What Is a DTF Sheet?

DTF (Direct-to-Film) sheets are pre-printed film transfers used to apply high-quality, full-color designs onto a variety of fabrics, most commonly t-shirts, hoodies, and other apparel items. These sheets are printed using advanced DTF printers and special ink formulations that allow the image to adhere securely to cotton, polyester, and blended garments.

How DTF Printing Works

DTF printing starts with a digital artwork file, which is printed onto a DTF film using DTF pigment ink. After printing, the wet ink is coated with a layer of hot melt powder, which bonds the ink to the film. Once the powder is melted and cured, the film is ready to be heat pressed onto fabric, creating a vibrant and durable image.

Advantages of Custom DTF Transfers

  • Vivid Colors & Fine Detail: Prints can capture gradients, shadows, and photographic elements with precision.
  • Compatible with Various Fabrics: Works on cotton, polyester, tri-blends, fleece, and more.
  • No Weeding: Unlike vinyl, there's no need to cut or remove excess material manually.
  • Low MOQ: Order exactly what you need—perfect for small businesses and print-on-demand shops.
