DTF Printing
DTF (Direct to Film) is a printing method where designs are printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder, and then heat-pressed onto fabric. It works on almost any material and produces vibrant, durable prints.
DTF works on cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, leather, denim, canvas, and many other fabrics. It's one of the most versatile printing methods available.
