FAQ

What is DTF printing?

DTF (Direct to Film) printing is a transfer method that prints designs directly onto a special film, which is then transferred onto fabric using a heat press. It allows for high-quality, full-color designs on various fabrics.

What types of fabrics work well with DTF transfers?

DTF transfers work great on a wide range of fabrics including cotton, polyester, poly-cotton blends, nylon, silk, and even leather. They're versatile enough for t-shirts, hoodies, bags, and more.

How durable are DTF transfers?

When applied correctly, DTF transfers are highly durable. They can withstand multiple washes without cracking, peeling, or fading. Many users report that DTF transfers last as long as the garment itself.

What's the difference between DTF and screen printing?

DTF offers more color options and detail than traditional screen printing, especially for small runs. It's also more versatile in terms of fabric types. Screen printing might be more cost-effective for very large orders.

Press with medium pressure for 12-15 seconds
