DTF: The Revolutionary Technique for Customization

DTF: The Revolutionary Technique for Customization

Are you aware of how easy, cheap and efficient it is to customize any garment with DTF transfers? A lot of people will agree on saying that Direct to Film is the new revolutionary method for textile printing. But to decide on whether it is the ultimate option or not, one must understand it first. 


DTF, or Direct To Film, consists of a transfer that prints on cotton, polyester, nylon, denim, silk, and leather. A transfer is like a sticker that contains a mix of powder and ink to be printed by a heat press over any garment. This technique is possible thanks to a combination of temperature, pressure, and time. In just a few words, it’s a process that after printed on the film or paper, while the ink is still fresh, a thermo adhesive powder is added before using a heat press to transfer the design over any item. 


Now that the general idea of DTF is clear. We need to know why people will choose this technique over all the other printing methods. Here are some of the benefits that DTF will bring into your work:


  • You only need a small inversion to start.
  • Full-color prints on a lot of fabric options, on any color. 
  • Elasticity and durability. Wash-off resistance. 

If you think about it, this technique will save you money, time and effort, no matter what. You can start your clothing empire with this! However, it is necessary to try and make mistakes, so you can become a DTF expert.
