What is dtf transfer?

DTF transfer refers to Direct to Film transfer, a printing process commonly used in screen printing. It involves printing an image directly onto a special type of film that can then be used to create a screen for printing on various surfaces such as apparel, promotional products, and signage.

DTF transfer offers several benefits, including high-quality image resolution, fine detail reproduction, and the ability to print complex designs with multiple colors. It is also a cost-effective and efficient method, as it eliminates the need for traditional film positives or negatives.

The process typically involves using a DTF printer to print the image onto the film, then applying a special adhesive powder to the printed design. The film is then placed on the desired substrate and heat pressed to transfer the design. Once heat-pressed, the film is peeled off, leaving the transferred image on the substrate.

DTF transfer is popular among screen printers for its versatility and ability to produce high-quality, durable prints. It is commonly used in the production of custom apparel, sports uniforms, and promotional merchandise.
