DTF Printing

What is 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.

What fabrics can you print on with DTF?

DTF works on cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, leather, denim, canvas, and many other fabrics. It's one of the most versatile printing methods available.

How durable are DTF prints?

DTF prints are extremely durable and can withstand 50+ washes without fading or cracking when properly cared for. We recommend washing inside out in cold water.

Can you print on dark-colored garments?

Yes! DTF printing works perfectly on any color, including black. We use a white underbase to ensure vibrant colors on dark fabrics.
