DTF, or direct to film, is a process that involves printing designs onto a specialised film using commercial print machines. These prints are then directly transferred onto the garment using a heat press, ensuring high precision and accurate replication of the original design on various fabric types.

The DTF printing process involves several steps. First, the design is printed on the film, with a white layer serving as the base and vibrant colours layered on top to achieve optimal vibrancy and accuracy. A powder is then applied to the printed film, acting as an adhesive during the transfer process. After a matter of seconds in a heat press, the film is firmly attached to the clothing. Once cooled, the film can be peeled off, leaving behind a flawless DTF application.

DTF Printing offers exceptional versatility, allowing printing on a wide range of fabrics. It addresses the challenges faced by alternative print methods when customising polyester garments, as it can deliver complex, high quality prints even on traditionally difficult materials. Furthermore, it's lightweight and soft to touch compared to alternative application methods and traditional transfers.
