What DTF is doing on a shirt

Direct-to-film places a printed film on cotton. You can see the placement before anyone heats a press.

DTF handles small type and full-color artwork better than a one-color screen, which is why the shirt configurator is built around a placement canvas.

The front print area is the chest. If you add the back, the price uses a 1.6× multiplier rather than a flat double — the setup is shared, the film is not.

Dark shirts need a white underbase. That is already in the shirt price. Very fine lines under 1 mm may fill in. The preview is a placement guide, not a microscope.
