DTF transfers, also known as Direct to Film printing, is a cool technique used mainly in the graphic t-shirt world. . In a nutshell, it's printing a design onto a special film using a printer that's loaded with special DTF inks. Once an image is printed, it is then dusted with a powder that once cured will act as the adhesive that allows it to be pressed onto any type of fabric! The unique and awesome thing that sets DTF apart from other T-Shirt Transfers is that it can be applied to ANY color fabric made of ANY material!
Once the design is printed on the film, you carefully place it on the fabric you want to print on, making sure the adhesive side is facing down. Then comes the fun part - using a heat press, you apply heat and pressure. This activates the adhesive, making the design stick to the fabric. Voila! You've got yourself a vibrant and durable print on your textile.
What's great about DTF printing is that it allows you to print intricate designs with lots of colors on all sorts of fabrics, even dark-colored ones. It's like magic for printing on garments!
