Don’t settle for ordinary DTF prints. At Shinobi Transfers, we run New Zealand’s only 6-head, 9-colour DTF printer (CMYK + RGOB) — delivering an unmatched colour gamut, richer tones, and sharper gradients that other setups simply can’t achieve.
While most DTF printers in NZ are running 2 or 3 heads and printing at lower pass rates (often under 8-pass), we push beyond — producing ultra-smooth detail, consistent opacity, and long-lasting vibrancy every single time.
Whether you’re printing for your brand, clients, or your shop — our Online Gang Sheet Builder makes it effortless. Upload your artwork, arrange your designs, and order in minutes. We’ll handle the rest with precision and pride.
Get your transfers from New Zealand’s DTF professionals — not hobbyists playing print shop.
