About UV DTF Printing
UV DTF printing allows you to print vibrant, long-lasting designs that adhere to virtually any material — no heat, water, or pretreatment needed.
Instead of printing directly on the surface, the design is printed on a UV DTF film, coated, and then transferred for a clean, professional look.
Compared to vinyl or sublimation, UV DTF delivers higher color vibrancy, superior durability, and a smooth, glossy texture that feels premium and looks stunning on any surface.

Product details
1. Material Compatibility
Our DTF transfers adhere perfectly to cotton, polyester, blends, canvas, and more. No need for pre-treatment — just press and go.
2. Application Instructions
Press at 300–320°F (150–160°C) for 9–10 seconds using highest pressure.
Peel immediately while hot — our transfers are designed for hot peel application.
For optimal durability, apply a second press with a cover sheet (like parchment paper or Teflon) for 5 seconds.
3. Durability & Washability
DTF prints are fade-resistant, stretchable, and machine-washable. They hold up well after 50+ washes when proper care instructions are followed (cold wash, inside-out, low heat drying).
4. Artwork & File Requirements
For custom transfers, we recommend 300 DPI PNG files with transparent background. Ensure colors are set in RGB. Avoid low-resolution images to maintain print quality.
FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
1. What is DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing?
DTF is a printing method where designs are printed on a special film and then transferred onto fabric using heat and pressure. It works on cotton, polyester, blends, and more — without the need for weeding or pretreatment.
2. Are your transfers ready to press?
Yes! All our DTF transfers arrive pre-printed and ready to press. Just place the transfer on your garment, use a heat press, peel, and you're done.
3. What fabrics can I use your DTF transfers on?
Our transfers work on a wide variety of fabrics including 100% cotton, polyester, cotton/poly blends, canvas, and more.
4. How should I care for garments with DTF prints?
Wash inside-out in cold water and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and do not iron directly on the print for long-lasting results.
5. Do you offer custom designs or accept my own artwork?
Yes! You can upload your own design or artwork when ordering. Make sure the file meets our quality guidelines for the best print result.
