Direct to Film (DTF) transfer is a modern printing technique used in garment decoration where the design is printed directly onto a special film, which is then transferred onto the fabric using a heat press. This method is different from traditional screen printing as it does not involve creating an emulsion stencil. Instead, the image is created through design software and printed straight onto the film.
DTF printing offers several benefits, including full color transfers and clear background that can be applied to any color garment for vibrant images. It's also known for its flexibility and efficiency, allowing for the production of complex and detailed designs.
