Use the design to choose the method
DTF places a printed transfer on the garment, so a full-color image does not need a separate screen for every color. That can help with artwork that changes by campaign or season. A simple one-color design at a larger quantity may be better priced with screen printing; ask for both options when cost per piece is the deciding factor.
Send the original artwork if possible
A small screenshot enlarged for a shirt will not regain missing detail. Share the original PDF, vector file or high-resolution transparent image, and specify the desired print dimensions. We will check fine text, edges and background before proofing the transfer on the garment color you choose.

Plan for the arrival date
Boring Tees serves Hyattsville from the College Park area and ships every order by UPS or USPS. Tell us the address and arrival deadline when requesting a quote. We will confirm the production schedule and carrier shipping together rather than imply that a local pickup is available.
For a dated event, use our DMV event shirt ordering guide.
Is DTF always cheaper than screen printing for a Hyattsville group?
No. The better price depends on quantity, artwork colors, garment and print locations. Send those details and we can recommend the method that fits the actual design.
