Yes — DTF with no minimum
Black Palms Ink offers DTF (direct-to-film) printing in Sacramento with no minimum order, so you can print a single full-color shirt or a short run. DTF works on cotton, polyester and blends and is ideal for samples, photos, gradients and individual names.
What is DTF printing?
DTF (direct-to-film) printing prints your design in full color onto a special film, which is then heat-pressed onto the garment. Because there are no screens to set up, DTF has no minimum — one shirt costs the same setup as fifty — and it handles gradients, photos, fine detail and unlimited colors.
DTF transfers can be applied to cotton, polyester and blends, which makes the method flexible across tees, hoodies, jerseys and bags.
When DTF is the right call
Small orders
Under 24 pieces? DTF is the way to go — there is no minimum.
Full-color art
Photos, gradients and detailed multi-color artwork that would need many screens.
Mixed fabrics
Cotton, polyester and blends in one order.
Quick one-offs
A single shirt for an event, a gift, or a replacement piece.
DTF vs. screen printing
DTF wins on small quantities, full-color art and personalization — no setup per color, no minimum.
Screen printing wins on larger runs of the same design — once screens are made, cost per shirt drops, and volume pricing starts at 48+ pieces.
