What is DTF?

DTF printers are wide-format printers that print specially formulated color inks, followed by a white ink base. The film then runs through a machine that applies hot-melt adhesive powder and a conveyor dryer that cures the ink and powder together. All you have to do is heat press it on!

The end result is a high-quality, long-lasting print on tees, tote bags, hats, jeans, hoodies and jackets. Applied correctly, our transfers can outlast every other printing process, including direct screen printing.
