Running a screenprint or embroidery shop doesn't mean you need to turn away DTF jobs. DTF Vancouver operates as a trade supplier for print shops across Canada who want to offer DTF without the capital investment in equipment.
A production-quality DTF printer runs $8,000–$25,000 CAD, plus powder shaker, curing oven, and ongoing ink and film costs. For shops whose primary work is screenprint or embroidery, that's a large investment for a service that might represent 10–15% of orders. Outsourcing DTF to a specialist and white-labelling the result is often better math.
Print shops order through the same public-facing channels as retail customers — no wholesale application, no tier gates. Pricing is transparent and consistent. Most shops build their DTF markup into their customer-facing pricing and pocket the spread. For recurring volume accounts, contact us directly to discuss invoicing terms.
Overflow DTF jobs when a customer requests a decoration method the shop doesn't offer. Small runs (under 12 pieces) where setting up a screenprint job isn't economical. Complex full-colour artwork that would require 8+ spot colours on press. Photo-quality prints that exceed what DTG can handle on polyester or blended blanks. Sublimation transfers on non-polyester fabrics where standard sublimation won't bond.
Same-day production means the transfer ships the day you upload. For shops in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, 1–2 day transit means a job ordered Monday afternoon is ready to press Wednesday morning. For Ontario and Quebec shops, 2–3 day transit. Build that into your customer quote and you're competitive with most regional alternatives.
