Direct-to-film (DTF) transfers are a modern printing method used to apply vibrant, full-color designs onto fabric. Unlike traditional screen printing, DTF involves printing a design onto a special film using a water-based ink, then applying a powder adhesive to the print. Once heated, the design is transferred directly onto textiles using a heat press. This method is especially popular for its ability to work on a variety of materials—including cotton, polyester, and blends—without the need for pretreatment. DTF is known for its durability, color richness, and versatility in custom apparel production.
