what is dtf transfer

DTF stands for Direct to Film, which is a printing process that involves printing a design directly onto a film and then transferring it to a shirt or other substrates using a heat press mechanism. DTF printing is an emerging technology that is gaining popularity in the textile industry because it is highly versatile, has reduced production time and cost, and has no color limitations. DTF printing requires a desktop inkjet printer equipped with textile inks specially designed for DTF printing, DTF powder, RIP software, and a heat press. The white ink layer is printed simultaneously with the colored ink, making it a simple alternative compared to other methods such as white toner. DTF printing is perfect for anyone looking to include T-shirt personalization or any other textile product into their cotton or polyester business with a low starting investment.
