What Are
DTF Transfers?
DTF stands for Direct To Film. It's a modern printing method where your design is printed onto a special heat-transfer film using high-quality inks, then pressed onto fabric using a heat press. Unlike screen printing, there are no screens to set up, no minimum runs, and no colour limitations. Unlike standard vinyl, DTF prints are soft, stretchy, and breathable so they move with the garment.
The result is a full-colour, photo-quality print that bonds permanently to the fabric. DTF works on virtually any material including cotton, polyester, blends, denim, nylon, and more, making it one of the most versatile decorating methods available today.

Why Choose
Monkey Transfers?
Not all DTF suppliers are created equal. At Monkey Transfers, we print in-house at our Melbourne facility using a commercial-grade 8-colour ink system. While most DTF printers rely on a standard 4-colour CMYK setup, our printer uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Orange, and Green, giving us a dramatically wider colour gamut. The difference is visible: our prints are sharper, richer, and more vibrant.
We also use high-grade, eco-friendly approved inks that are designed to last. Our transfers won't crack, peel, or fade even after repeated washes. If you've been let down by inferior transfers in the past, you'll notice the difference the moment you peel your first Monkey Transfers sheet.

6-Second Instant Hot
Peel: Built for Speed
One of our most popular features is our 6-second instant hot peel. Traditional DTF transfers require you to wait for the film to cool before peeling, which slows your entire production line. With Monkey Transfers, you press for 6 seconds and peel straight away. No waiting. No cold-peeling. Just fast, consistent results every time.
This might sound like a small detail, but for decorators pressing dozens or hundreds of garments, that time saving adds up fast. Double your production time without sacrificing a single millimetre of quality and that's the Monkey Transfers advantage.

Gang Sheets:
Maximum Value Per Print
Our DTF transfers for band merch tees are sold as gang sheets, a 58cm x 100cm artboard onto which you arrange all of your designs. Whether you're printing a bold chest print, a small left-chest logo, or a full back design, you can fit multiple artworks onto a single sheet and get maximum value from every print. It's an incredibly efficient format for t-shirt businesses managing multiple designs or styles at once.
Gang sheets start from just $24.95 (inc. GST), with bulk pricing available for larger orders. Discounts start at 5% off from 10 sheets and scale up to 20% off for orders of 100 or more. Whether you're testing a new design or running a full production batch, our pricing structure is built to grow with your business.

Full Colour, Gradients,
and Photos: No Limits
One of the biggest advantages of DTF over other decorating methods is the ability to print complex artwork without compromise. Gradients, shadows, photographic images, fine detail, all of it is achievable with DTF heat transfers. If your design can be saved as a high-resolution PNG or PDF with a transparent background, we can print it.
Our 8-colour ink system means colours like vivid oranges, rich greens, and subtle mid-tones are reproduced with remarkable accuracy. We recommend customers work in CMYK and order our Colour Chart ($49.95) if colour precision is critical to their brand. It's a worthwhile investment that takes the guesswork out of your print orders.
