Welcome to the world of DTF printing, also known as Direct to Film transfers—a game-changing method in custom apparel production. At MAYA TX, we are proud to be one of the leading DTF transfer providers in the United States, helping creators, entrepreneurs, and print shops bring their designs to life with vibrant, long-lasting prints.

Whether you're launching a clothing brand, growing your online store, or customizing merch for your next big event, DTF transfers offer the best mix of quality, convenience, and fabric versatility.

What Is DTF Printing and How Does It Work

DTF (Direct to Film) printing is a modern heat transfer process that prints full-color designs onto PET film, applies a specialized adhesive powder, cures the design with heat, and then transfers it onto fabric using a heat press.

Unlike DTG (Direct to Garment) printing, which is limited to cotton and requires pre-treatment, DTF works on a wide range of materials—including cotton, polyester, blends, and more—with no pre-treatment required.

How the DTF Process Works at MAYA TX

At MAYA TX, we simplify the DTF process from design to delivery. Here's how it works:

·        Upload your artwork using our Gang Sheet Builder at www.txmaya.com

·        We print it using commercial-grade DTF printers and premium inks

·        Adhesive powder is applied to activate transfer adhesion

·        The film is cured with consistent heat for a clean, press-ready result

·        We ship your transfers quickly — with free shipping on orders over $89.99

DTF Printing FAQ

Can I use a standard inkjet printer for DTF transfers?

No. DTF requires a specialized printer. For convenience, MAYA TX provides ready-to-press transfers you can apply at home or in your shop.

Is DTF better than sublimation?

Yes, especially for fabric flexibility. DTF works on more materials and doesn’t require polyester or white blanks.

How long do DTF transfers last?

When applied correctly, our prints last over 50 washes with no cracking or fading.

Do DTF prints peel?

Not with proper application. Our adhesive powder ensures strong, flexible bonding to fabric.
