How is DFT different from traditional heat transfers?

The difference between DFT and old-school heat transfers is night and day. Traditional transfers were thick, rubbery, and prone to cracking or peeling after a few washes. DFT, on the other hand, uses advanced digital printing and adhesive technology that bonds the ink directly into the garment’s surface at a molecular level.

The result is a soft, flexible print that feels better than older transfer products. You can wash it repeatedly without the design fading or separating from the fabric. It’s also fully compatible with modern apparel fabrics like cotton, fleece, polyester blends, and ringspun tees. Essentially, DFT combines the detail and speed of digital printing with the durability and professional look of traditional screen printing, without the drawbacks.
