DTF
Direct to Film (DTF) Transfers
Direct to film (DTF) printing prints your design onto transfer film, covers the print with adhesive powder, cures it, and then heat presses it onto the garment. It works on multiple fabric types, including cotton, polyester and blends, and on both light and dark textiles. Browse DTF printing systems, films, powders, inks, software, printheads and ready-made or custom transfers below.
