Whether you're looking to create vibrant t-shirts, hats, bags, or any other textile product, our DTF transfers ensure vivid colors and long-lasting prints.
What is DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing?
DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a revolutionary heat transfer technology that allows for vibrant, high-quality prints on a variety of fabrics. Unlike traditional screen printing or heat transfer vinyl, DTF printing does not require weeding or cutting, making it a faster and more efficient method for producing custom apparel with intricate designs and full-color graphics.
This versatile printing process works on cotton, polyester, blends, and even dark-colored fabrics without the need for pre-treatment. Whether you’re looking for custom t-shirts, hoodies, bags, or promotional apparel, DTF printing ensures crisp, detailed designs with superior durability and washability.
Why Choose Our DTF Transfers?
Longevity of DTF Printing: How Durable is It?
One of the biggest advantages of DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is its exceptional durability, especially when compared to traditional heat transfer methods. With proper care, DTF prints can withstand 50+ washes while maintaining their vibrant colors and flexibility.
Unlike screen printing, which can crack over time, or vinyl, which may peel, DTF prints are designed to last. The hot-melt adhesive used in DTF printing bonds deeply with the fabric, ensuring that the design remains intact without fading, cracking, or peeling even after multiple washes.
How to Care for DTF Printed Apparel for Maximum Longevity
To keep your DTF-printed garments looking fresh and vibrant, follow these care instructions:
✔
Wash Inside Out – This minimizes direct friction on the design.
✔
Use Cold Water – Hot water can break down the ink and adhesive faster.
✔
Mild Detergent Only –
Avoid harsh detergents or bleach that can weaken the print.
✔
No Fabric Softeners – These can degrade the adhesive, leading to premature wear.
✔
Air Dry When Possible –
High heat from dryers can weaken the bond over time. If using a dryer, opt for a
low heat setting.
✔
Avoid Ironing Directly on the Print – If necessary, turn the garment inside out and iron on low heat.
By following these simple steps, your DTF-printed apparel will stay vibrant, smooth, and intact for years to come.
