Direct to Film (DTF) is a modern printing technology that transfers full-color designs onto apparel using a special film. Unlike traditional screen printing, DTF allows for vibrant, detailed, and multi-colored designs without limitations on colors. It’s perfect for customizing clothing items like t-shirts, hoodies, and hats.
Why choose DTF?
- Unlimited Colors: You can achieve a variety of colors and shades in one design.
- Great Detail: Ideal for intricate or small designs.
- Durable: Prints last through many washes, maintaining their original look.
How should I care for garments with DTF transfers?
- Washing: Turn the garment inside out and wash in cold water with a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air-dry is best, but you can tumble dry on low heat if needed. Avoid high heat to extend the print's lifespan.
- Ironing: If needed, iron inside out and avoid the design area.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the print.
Do I need to do anything special before wearing the garment?
Nope! All DTF transfers from LogoUp are ready to wear right out of the package.
Will DTF transfers fade over time?
DTF transfers are designed to be durable, retaining their color and quality even after numerous washes when properly cared for.
Can DTF transfers be applied to any type of fabric?
DTF works well on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, blends, and more. It offers versatility across different types of apparel.
Is there a recommended first wash time after receiving my item?
For best results, wait at least 24 hours before washing a newly decorated garment to ensure the design is fully set.
How durable are DTF transfers compared to other printing methods?
DTF transfers are known for their durability, often outlasting traditional screen printing and even some heat transfer vinyl (HTV). The design remains vibrant and crack-free for a long time with proper care.
