YOUR DTF Transfers

DTF TRANSFERS & WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

What is a DTF Transfer

DTF or Direct To Film Transfers are made by printing water based inks onto a film which then goes through a process of applying an adhesive to the ink and then heating it.

What can I print on?

Your DTF transfer is very versatile and can be applied to various items. Cotton T shirts, Polyester Material, Leather & many more surfaces. If you are unsure of the fabric you wish to print on best to make a test before you print on any expensive items.

Certain garments such as waterproof jackets often have a chemical coating which prevents your DTF Transfer from adhering correctly – please test using a sample before running your job.

Washing Instructions

Your DTF Transfer is very durable, however to maintain the condition of your garment transfer we would advise:

  • Wash at a low temperature
  • Wash inside out
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Do not iron directly onto decal/print
  • Do not use fabric softener
