What is DTF Printing?
DTF transfers work on virtually any fabric type: cotton, polyester, cotton/poly blends, and triblends. Light garments, dark garments, it does not matter. The result is a soft, flexible heat transfer print with great stretch and durability that holds up through repeated washing.
Because there are no screens to set up and no minimums to meet, DTF is ideal for small batches, one-off designs, and large production runs alike. It is the most flexible custom apparel printing method available today.
Why Choose DTF Transfers?
Outstanding image quality and print quality on every order
What can I do with DTF?
DTF is best known for t-shirt printing, but it goes far beyond that. Our DTF printer and DigiFuzn system can handle any type of art, from simple logos to full-color photographic designs with gradients and fine detail, and print it onto a transfer you can press yourself.
You can press DTF transfers onto any fabric that bonds with heat. We have used DTF for t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, foam trucker hats, koozies, leggings, tote bags, stickers, and more. If it can take heat, it can take a DTF transfer.
For Etsy sellers, screen printers looking to expand, and anyone who owns a heat press, you can purchase the transfers from us and press your products at your own pace. From one small business to another, let us help you take your independent process to the next level.

Application Instructions
Place your garment on the heat press. Lay the DTF transfer onto the garment with the image facing up (right reading).
Press at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 seconds. Allow the transfer to cool to room temperature. Peel the transfer film. Press again for 5 to 8 seconds to finish.
DTF transfers use hot peel technology. Make sure your press is compatible with heat transfer application. No weeding is required, unlike traditional vinyl transfers. There is no drying time when using cotton garments. Some garments may require cooling before peeling. Not recommended for silks, velvets, or coated fabrics.
Will the Design Be Mirrored?
No. Design your artwork exactly as you want it to appear on the finished garment. The transfer is printed as a mirror image with white ink on the surface, but when you press it face up, the final result matches your original design.
File Type Requirements
CMYK color mode. PNG format with a fully transparent background. 300 to 500 dpi resolution. PNG cannot exceed 21 inches across. Files must be sent at the exact size you want them printed.
