DTF (Direct to Film) Printing Questions

DTF printing involves printing designs onto a special film, which is then transferred onto fabric using heat. It produces vibrant, durable prints on various textiles.

DTG prints directly onto the garment using specialized inks, while DTF prints on a film first and then transfers the design to fabric. DTF is more versatile for different fabrics and materials, while DTG is better for direct fabric printing.

Silk screen printing uses a stencil to apply ink to fabric, while DTF uses a printed film for transfer. DTF is faster for small runs and detailed designs, whereas silk screening is ideal for large volumes.

Vinyl printing uses sheets of material that are cut and applied to garments, while DTF printing is a full-color process. DTF allows for more intricate designs with gradient colors compared to vinyl.

Sublimation only works on polyester fabrics and bonds ink with the fabric in gas form, whereas DTF can be used on various materials, including cotton.

Embroidery uses thread to stitch designs onto fabric, while DTF printing uses ink on a transfer film for a more vibrant and complex design.

DTF (Direct to Film) is a cutting-edge print method that lets you create vibrant, long-lasting designs on almost any fabric. It’s the ultimate way to get pro-quality prints — without the hassle.

Here’s how it works:
Your design is printed onto a special film using eco-friendly inks. A powdered adhesive is applied and cured, creating a ready-to-press transfer. Then you simply heat press it onto your fabric of choice.

✅ Vivid color, high detail
✅ Works on dark and light fabrics

✅ Long-lasting + flexible finish

DTF transfers from Cheapest Print on Demand stick beautifully to:

  • Cotton – Classic tees, hoodies, totes
  • Polyester – Great for jerseys & sportswear
  • Blends – Cotton/poly combos hold color well
  • Silk & Satin – For a custom luxe look
  • Nylon – Perfect for windbreakers, bags
  • Lycra & Spandex – Flexible and durable

If it holds heat, DTF can stick to it. 💥

Whether you’ve got a heat press or just a household iron — here’s how to get a clean, durable finish:

🛠️ With a Heat Press (Best Results)

1. Preheat Your Press
Set to 300°F–310°F with medium to firm pressure.

2. Place the Transfer
Design facing down on the fabric, use heat tape if needed to hold transfer sheet in place. Cover with parchment or Teflon.

3. First Press
Press for 40 seconds.

4. Cool & Peel

 Let the film cool for 30 seconds to 1 minute before peeling — especially if your design includes fine details. Repress if needed.

5. Final Press
Cover again and press for another 40 seconds to seal and smooth the print.

🔥 Using a Household Iron

1. Heat It Up
Set to the hottest setting (cotton/linen). No steam.

2. Place the Design
Position the film and tape it if needed. Cover with parchment or a silicone sheet.

3. Press in Sections
Press firmly for 8–10 seconds per section. Don’t slide the iron — press and hold.

4. Peel & Press Again
Wait a few seconds, then peel. If parts lift, press again. Finish with a second press using parchment.

Want your designs to last? Follow these simple tips:

  • Wait 24 hours before first wash
  • Wash inside out, cold water, gentle cycle
