What is DTF

DTF transfer means Direct to Film transfer. It is one of the newest printing techniques on the market. This technique prints an image onto a special coated film, which enables us to transfer any image to another object. The DTF ink is printed directly onto the film and then coated with a powder which allows the image to be heat pressed onto your substrate. DTF allows for a full range of colors and images. If you design it, it can be printed and pressed. Your designs, logo, photographs and drawings are limited only by your imagination.

With DTF transfers, it is possible to print on all kinds of textiles and fabrics, your substrate options are the largest of any print technique in the market. The print area can also be customized with DTF as using the right amount of pressure when pressing can allow you to even print over pockets and zippers.

We use high quality inks and powder so the print color is vivid and resistant to stretching and tearing. With proper care your substrate can last as long, if not longer, thatn traditional screen printing. DTF technology offers faster production processes, less waste generation and wide design options.
