Pioneers of DTF Printing in the UK
Based in Cambridge, DTF Owl was among the first companies in the United Kingdom to adopt Direct-to-Film transfer technology. Today, we print thousands of custom transfers every month with state-of-the-art equipment and deliver them to every UK postcode.
Our Story
DTF Owl was born from a passion for printing innovation. When Direct-to-Film technology first emerged, we recognised its potential to transform the custom garment printing industry. While most UK printers were still relying on screen printing and vinyl cutting, we invested early in DTF equipment and became one of the first adopters of this technology in the country.
Based in the historic city of Cambridge, our production facility is equipped with state-of-the-art DTF printers that print on non-toxic, formaldehyde-free EU made PET film, delivering safe, high-quality transfers that withstand dozens of washes. Every transfer we produce goes through rigorous quality checks before shipping.
From a small operation printing for local businesses, we have grown into a trusted supplier for brands, sports clubs, charities, events, and entrepreneurs across the UK. Our commitment to quality and innovation remains at the heart of everything we do.

What Is DTF Transfer Printing?
DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a modern garment decoration method that prints designs onto a special non-toxic, formaldehyde-free EU made PET film using specialised inkjet printers. A hot-melt adhesive powder is then applied and cured, creating a transfer that can be heat pressed onto virtually any fabric — cotton, polyester, nylon, denim, leather, and blends.
Unlike screen printing, DTF requires no screens, no colour separations, and no minimum order quantities. Unlike vinyl cutting, DTF handles fine detail and gradients with ease on non-toxic, EU made film. The result is a soft, flexible print with excellent wash durability that can be applied to light and dark garments alike.
At DTF Owl, we use this technology to produce custom transfers for businesses, brands, sports teams, schools, events, and individuals. Simply upload your artwork, choose your sheet size, and we handle the printing and shipping. Our transfers arrive ready to press — no weeding, no layering, no hassle.
