Direct-to-film prints full-colour artwork onto a transfer film that presses onto almost any fabric, light or dark, cotton or synthetic. FastEditor checks the upload, builds the transfer with the correct white layer, and nests multiple designs onto a gangsheet ready for the press.
Request a demoDTF is the most fabric-agnostic textile technique, and its constraints are about the transfer, not the garment.
The white layer is everything. A DTF transfer carries its own white underprint, so it works on dark and coloured fabrics without a separate underbase step. That white layer has to follow the artwork exactly, including inside gaps and around soft edges, or the transfer shows a white halo. FastEditor generates the white layer from the artwork automatically.
Resolution is judged at print size. As with any full-colour raster technique, the design is validated at the physical size it will press, not per file.
Fine gaps and thin lines. Very thin lines and tiny knockouts can lift off the film in weeding, so line weight is checked against the product minimum.
The printer receives a print-ready transfer file with the colour layer and matched white layer, nested onto a gangsheet where several designs share one film.
The production-ready file goes straight to the film printer.
DTF covers full-colour textile work where the fabric mix is unpredictable:
Garments are pre-configured in the Product Hub. See the full supplier ecosystem.
Full-colour designs on a wide range of fabrics, including dark and synthetic garments where DTG is harder. The transfer carries its own white layer, so it presses onto almost anything.
FastEditor generates the white underprint from the artwork automatically, matching it to the colour layer including gaps and soft edges, so the pressed transfer has no white halo.
A single sheet of film with several designs nested together to use the film efficiently. FastEditor nests the designs and outputs the gangsheet ready for the film printer.
Yes. Because the transfer includes its own white layer, it works on dark and coloured fabrics without a separate underbase step.
A print-ready transfer file with the colour and matched white layers, scaled to the print area and nested onto a gangsheet, generated on proof approval.
PNG, JPG, SVG, AI, EPS, PDF and TIFF. Raster files are resolution-checked and enhanced, and the white layer is built automatically from the artwork.
