Heat transfer dtf is a process of printing on textiles. The process involves the direct transfer of a design by first printing it on a special film and then using a heat press to transfer the design to a garment.
Before we dive into how to make DTF transfers, let's take a look at the essential equipment you'll need:
DTF transfer printer: A device designed to use DTF printing. Is it possible to use a regular printer for DTF transfers? The answer is no. You'll need to convert a standard inkjet or laser printer for DTF.
DTF ink: It's specially formulated ink that is really vibrant and durable when you're transferring it to fabric.
DTF transfer film: This film allows the design to be held before being transferred to the fabric.
Hot melt adhesive powder: This powder applied to the printed design helps to adhere the design to the fabric when printing on top of the fabric using the heat press process.
Heat press: To transfer the printed design from the film to the garment.
