Colorburst Digital


ColorBurst Digital, also know as Direct to Film (DTF) is a modern apparel decoration method that transfers full-color designs onto garments using a heat-applied film. This process allows for vibrant colors, gradients, and highly detailed artwork without the color limitations of traditional printing methods. DTF works on a wide range of fabrics including cotton, polyester, and blended materials, making it a versatile option for custom t-shirts, hoodies, workwear, team apparel, and promotional clothing. It’s especially ideal for small orders, complex designs, and multi-color graphics while still delivering durable, long-lasting prints that hold up to repeated washing and everyday wear.

Choosing the Right Decoration Method

Different printing methods work better depending on the design, quantity, and type of garment.

ColorBurst Digital (DTF) is best for small orders, complex artwork, and designs with many colors or gradients. Because it does not require screen setup, it’s a great option for short runs, one-off prints, or detailed graphics.

Screen Printing is typically the best choice for larger orders with simpler designs and fewer colors. Once screens are created, it becomes the most cost-effective method for producing large quantities of apparel with vibrant, long-lasting prints.

If you’re unsure which method is right for your project, our team will help you choose the option that delivers the best results and value for your order.
