DTF Transfers, which stands for Direct to Film Transfers, are an incredible new way of transfering any image onto any material or color without having to worry about technical printing specs you may have had to worry about in the past.

Every transfer is printed the same way with the same underbase. There are exceptions to this rule of course, but generally speaking, everything is the same on every material you transfer onto, making it much easier to have confidence that all transfers will adhere and appear as you desire on every order.

There is no limit to the color range, number of colors, or quantity that you can order in DTF transfers.  

This wasn’t possible with screen printing transfers because you needed to make sure that you were ordering the correct ink type for the garments you would be printing. It would also be quite cost prohibitive to order a small quantity of screen print transfers, especially when ordering a high color count. With DTF transfers, this is a thing of the past.

You no longer have to be a t-shirt genius. Your orders will be more profitable and consistent with DTF transfers.

If your transfer is not applying correctly, stop peeling, lay it back down, and trouble shoot as follows:

• If some or all of the design does not transfer AND it was cool when peeling, it means there was not enough heat, pressure, or time. Press your transfer again with more pressure and time first(+5-10 seconds).
• If that doesn’t work, try 15°F heat increments until you find the sweet spot. You truly cannot damage the transfer by pressing multiple times.

DTF Transfers can be pressed onto almost every type of fabric. From common fabrics like 100% cotton and 50/50 polyester blends, to more niche options like denim, leather, and satin, DTF Transfers
