DTF Printing

What is DTF (Direct to Film)?

DTF printing (also known as PET heat transfer printing) is a technology that prints images directly onto a specialized PET film layer, then sprinkles adhesive powder and uses a heat press to transfer the entire printed image onto the fabric surface. This is a modern, flexible printing solution that delivers outstanding results in the fashion industry.

Outstanding Advantages

• Can print any complex design with multiple colors.
• Compatible with almost all fabric materials (Cotton, Polyester, blended fabrics, felt, canvas...) and works well on any fabric color (applies well to both light and dark fabrics).
• The print is thin and lightweight, with good elasticity, providing a soft surface and comfortable feel when worn.
• Sharp color durability, extremely strong adhesive bonding, no cracking or peeling after many washes.
• Flexible in production, suitable for both small quantity orders (print-on-demand) and mass production.

Suitable for Use On

• Fashion local brand t-shirts, uniform shirts, class shirts requiring multi-color printing.
• Various types of clothing made from diverse materials.
• Fabric accessories such as canvas tote bags, backpacks, baseball caps, aprons.
• Designs with complex patterns, many small scattered details that other printing/cutting methods find difficult to execute.

Care Instructions

• Always turn the garment inside out when washing to protect the printed surface from abrasion.
• Prefer washing with cold water or at room temperature (do not wash with hot water).
• Do not use strong detergents and do not pour detergent directly onto the print.
• Avoid drying the garment at too high a temperature as it may deform the adhesive layer.
• Do not vigorously rub directly on the printed area.
• Absolutely do not iron directly onto the DTF print surface (iron on the reverse side of the garment or place a thin cloth/parchment paper over the print before ironing).
