- The transfer is heat-pressed onto the garment and the film is peeled off

Frequently asked questions
What is DTF printing?
Direct-to-film printing: artwork is printed onto film with adhesive powder, then heat-pressed onto the garment. It works on almost any fabric and colour.
Is DTF better than screen printing?
For small runs and multi-colour designs, often yes. For large runs of simple spot-colour designs, screen printing is usually cheaper and more durable.
Can DTF print on polyester sportswear?
Yes. DTF works on polyester, nylon and blends, including dark colours.
What is the MOQ for DTF printed apparel?
30 pieces per design at Ravix Pro.
Does DTF crack?
Good-quality DTF stays flexible and resists cracking when pressed correctly and washed inside out.
