Direct-to-Film
DTF printing
DTF is a heat-transfer method made for sharp, full-colour artwork. Your design is printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder, cured, and pressed onto the garment with heat.
How it looks
The result looks bright, smooth, and sharply defined. Fine lines, small details, colour gradients, and photographic artwork reproduce well. The print sits on top of the fabric with a light satin finish.
How it feels
Small designs feel thin and flexible. Large areas of solid ink feel more noticeable because the transfer forms a smooth layer over the fabric.
Best for
- Detailed or full-colour artwork
- Photos, gradients, and small text
- T-shirts, jerseys, hoodies, and tote bags
Keep in mind
It does not have the raised texture of thread. Very large solid prints can feel warmer or heavier than smaller, open designs.
Care
Wash inside out in cool water, use a gentle cycle, avoid bleach, and do not iron directly on the printed area.
