What is a DTF Transfer?

DTF (Direct to Film) is an advanced printing method that uses specialized inks to print full-color designs onto film sheets. These are later applied to fabric using heat and pressure.

At DTF Print Depot, we deliver premium-quality DTF prints ready for heat application — no weeding, no background, just vibrant results.

🔧 Heat pressing is done by the customer. We ship the printed transfer only.
