Direct to Film Transfer
‘DTF” Direct To Film T-Shirt Printing – Our newest process for orders of 24 and up.

DTF or Direct To Film is a technique involves printing your design directly onto a film and then transferring it to a T-shirt made of cotton, polyester, or their blends, regardless of their color, as it can work with white ink. Takes 5-7 days for most orders with a Ready to Print Graphic. Advantages include lower pricing than Silkscreen due to no screen charges and can do full color that can stretch with the material used. We print your image onto Film then Heat Press your image on the garment. We can do Hats and Hoodies too! Super fine detail and vibrant colors with longevity for multiple washings.

“VHT” Vinyl Heat Transfer – 24-48 hour turnaround in most cases. Must be able to weed / pick design, simple lettering or Logos only.

VINYL HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING – We can take your vector image or text and output on our Graphtec vinyl cutter and heat transfer on our press for stunning T-Shirts as fast as 24 hours! This process is good for up to 24 shirts and we can do as few as ONE SHIRT in One or Two Color Vinyl. We stock many colors of vinyl and can do a single color, two color, Glitter and Metalics on shirts, bags, aprons and other cotton and polyester surfaces. We also print on safety vests and shirts on high visibility green and orange material. For a sample of what we can do see videos at the bottom of this page.

I’ve used them for A LOT of color flyers (when I say A LOT, I mean A LOT). This is one of the two places I use in San Diego. Their pricing and turn time is great. Kinko’s on the other hand is way too expensive. 5th Avenue is a much much better alternative in my opinion. Local business FTW!

Manny & his team are always, always knowledgeable, professional, easy to work with, helpful, speedy and oh yeah, they put out a great product. I worked in the personalized stationery industry for 9 years, so I promise, I know. On the very rare instance in 9 years when they made 1 single mistake, it was fixed INstantly and I still got wonderful product, right away (discounted to boot)!

The service here is great! Manny was very knowledgeable and was able to have my printing needs turned around in 24 hours. I will come back for all my printing needs.

Manny and his team are awesome! I used Printing on 5th over the past year for all things wedding. I had my Save The Dates, Invitations, Envelopes, Programs, and Name Cards all printed here and they turned out perfectly. What I loved is that you can email them a PDF and then stop by to see a proof within a few hours. In my case I usually saw something I wanted to change (or two) and they would always run as many proofs as I needed until its was perfect. The service was friendly and fast and their product is crisp and clean. I love this place!

Had to order some Same Day Business Cards and Postcards for a Trade Show last weekend since Vista F#cking Print screwed up my order! Nancy and Manny did a great job on getting my Company great cards at a fair price. I was really impressed by the selection of paper and thier machines in the Lobby so the customer can see what they are actually printing. Manny has a nice shop and I actually opened this account to post my rave review of his Printshop. Customer Service is alive and well. Beware of ordering cheap cards online! This place does a great job.

In a word…OUTSTANDING! I’ve been working with Manny and Nancy at printing on 5th for over a year and they never disappoint. I was in a real time crunch to get menus and table tents printed for the Padres opening day and Nancy came through like a champ! if you are looking for great customer service and quality of work – look no further, I highly recommend Printing on 5th.

I generally don’t write reviews on companies I deal with but I’d like to make an exception. I’m exhibiting at the San DIego convention center and I had a very last minute print job that needed to be delivered as soon as the weekend was over. I spoke with Manny from Printing on 5th Avenue and he promised it would be delivered to my hotel at 7AM Monday morning. I didn’t believe it would be a high quality job or that it would really be delivered on time. I was very mistaken! The print job was high quality and it was delivered on time as promised! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I have been using Printing on 5th for several years, and they have always provided excellent and timely service. I have probably dealt with every single employee at some point, and they have always been helpful and friendly. I recently had a rush order for several cases of specially printed envelopes. I was given a quote for cost and completion date, and it was ready early! They have helped me with numerous things, including my company’s envelopes, business cards, color copies, binding jobs, etc. And I always prefer to support a local business!

Love these folks! We have menus and other flyer cards printed here for our business (Sloppy’s Burritos) and the quality is second to none. They are fast, responsive, and work with us on any custom requests we have, no matter how last minute or random they may be. Good luck getting that from an online printing service! As an added bonus, they are fun and cool people in general 🙂 Definitely recommend them.
