DTF transfers

From MakerFX Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search


Direct to Film (DTF) is a heat transfer process where designs are printed onto a special film and coated with an adhesive powder, then transferred onto a fabric surface using a heat press. Unlike heat transfer vinyl (HTV), you don’t need to cut or weed DTF designs.


We've used FM Expressions for Maker Faire Orlando Crew & Volunteer shirt transfers (2025) to speed up production
