  2. Direct-to-film (DTF) printing is a heat transfer process that allows you to print full-color designs onto garments of any color, including dark colors. DTF transfers are created by printing your design onto a special film using a modified inkjet printer. The film is then coated with a layer of adhesive powder and heat-pressed onto the garment. DTF heat transfers are a great option for creating custom t-shirts, hoodies, and other apparel. They are also a good choice for creating small batch orders, as they can be produced quickly and easily.

  3. Step-by-Step Guide • Design your transfer: You can use any design software to create your DTF transfer. Be sure to mirror your image before printing. • Print your transfer: Load the DTF film into your modified inkjet printer and print your design. • Apply the adhesive powder: Once the transfer has been printed, sprinkle it with the adhesive powder. Be sure to cover the entire design with powder. • Heat press the transfer: Place the transfer face down on the garment and heat press it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  4. 5. Peel off the film: Once the transfer has been heat-pressed, peel off the backing film. Your design is now transferred to the garment! Tips for using DTF heat transfer • Use a white underbase: A white underbase will help to make your colors more vibrant on dark-colored garments. • Preheat the garment: This will help to ensure a good bond between the transfer and the garment. • Use a medium pressure: Too much pressure can damage the transfer. • Peel off the backing film slowly and carefully: Avoid pulling on the transfer, as this can damage it. 6. With these tips, you can easily use DTF heat transfers to create custom apparel on dark-colored garments.
