Unlike traditional screen printing, DTF lets you transfer photorealistic designs, smooth gradients, and intricate lines straight onto fabric eliminating the hassle of color-separated screens.

Getting started with DTF printing on tote bags create your design using tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or Affinity Designer.

The adhesive powder ensures strong ink-to-fabric bonding during heat application. Remove surplus powder by shaking and align the film precisely, image-side down, on the bag. Apply heat at 160–170°C for 10–15 seconds using a calibrated heat press. Always check your specific fabric type and equipment specifications for best results, perform a test press before committing to your final piece.
