Direct-to-Fabric technology (DTF) printing is a magical way to apply your prints onto multiple types of fabric with the help of miniature machines. DTF stands for "direct to film. ” This means the design is printed onto a special film, which is transferred to the fabric. This way you get bright colors and nice details in your prints.
Design: Step — You build your design. You could write on a computer program to make your art or draw by hand and scan it into the computer.
Digital Printing: Once your design is finalized, it is printed onto the dedicated DTF film. Make sure you have your printer settings at the highest quality print.
Transfer the design: Lay the DTF film, design side down, onto the fabric. Use a heat press machine to press down and heat the transfer onto the fabric.
Remove the DTF Film: After the design has been transferred to the garment, gently pull away the DTF film. Here is your vivid and clear print!
