FAQ about DTF heat press transfers

What is DTF?

Direct to Film (DTF)Transfer is a new technology that allows us to print your custom designs onto special film using eco-friendly, water-based CMYK+White inks.
You then heat-press that film onto your garment of choice. These garments can be ANY color and ANY material. Unlike older methods, DTF requires no weeding, no pretreating, and no minimum order quantities.
Similar to most heat transfer processes; a quality heat press is necessary for maximizing the best results.  These DTF Transfers are applied in under 15 seconds using our 4 step process. See TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS for more info.
