About DTL (Dry Transfer Letters)

DTL is a specialty company based in Los Angeles, California. We focus exclusively on the design and production of custom dry transfer lettering for professional use. Our team is small, experienced, and dedicated, with a culture built around precision, reliability, and attention to detail.

Our history

DTL was founded under the leadership of Charles Platon, whose family has been in the printing industry since 1952. What began as a commercial photo studio grew into Platon Graphics, a well-known Los Angeles printing company serving national retailers and museums. With that foundation, DTL was created as a focused company built to serve a very specific need: high quality dry transfer lettering for hobbyists, professionals and institutions.

Our people

Each member of our team is trained to manage projects with care, from proofing artwork to packaging finished transfers. Our size allows us to remain approachable and flexible, while our background gives us the expertise of a much larger organization.

Leadership

DTL is owned and operated by Charles Platon. Charles grew up in the world of print, working with photographic processes from a young age. After a decade in the photo technology industry, he returned to the family business and helped Platon Graphics expand into large-format printing for major brands and institutions. At DTL, he brings the same commitment to quality and professionalism that has defined his career.

Our clients include museums, design firms, engineers, advertising agencies, manufacturers, and collectors. While their industries vary, they share a need for accuracy, clarity, and trust in the people they work with. That is what we strive to deliver.
