Frequently Asked Questions

DTF Transfers FAQ

What are DTF Transfers?

DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers are full-color, heat-applied transfers you press onto garments using a heat press. They're vibrant, durable, and work on cotton, polyester, blends, and more.

How do I apply DTF Transfers?

Apply at 275–285°F, medium-high pressure, for 10–12 seconds (8–10 seconds for polyester). Hot peel immediately. Optional: finish press for 3–5 seconds for added durability. Full pressing instructions here.

What materials do DTF Transfers work on?

DTF transfers work on cotton, polyester, tri-blends, canvas, denim, and more — both light and dark garments.

Do I need a special printer to use DTF?

Nope! You just need a heat press. We handle all the printing — just press and go.

Can I order gang sheets?

Yes! We offer custom gang sheets so you can fit multiple designs on one sheet and save. Order custom gang sheets here.

How do I apply UV-DTF Stickers?
