Description
SupaDTF Transfer — Single Image, 5″ × 5″
SupaDTF is Supacolor’s 100% digital Direct-to-Film transfer, built for flexibility and fast turnarounds. A custom digital white-ink process gives you brighter whites and vibrant CMYK color, a supa-soft feel, and no glue lines around the design. A lower-temperature adhesive means less risk of heat marks, so you can decorate cotton, blends, and plain (non-sublimated) polyester.
This 5″ × 5″ single-image transfer has no minimum — order one or a thousand. Left-chest logos, flat cap fronts, and brand marks.
Why Printers Choose SupaDTF
1️⃣
No Minimum Order
Order a single transfer — ideal for samples, one-offs, names/numbers, and on-demand fulfillment with zero setup fees.
📏
Oversized-Ready
Printed on a continuous roll up to 22″ wide, so it handles oversized and high-mix designs that sheets can’t.
🖌️
Soft Feel, No Glue Lines
100% digital print leaves no hard adhesive edge — a soft hand that disappears into the garment.
🔥
Lower-Temp Adhesive
Presses cooler to reduce heat and scorch marks, opening up cotton, blends, and plain polyester.
💧
Water-Based & OEKO-Tex
Same water-based ink technology as every Supacolor product, on an OEKO-Tex Standard 100 accredited sheet.
🌈
Bright, Vivid CMYK
A custom white-ink process delivers brighter whites and punchy full-color detail.
How to Apply Your SupaDTF Transfer
1
Set your heat press
Use a commercial heat press with adjustable, even pressure (around 40 PSI, medium/firm). Follow the temperature on the instruction sheet included with your order.
2
Position printed-side down
Place the transfer on the garment with the printed side facing down against the fabric. Align carefully and keep it clear of seams, pockets, and collars.
3
Press
Cover with a non-stick/parchment or Teflon sheet and press for about 8–12 seconds at the recommended temperature and pressure.
4
Cold peel
Wait for the transfer to cool completely, then peel the carrier off slowly and smoothly.
5
Post-press
Re-cover with Teflon or parchment and press again for 5–8 seconds to maximize wash durability.
What Makes SupaDTF Different
SupaDTF pairs digital DTF flexibility with Supacolor’s quality. Because it’s 100% digital with no screens, there are no minimums and no setup fees — and the digital print leaves no glue lines and a noticeably softer hand than typical transfers.
- Best for short runs, one-offs, names/numbers, rush jobs, and on-demand fulfillment
- Use on cotton, cotton/poly blends, and plain non-sublimated polyester
- Not for sublimated or patterned polyester or migrating dyes (e.g. dark denim) — use a Blocker or Softshell Blocker transfer instead
- Colors are vibrant CMYK; for exact Pantone/PMS matching or metallics, choose the Wearable line
- Always test-press a scrap garment before a full run
Choosing & Using This Transfer
What does “single image” mean?
One design per transfer at this size. Need several designs on one sheet? Ask about the SupaGang option, which fits multiple images on a 22″-wide gang sheet.
How do I pick a size?
The size is the maximum design area. This is the 5″ × 5″ option. Compare all sixteen sizes in the chart below and pick the one that fits your placement.
SupaDTF or Wearable?
SupaDTF wins on flexibility, soft hand, and small quantities. For the absolute sharpest color, exact Pantone matching, or the longest life on big runs, the Wearable line has the edge.

Before You Press
Use a real heat press
Not for a household iron or Cricut Easy Press — SupaDTF needs a press with consistent, even pressure.
Cold peel
Let the transfer cool fully before peeling. Peeling hot can lift the design.
Not for sublimated poly
Don’t use on sublimated or patterned polyester or fabrics whose dye migrates — use a Blocker / Softshell Blocker transfer.
Custom & made to order
Each transfer is custom-printed to your artwork, so it’s non-returnable. Confirm your art and size before ordering.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SupaDTF transfer used for?
SupaDTF is Supacolor’s 100% digital DTF transfer for short runs, one-offs, names and numbers, oversized prints, and on-demand work. There are no minimums and no setup fees, so it’s the most economical Supacolor option for small quantities and customization.
What fabrics can I press it on?
Cotton, cotton/poly blends, and plain non-sublimated polyester. It is not designed for sublimated or patterned polyester or fabrics whose dye migrates (like dark denim) — for those, use a Blocker transfer, or a Softshell Blocker for softshell fabrics.
Hot peel or cold peel?
Cold peel. Let the transfer cool completely after pressing, then peel the carrier off slowly and smoothly. A 5–8 second post-press under a Teflon or parchment sheet improves wash durability.
What press settings should I use?
Use a commercial heat press with medium/firm pressure (around 40 PSI), printed side down, for about 8–12 seconds. Follow the exact temperature on the instruction sheet included with your order, and test-press a scrap garment first. Full pressing instructions are on Supacolor’s website.
Can I use a household iron or Cricut Easy Press?
No. SupaDTF needs a heat press that delivers consistent, even pressure. A household iron or Cricut Easy Press can’t maintain the pressure required for a clean, durable bond.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum — you can order as few as one transfer. That makes SupaDTF ideal for samples, single pieces, and on-demand fulfillment.
Can I print Pantone colors or metallics?
SupaDTF prints vibrant CMYK and gets close to most colors, but it does not do exact Pantone/PMS matching or metallics. If you need a precise brand-color match, choose the Wearable transfer.
What does “single image” mean, and what is SupaGang?
Single image means one design per transfer at the size you order. If you want multiple designs on one sheet, ask about the SupaGang option, which fits multiple images on a 22″-wide gang sheet.
How durable and washable is it?
Applied correctly, SupaDTF is rated to last 50+ washes. Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, tumble dry low or hang dry, and avoid bleach, fabric softener, and ironing directly on the print.
Which size should I order?
Pick by your design’s maximum dimensions. Sizes range from 2″ × 2″ up to 12″ × 17″. See the size guide on this page and choose the option that fits your placement.
How does shipping work?
SupaDTF transfers are custom-printed and drop-ship directly from Supacolor. Production typically takes a few business days — message us for the current turnaround on your order.
Are SupaDTF transfers returnable?
Because each transfer is custom-printed to your artwork, it’s a non-returnable product. Please confirm your design and size before ordering.
