell loose transfers like some competitors. We print AND apply transfers to your garments, providing a full-service solution for businesses, startups, and individuals in Lubbock who need high-quality custom apparel without the hassle.

Why Choose DTF Printing?

• No Minimum Order: Print one shirt or one thousand. Perfect for samples, prototypes, and small businesses testing new designs without financial risk.
• Any Fabric: Works on cotton, polyester, nylon, blends, performance wear, canvas, denim—if you can heat press it, we can DTF it. This versatility makes DTF ideal for athletic wear, uniforms, and specialty garments.
• Unlimited Colors: Full CMYK color with no extra cost for additional colors. Photos, gradients, fine details, and complex artwork are all included in the base price.
• Soft Hand Feel: DTF transfers produce a thin, flexible print that doesn't feel stiff or plasticky. The result is a comfortable, breathable garment that people actually want to wear.
• Durable: 50+ wash durability when properly applied. DTF prints won't crack, peel, or fade like inferior vinyl transfers or low-quality DTG prints.
• Fast Turnaround: 3-5 business day standard turnaround for most orders. Rush options available when you need your apparel even faster.

DTF vs Screen Printing vs Hybrid

For orders under 48 pieces, DTF is your only option and delivers excellent results at a competitive price. For 72+ pieces with complex, full-color designs, consider our Digital Squeegee hybrid printing for the best balance of quality and cost. For 48+ pieces with simple designs (1-3 colors), traditional screen printing may be the most cost-effective choice.

When DTF Is the Right Choice

DTF printing is the ideal solution when you need:

• You need fewer than 48 pieces and traditional screen printing minimums don't make sense
• You're printing on polyester, nylon, or non-cotton fabrics like athletic wear or performance materials
• You need a quick sample or prototype before committing to a larger production run
• Your design has full-color photos, complex gradients, or fine details that would be impossible or expensive with screen printing
• You want one-off custom gifts, personal items, or limited-edition merchandise
• You're a small business or startup testing new designs without investing in screens
• You need matching prints across different fabric types (cotton tees, poly hoodies, nylon bags, etc.)

DTF Printing for Lubbock Businesses

DTF printing is ideal for Lubbock small businesses, startups, Etsy sellers, and local entrepreneurs who need professional custom apparel without the financial barriers of traditional screen printing. With no upfront investment in screens or setup fees, you can test new designs, offer on-demand products, and respond quickly to market trends.

DTF is perfect for pop-up shops, farmers markets, local events, and online stores where inventory flexibility matters. Launch a new product line with just a handful of samples, then scale up once you know what sells. Also great for established businesses needing small reorders, staff samples, or custom gifts for clients and employees.

Whether you're a local boutique, a campus organization, a sports team, or a promotional products distributor, DTF gives you the freedom to create custom apparel on your terms—no minimums, no compromises.
