DTF Prints in Melbourne
With Accurte Colours and Sharp Details
DTF prints in Melbourne are setting a new benchmark for quality and efficiency in Australian garment decorating. At Monkey Transfers, we produce premium Direct To Film prints from our Melbourne facility, combining an industry-leading 8-colour ink system with a 24-hour turnaround.
We ship Australia-wide, with local pick-up available from Officer, Victoria for customers who need their orders fast. From small independent labels to large decorating studios, we have the capacity, technology, and expertise to deliver results that impress at every order size.
What Makes DTF
Different
Direct To Film is a heat transfer process that produces full-colour, photo-quality designs on a specialised film, then presses them permanently onto fabric. It requires no screens, no colour separations, and no minimum quantities, making it cost-effective for businesses of all sizes. The process is clean, efficient, and consistently delivers sharp, detailed results.
What sets DTF apart is the breadth of what it can handle. Complex gradients, photographic imagery, fine linework, and intricate illustrations all transfer cleanly onto fabric. As long as your file meets the artwork requirements, there are virtually no creative limitations.
Ink Technology That
Makes a Visible Difference
At Monkey Transfers, we invest in equipment that produces results you can see. Our commercial-grade printer operates on an 8-colour ink system using Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Orange, and Green. This goes well beyond the standard 4-colour CMYK setup used by most DTF suppliers, reproducing a far wider spectrum of colours with greater accuracy.
The difference shows up in every print. Gradients are smoother, saturated tones richer, and details like skin tones come through with a realism that 4-colour systems cannot replicate. For brands where colour accuracy is non-negotiable, our prints deliver the vibrancy and precision that make garments stand out.
Prints That Hold Up
Over Time
Durability is one of the most important factors when choosing a transfer supplier, and it is where Monkey Transfers consistently outperforms the competition. We use high-grade, eco-friendly approved inks formulated to bond deeply with fabric fibres, producing a finish that resists cracking, peeling, and fading through repeated washing and regular wear.
Our transfers perform reliably across cotton, polyester, blends, denim, and nylon. The finish is soft and stretchy, moving naturally with the fabric rather than sitting stiffly on top. For your customers, that means a garment that looks and feels as good after fifty washes as the day it was pressed.
Gang Sheets That Work
as Hard as You Do
Our DTF prints in Melbourne are produced on gang sheets measuring 58cm x 100cm, giving you complete control over how your print space is used. Arrange a single large design across the full sheet, tile a smaller graphic to maximise repetitions, or mix artworks to cover multiple product lines in one order. A practical format built around the real-world needs of decorating businesses.
Sheets are priced from $24.95 (inc. GST), with tiered bulk discounts. Orders of 10 to 19 sheets receive 5% off, rising to 10% off for 20 to 49, 15% off for 50 to 99, and 20% off for orders of 100 or more. Whether testing a new design or fulfilling a large production run, our pricing is designed to grow with your business.
Simple to Apply,
Impressive Every Time
Pressing our transfers is straightforward, and any decorator with a quality heat press can master it quickly. Set your press to 150 degrees Celsius, apply firm pressure between 40 and 80 PSI, press for 6 seconds, and peel the film away immediately. A second 6-second press with a Teflon sheet locks the design in permanently for a smooth, professional finish.
The 6-second instant hot peel makes a genuine difference to production efficiency. There is no waiting for the film to cool between presses, so you can work through large garment runs at a pace impossible with cold-peel systems. For busy studios managing tight deadlines, that speed directly impacts your daily output.
