Here’s how DTF heat transfer printing typically works:

3. Printing: The DTF film with the adhesive layer is loaded into a DTF printer. These printers are specially designed for this process. The printer uses a combination of heat and pressure to fuse the ink from the film onto the fabric.
4. Heat Transfer: After printing, the DTF film is laid on top of the textile, adhesive side down. A heat press machine is then used to apply heat and pressure to the film, causing the design to bond with the fabric.
