FAQ
At DTF Prints Florida, we want to make your experience smooth and stress-free. Below you’ll find answers to the 10 most common questions about DTF printing, gang sheets, and our services.
1. What is DTF printing?
DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a modern printing method where designs are printed onto a special film and then transferred onto fabric using heat and pressure. Unlike vinyl or screen printing, DTF allows for full-color, high-resolution designs with fine details. It’s versatile, long-lasting, and works on cotton, polyester, blends, and more. This makes it perfect for custom t-shirts, hoodies, uniforms, and branded apparel.
2. What are DTF gang sheets, and why should I use them?
A DTF gang sheet is a large transfer sheet where you can arrange multiple designs together. This helps maximize space and reduce costs since you’re printing several logos, graphics, or shirt designs on one sheet. Gang sheets are ideal for businesses, sports teams, and clothing brands that need multiple designs printed at once. At DTF Prints Florida, we provide easy online tools to help you build and upload your gang sheet.
3. How durable are DTF transfers?
DTF transfers are extremely durable and designed to last. With proper application, they can withstand 40–50+ washes without fading, peeling, or cracking. The ink bonds directly into the fibers of the fabric, making them stronger than vinyl or iron-on transfers. For best results, wash garments inside out in cold water and avoid high heat drying.
4. What type of materials can I apply DTF transfers to?
One of the biggest advantages of DTF is versatility. You can apply our transfers to:
-
100% cotton
-
100% polyester
-
Cotton/poly blends
-
Fleece, denim, and canvas
-
Tote bags, jackets, hoodies, and even hats
If the material can withstand heat pressing, chances are our DTF transfers will work perfectly.
5. How do I apply a DTF transfer at home or in my shop?
Applying a DTF transfer is simple, but using the right equipment is key. You’ll need a heat press (not a household iron). General application steps:
-
Preheat the garment for a few seconds to remove moisture.
-
Place the transfer film on the garment.
-
Press at the recommended temperature (usually 300–325°F) with medium pressure for 10–15 seconds.
-
Peel the film (hot or cold peel depending on transfer type).
-
Re-press for a few seconds with a Teflon sheet for extra durability.
