Beginner's Guide to Direct-to-Film (DTF) Transfer
This video introduces viewers to Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing, a popular new method for creating custom, high-quality designs on garments. DTF printing involves printing artwork onto a special film, adding an adhesive powder to the printed design, and curing it to bond the powder with the ink. The transfer can then be applied to fabric using a heat press, resulting in a durable, vibrant design.

Jared from Heat Press Nation guides Mayra, a newcomer, through her first DTF print, explaining each step from start to finish. They start by preparing the artwork and printing it onto the DTF film. Jared walks Mayra through the steps of applying and curing the adhesive powder, using a specialized oven to secure the bond between the powder and ink. Finally, they apply the transfer to a shirt with the HPN Signature Pro heat press, positioning and pressing it for a clean, professional result.

For anyone new to DTF, this video provides a clear, hands-on overview, showing just how easy and effective this printing method can be. Jared wraps up by inviting viewers to explore more DTF products on HeatPressNation.com and to subscribe for more content.
