What is DTF textiles?
Direct-to-film (DTF) is a printing technique that involves printing your design onto a PET film, applying an adhesive powder, and then transferring the design onto the fabric using a heat press. The result: a precise, flexible, durable print compatible with a wide variety of fabrics (cotton, polyester, blends, softshell, etc.).
- No cutting or weeding required : the transfer is ready to press.
- Bright colors on both light and dark textiles.
- Very fine details : texts, logos, micro-illustrations.
- High durability : excellent wash resistance.
The main DTF textile printing formats
To meet all needs, we offer several DTF textile printing formats. You can order ready-made sheets or create your own layouts.
A4 format: ideal for small visuals and test series
The A4 format is perfect for small chest logos, discreet markings, color tests, or limited editions. For these types of needs, choose the A4 textile DTF sheet .
A3 format: the best balance of space and price
The A3 format offers a larger surface area, ideal for grouping several logos on a single sheet or printing larger designs (t-shirt backs, large illustrations, etc.). You can order your A3 prints directly from our A3 DTF textile product.
DTF printing by the meter: for large volumes
For workshops, brands, or designers looking to maximize their cost per piece, the most cost-effective option remains DTF textiles by linear meter . By maximizing the use of each meter, you significantly reduce the unit price of your transfers.

FAQ – Textile DTF printing
Does DTF textile hold up well in the wash?
Yes. When applied correctly, DTF textile treatment offers excellent wash resistance. We recommend washing inside out and avoiding high-temperature tumble drying.
Can I use DTF on polyester?
Yes, DTF textiles work very well on polyester. For delicate technical textiles, it is advisable to reduce the pressing temperature to limit the risk of migration (approximately 135°C).
Is DTF suitable for micro-details?
Yes, that's one of its main strengths. Small texts, fine logos, and detailed graphics are rendered very well, within the limits of a reasonable line thickness.
How to optimize a DTF board?
To maximize your printing costs, we recommend combining multiple visuals on a single sheet. You can use our online DTF sheet creator to organize your logos, visuals, and sizes on A4, A3, or meter paper.
