What is DTF?
Direct to Film (DTF) transfers are full-color designs printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder and cured. You press them onto a shirt with a heat press — no screens, no weeding and no color limits. They work on almost any fabric and color, which is why brands, print shops, schools and makers use them for merch, team shirts, events and gifts. Learn how gang sheets work.
