Why DTF needs halftones
A DTF transfer is ink on a white underbase, and every pixel either prints or it doesn't. Semi-transparent pixels, like a drop shadow or a glow, come out patchy or as a light halo around the art. Halftoning swaps those soft areas for solid dots of different sizes, so the fade still reads from a few feet away and every dot is fully printable.
How to use it
Fix fades & glows keeps everything above the solid threshold exactly as it is and halftones only the soft parts. Start here for most designs. Vintage halftone turns the whole design into one-color dots for a worn, screen-printed look.
Bigger dots hold up better and give a bolder look; smaller dots look smoother but need a high-resolution file. 45° is the classic angle. Run the result through the print-ready checker before you order.
