DTF Custom Heat Transfer Instructions

WHAT IS DTF AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

DTF or Direct to Film transfers is the newest innovation to the printing industry. This new process will make your custom orders a breeze! Just drop your artwork into the box we provided and let us do the work for you. All you need is a heat press!

DTF is an alternative process to DTG, (Direct to Garment.) and screen printing. It uses water-based ink that is printed on a release film that is then applied with adhesive glue and cured thru a dryer. This new technology gives you the customer the choice to print full-color transfers to apply to dark or light garments on cotton, polyester, 50/50, nylon, etc. With no minimums!

DTF transfers give you the edge on your competition with sharp, colorful prints that look amazing on all sorts of fabrics!
