Printing DTF

What is DTF printing?

DTF (Direct to Film) printing is a digital printing technique that allows images to be transferred directly to textiles and objects. It is an efficient and economical printing method for personalizing clothing, accessories and textile decorations.

With our DTF printing service, PrintMyDTF.com, we use water-based inks to print high-resolution images on DTF transfer boards. These DTF transfer boards can then be pressed onto textiles to transfer the images onto the fabric.

DTF printing is ideal for personalization needs, whether for small or large volumes, for custom or mass orders, for professional quality products and for applications that cannot be screen printed or Thermal transfer. It is often used to personalize clothing, fashion accessories, sports equipment, signage, promotional items and decorative elements.

At PrintMyDTF.com, we also offer cutting and finishing services to help you create professional finished products ready for use, using DTF transfer boards. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information about our DTF printing services, or to place a DTF transfer order.

Are there contours in DTF?

DTF (Direct to Film) printing is a digital printing technique that allows images to be transferred directly to textiles, providing great flexibility for personalizing clothing, accessories and textile decorations.


Regarding borders, it is important to note that unlike traditional four-color transfers, in DTF there is no border around the prints. This means that printed images can be pressed directly onto the fabric, without white or colored edges that typically surround four-color process prints. This allows for more professional and aesthetically pleasing results, with images that blend seamlessly into the fabric.


This lack of edging is a huge competitive advantage for professionals using DTF printing, as it allows them to create more professional and aesthetically pleasing finished products.


At PrintMyDTF.com, we offer professional-quality DTF printing services to help you create exceptional quality finished products. Please feel free to contact us for more information about our DTF printing services or to place an order.

Do you print express DTF transfers?

At PrintMyDTF.com, we understand that some projects require shorter printing times. That's why we offer different printing time options to meet our customers' needs.


We have three printing deadline offers: D+4, D+3, D+2 and D+1.

Our D+1 offer is the fastest, allowing you to receive your DTF transfer order within two working days after validation of the order. This option is ideal for urgent projects or for orders that have a tight deadline.


Our cut off is at midday, this means that all orders placed after midday will be considered placed the following day. For example, if you order express at 10 a.m. on 01/10, your order will leave no later than 03/10. If you order at 3 p.m., it will leave no later than 04/10.


Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information on our express printing lead times or to place a DTF transfer order. We will do our best to meet your printing lead time needs.

DTF transfers Textile

Do DTF prints hold up to washing?

DTF (Direct to Fabric) prints are designed to be durable and resistant to repeated washing. However, it is important to note that the durability of the print will largely depend on the proper care given to the printed textile.


The inks used for DTF printing are water-based inks that penetrate deep into the fibers of the fabric, resulting in durable, wash-resistant prints. However, to prolong the durability of the print, it is recommended to wash the printed textile inside out and at low temperature, using a mild detergent. It is also best not to use bleach or whitening products and to avoid tumble drying.


It is important to note that even with proper care, it is normal for DTF prints to lose some of their brightness over time and washing. However, the quality of the print will still remain good and readable.


At PrintMyDTF.com, we use professional-quality inks to ensure durable, wash-resistant DTF prints. Please feel free to contact us for more information about our DTF printing services or to place an order.
