In the dynamic world of screen printing, staying ahead means embracing innovation and efficiency. Tim, the owner of a successful print shop in Seattle, faced challenges with high-color-count screen printing designs. The time-consuming setups, extensive screen cleaning, and need for bulky equipment were impacting his productivity and profitability. Determined to find a better solution, Tim discovered Click Peel’s premium Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers, and his business hasn’t been the same since.
The Challenge with High-Color-Count
Screen Printing
Handling designs with more than four colors was a complex task for Tim’s team:
Lengthy Setups
Preparing multiple screens for high-color designs consumed valuable time.
Intensive Screen Cleaning
Post-production cleanup was labor-intensive, reducing overall efficiency.
Bulky Equipment Needs
Operating a large 12-color automatic press took up significant floor space and required substantial maintenance.
Limited Throughput
The complexity limited the number of orders they could handle simultaneously.
Switching to DTF Transfers for Orders Over Four Colors
Tim made a strategic decision to pivot to DTF transfers for all orders exceeding four colors. Here’s how this move benefited his business:
Streamlined Production
Eliminated the need for multiple screens, reducing setup time drastically.
Time Savings
No more intensive screen cleaning, allowing the team to focus on fulfilling more orders.
Smaller Footprint
Replaced the massive 12-color press with a simpler automatic machine, freeing up workspace.
Cost Efficiency
Lowered operational costs by reducing equipment maintenance and labor expenses.
“Switching to Click Peel’s DTF transfers was a game-changer,” Tim shares. “We saved so much time on setups and cleanups that we could take on more projects without increasing overhead.”

Energy Savings
Smaller equipment consumed less power, contributing to cost savings and environmental friendliness.
“We didn’t realize how much the large press was holding us back until we moved to a smaller one,” Tim notes. “It’s more efficient and suits our needs perfectly now that we’re using DTF transfers for complex designs.”
