Heat Transfer using a Heat Press

HTV (heat transfer vinyl)

is a type of vinyl that sticks to fabric and other surfaces when you apply a regulated amount of heat and pressure.  After creating your design you use a cutting machine to cut your design out.

Printable HTV

involves using a standard printer to print out the design you created onto special paper and then cutting the design out on a cutting machine, cut with scissors or just press as is to the material.  

DTF (direct to film)

is a process that involves printing designs directly onto a special film, which is then transferred onto various materials. 

Once I  complete a design I upload it to DTF VA, a company based in Yorktown, VA, to print them out and then I press them on the material.  I use them for very detailed and intricate designs that just cannot be achieved using the other methods I have access to.
