DTF, which is short for "direct to film", is a heat transfer made for decorating garments and other cloth goods.
The transfers are made by:
- Printing CMYK ink directly onto a heat transfer film or carrier
- Applying an adhesive to the wet ink
- Curing the ink and adhesive in a dryer
The finished transfer can then be stored or transferred to a garment using a heat press.
