Direct to Film (DTF) Transfers
Product description
(DTF) Transfers – High-Quality Fabric Printing Made Easy
Direct to Film (DTF) printing is the newest and most versatile technology in the garment printing world. Unlike traditional methods, DTF transfers allow you to press full-color graphics onto a wide range of materials—including cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics—without the limitations of DTG (Direct to Garment) or the thick, rubbery feel of Plastisol.
Your artwork is printed in vibrant CMYK + White ink directly onto a clear film, which is then coated with a heat-activated adhesive. Once printed, the transfer is applied to your final product using a heat press, offering a soft-touch finish, excellent durability, and bright, eye-catching color.
What sets DTF apart? It can be used on t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, hats, and nearly any fabric surface—even items that once required time-consuming cut-and-weed vinyl. And with cold peel technology, the application process is smooth and consistent.
