Solutions / Direct-to-Film

Prepare cleaner DTF artwork before it reaches the printer.

Reduce avoidable rework by connecting transparent artwork cleanup, white-underbase preparation, proof review, and print-ready delivery.

01 / Pain points

Problems this solution is designed to remove

Start with the delays, errors, rework, and communication gaps that are familiar to this production method.

01

Low-quality source files

Customer artwork often arrives with backgrounds, rough edges, weak resolution, or colors that will not transfer cleanly.

02

White layers are inconsistent

Underbase and choke settings need to match the artwork, garment color, and production method.

03

Print-ready expectations are unclear

The customer and production team need to agree on size, placement, transparency, and final appearance.
