Original price was: R100.00.Current price is: R65.00.

This starter pack for DTF sublimation hack is clever workaround that enables the transfer of designs onto cotton fabrics, which are typically not compatible with sublimation inks. This method involves a similar process of printing on film and applying powder, but with the limitation that it only works on white or light-colored shirts since the sublimation ink cannot produce white color. The DTF sublimation hack is a creative solution for those who want to explore the possibilities of fabric printing without investing in a full DTF setup.

Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is a versatile and innovative method that allows for high-quality transfers onto a variety of fabrics, including those that are dark or brightly colored. This process involves printing a design onto a special film, applying a powder adhesive, and then transferring the design onto the fabric using a heat press. The result is a vibrant, detailed, and durable print that can withstand washing and wear. DTF printing is particularly advantageous because it does not require weeding or cutting, making it a more efficient option for producing custom apparel.

Price is  for 5 sheets of film (you can print on either side) with 50grams of white powder (which can be reused).
