DTF (Direct to Film) is a technology for transferring dynamic and full-colour images from a film to textiles. Unlike basic screen printing transfer technology that uses heat and pressure to transfer the design to fabric, a special film covered with powdered ink is transferred to the fabric with the help of a heat press to get the desired result on the textile. It can give excellent visual effects on light or dark materials and is durable and highly sustainable with brilliant colour.

DTF is a versatile printing technology which can print on a variety of materials such as cotton, polyester, mixed materials and even synthetic fabrics. You can creatively print to an extensive number of materials such as t-shirts, jerseys, caps, bags and others using the DTF technique.

The large sheet containing more than one drawing is known as a gang sheet; using them helps to reduce waste as multiple transfers can be placed on top of each other and printed at the same time, which is a great option for bulk orders.

Warm your heat press to 280-300 F / 155-160 C
