DTF Transfer at Shirt Co.: How Does it Work?

Whether you run a t-shirt or other custom apparel business, a print shop, or you’re a hobbyist who simply enjoys creating game-changing graphics, DTF transfer at Shirt Co. could be your solution. The process follows these steps at our shop:

• Design Preparation: The first step in Shirt Co.’s DTF transfer process is preparing your design. Whether you’re using graphic design software to create your artwork, or you need some help from our design experts, we make sure it’s done in high resolution to guarantee crisp and clear prints. Ideal for intricate logos, photographs, and artistic illustrations, DTF transfer paves the way for complex designs with multiple colors and fine details.
• Printing on DTF Film: Once your unique design is ready, we print it onto a special DTF film using a DTF printer. These printers use pigment-based inks that provide vibrant colors and excellent durability. The printer applies a layer of adhesive powder to the printed film, which helps the design adhere to the fabric during the transfer process.

• Curing the Film: After the printing process, the DTF film is cured to set the ink and adhesive powder. This is typically done using a heat press, a heat gun, or a curing oven. This ensures that the design is ready for transfer and will adhere properly to the fabric.
• Heat Transfer: The final step is transferring the design to the fabric. Our team places the cured DTF film onto the garment and uses either a heat press or heat gun, based on the size of the design, to apply heat and pressure. The adhesive melts and bonds your design to the fabric, resulting in a vibrant, durable print.
