DTF (Direct-to-Film) is printing a design directly to a film, and transferring the design into a shirt or other substrates by using a heat press mechanism.
Q2: What Type of Ink is Used in DTF?
DTF uses a pigmented-based ink. The colors are printed through a 4-color process using Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) with White ink printed on top. The colors are printed in this reverse order because when pressing the DTF transfer onto the fabric, the white ink must be on the bottom.
Q3: Is DTF Limited to just Cotton or Polyester Textiles?
No. Unlike other printing methods a DTF transfer can go onto any type of garment, including cotton, 50/50, polyester and tri-blends.
Q4: How Do I Press My Design?
- Set the Heat Press Temperature to 320-350 F,
- Press for 12-15 seconds with high pressure,
- Wait for the DTF Transfer to cool down,
- Peel the DTF transfer from the corner.
Q5: Must I Apply the DTF Transfer As Soon As it is Printed?
A: No. You can either press a DTF transfer as soon as it is ready or store it for later application.
