At SuperDTF, we specialize in high-quality DTF (direct-to-film) printing services, including professional DTF for shirts and custom dtf transfers for all your apparel needs. Our advanced dtf printer and heat press machine technology ensures vibrant, full color prints on cotton polyester and other fabrics. The process begins with precise film printing, followed by our powder shaker and curing oven process combined with adhesive powder to create press dtf transfers with a transparent background. As an innovative alternative to traditional screen printing, our transfer printers and quality dtf inks deliver exceptional results every time. We provide detailed application instructions with all our custom work, ensuring perfect results whether you're using our professional services or purchasing supplies for your own projects.

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing and sublimation are distinct garment decoration methods. DTF printing uses specialized dtf inks and powder to create transfers that work on various fabrics including cotton polyester blends. Unlike sublimation which requires polyester-based materials, DTF transfers offer superior versatility with vibrant full color results on both light and dark fabrics. Our dtf transfer process creates a durable print that feels softer than vinyl, with excellent wash-fastness and the ability to create transparent background designs.

For optimal DTF application, use specific heat press settings: 305-320°F (150-160°C) for 15-20 seconds with medium-firm pressure. When using our custom dtf transfers, pre-press your garment for 5-10 seconds to remove moisture. For best results, use a heat press machine rather than an iron. After pressing, wait 5-10 seconds before cold peeling. Our transfers come with detailed application instructions to ensure perfect results every time, whether you're pressing on cotton, polyester, or blended fabrics.

To maintain the quality of your DTF prints, wait 24 hours after application before washing. Turn the garment inside out and wash in cold or warm water (max 30°C/86°F). Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. While DTF transfers are dryer-safe, we recommend air-drying for maximum longevity. For bulk custom dtf transfers or ready to press designs, proper care will ensure your prints remain vibrant for 50+ washes. Unlike some other printing methods, quality DTF transfers won't crack or peel with proper care.

Yes! Our custom dtf transfers are versatile and can be applied to various materials beyond traditional cotton polyester garments. They work excellently on hoodies, sweatshirts, canvas bags, wood surfaces, and even cups with proper application. For specialty materials like cups or tumblers, we offer specific UV DTF transfers designed for hard surfaces. Each material may require slightly different heat press settings, which we provide in our detailed application instructions.

DTF gang sheets are an efficient way to print multiple designs on a single transfer sheet, perfect for bulk orders or varied designs. Our gang sheet builder allows you to combine different custom dtf transfers onto one sheet, maximizing efficiency and reducing costs. Each gang sheet can accommodate multiple designs of varying sizes, ideal for printing logos, designs, and graphics in full color. This is especially useful for screen printing alternatives or when creating custom heat transfers for bulk production.

DTF transfers are highly durable, lasting 50+ washes when properly applied. Unlike traditional heat transfer vinyl or screen printing transfers, quality DTF transfers are designed to maintain vibrant full color without cracking or peeling. The special adhesive powder and dtf inks create a flexible bond that moves with the fabric. When compared to sublimation or vinyl, DTF transfers offer superior durability on cotton polyester and other materials, making them ideal for both commercial and personal use.

While we strongly recommend using a heat press machine for optimal results, DTF transfers can be applied with a household iron as a last resort. If using an iron, you'll need to adjust your technique: use maximum heat setting (no steam), apply firm pressure for 30-40 seconds longer than heat press time, and work in sections. However, for consistent, professional results, especially with custom dtf transfers or gang sheets, a heat press provides even pressure and temperature control that's difficult to achieve with an iron.

DTF transfer printing and DTG printing are distinct technologies. DTF creates quality dtf transfers that can be pressed onto multiple garment types, offering more versatility than DTG. While DTG prints directly onto garments, DTF printing uses a special film and adhesive powder system that allows for transfers with transparent backgrounds and brighter colors. DTF is typically more cost-effective for small runs, doesn't require pre-treatment, and works better on dark fabrics compared to DTG printing.

For optimal DTF prints, we recommend high-resolution PNG or vector files (300 DPI minimum) with transparent backgrounds. When creating custom dtf transfers, your artwork should use RGB color mode for maximum vibrancy. Unlike screen printing transfers, DTF can handle complex gradients and unlimited colors. For gang sheet designs, we provide templates and our gang sheet builder to help optimize your layout. We accept most common file formats and can help convert your designs for perfect DTF printing results.

One of the major advantages of DTF transfer printing is that it requires minimal fabric preparation. Unlike sublimation or screen printing, there's no need for special pre-treatment chemicals. Simply pre-press your garment for 5-10 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles. Our press dtf transfers work on most fabric types, from cotton polyester blends to performance materials. For best results, ensure your fabric is clean and free from oils or fabric softeners before application.

SuperDTF's UV DTF products are specifically engineered for hard surfaces with several distinct advantages:

Superior durability for non-fabric applications

Enhanced water and scratch resistance

Exceptional adhesion to hard surfaces

More vibrant colors through UV curing

Professional-grade finish
While we recommend our regular DTF transfers for fabric applications, our UV DTF products excel in creating lasting, high-quality designs on hard surfaces. SuperDTF's expertise ensures you get the right product for your specific application needs.

At SuperDTF, we specialize in UV DTF (Ultraviolet Direct-to-Film) technology for hard surface applications. UV DTF is distinctly different from regular DTF transfers - while regular DTF is perfect for fabrics, UV DTF is specifically designed for hard surfaces like cups, tumblers, and other rigid materials. SuperDTF's UV DTF transfers create exceptionally durable, water-resistant prints with enhanced scratch resistance and superior color vibrancy. The UV curing process we use ensures a smoother finish and stronger adhesion specifically for non-fabric surfaces.

SuperDTF's UV DTF transfers are specifically designed for hard surfaces such as:

Cups and tumblers

Glass items

Plastic materials

Leather accessories

Wood surfaces
Note: UV DTF is NOT suitable for fabric applications - for fabric printing, we recommend our regular DTF transfers instead. Each SuperDTF UV DTF order includes detailed application instructions specific to your chosen materia

SuperDTF's UV DTF transfers are engineered for exceptional durability on hard surfaces. Our cup wraps and tumbler designs are dishwasher-safe when placed on the top rack, though we recommend hand washing for maximum longevity. The UV curing process creates a strong bond that resists:

Scratching and scuffing

Water exposure

Fading

General wear and tear
Unlike regular DTF transfers, our UV DTF products are specifically formulated to withstand repeated washing and environmental exposure while maintaining their vibrant appearance.

At SuperDTF, we ensure successful application through our detailed process:

Surface Preparation:

- Thoroughly clean the application surface
- Remove any oils or residues
- Ensure the surface is completely dry


Application:

- Follow temperature settings specific to your material
- Apply even pressure as directed
- Use the supplied application tools properly

Each SuperDTF UV DTF order includes comprehensive application instructions tailored to your specific product and material type. We recommend testing on a small area first for optimal results.
