DTF transfers

DTF Transfers are great for full colour, high quality print without the need for weeding and easy to apply. Available in low to mid-volume and cost effective print rather than screen printing and costly set-up charges and longer timescales.

Great for breast pocket logos, full size clothing designs or branding and labelling all types of clothing.

High quality full colour

DTF printing produces high-quality prints with sharp lines, vivid colours and fine details. As white based, the transfers can be printed onto a wide range of dark and coloured materials.

No weeding

Unlike traditional clothing vinyl, DTF transfers are not only full colour, but require no weeding! Simply press onto the garment without any need for pre-treatment like DTG printing.

Pressing Instructions

To achieve the best results with our DTF transfers, it’s essential to follow these simple steps. First, preheat your heat press to 160 degrees celsius. Place the DTF transfer onto the garment, ensuring it’s properly aligned. Apply firm, even pressure for 15 seconds using your heat press. Afterward, allow it to cool for a few minutes, and then gently peel off the clear backing sheet. To ensure the longevity of the print itself, cover the print with matte finishing paper and press for another 5-10 seconds – this step is essential for curing the transfer into the substrate allowing for better wash resistance and durability.
