DTF stands for Direct To Film. This technique involves printing a design directly onto a film, applying adhesive powder then transferring it to a T-shirt made of cotton, polyester, or blends using a heat press. Despite popular belief this is a very old technology. Screen Printed Transfers have been around for years and are prepared in the same fashion. The advantage of DTF is you have no need to make screens, simply print the transfer with an appropriate inkjet printer. This makes DTF great for short runs and even single prints using full colour.
