heat pressing DTF on dark fabrics

DTF transfers on dark garments are a powerful method to achieve vibrant, durable designs on black and other dark fabrics, enabling artwork with bold color, crisp details, and a professional finish even when the substrate would normally dull ink, which is why designers rely on opacity control and careful color planning.To maximize opacity and color fidelity on dark substrates, the approach relies on a white underbase and precise layering, because dark fabrics absorb more ink and can mute hues if the underbase isn’t properly controlled, making swatch testing and RIP-profile calibration essential parts of the workflow.
