What is the DTF? How do you take care of DTF printing?
What is the DTF?
DTF stands for Direct To Film. This technique involves printing your design directly onto a film and then transferring it to a T-shirt made of cotton, polyester, or their blends, regardless of their colour, as it can work with white ink.
DTF means Direct-to-film. This references a type of printer that prints the design directly to the transfer film, and then is heat pressed onto various garments and other substrates. This method can be used for just about any clothing type and creates a transfer that feels like a soft vinyl transfer.
If you need speed, flexibility, lots of colors, and decorate lots of different items, maybe DTF is a better fit. If you're sticking to athletic wear and just want to make simple projects, HTV could be a fantastic fit. One isn't clearly better than the other because they both excel at different tasks.
Let's begin with fabric and color preferences. DTF is compatible with a wider variety of fabrics, whereas DTG is better suited for organic fabrics like cotton or bamboo. DTF printing is also known to be more vibrant, regardless of the garment color.

After washing the fabrics, air dry them. The use of a tumble dryer is not suggested, as the high temperatures can have an impact on the print. Keep the t-shirts turned inside out (the print's side on the inside) when they are exposed to the sun.
Ironing
Everyone's irons, heat, pressure is different when using an iron, so test to find out what works best for you. Remember that you cannot overpress your transfers.
