What is Direct to Film (DTF) Printing?
Direct to Film (DTF) printing is an advanced digital printing technique that allows for high-quality image transfers onto a variety of textiles and materials. Unlike Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing, which applies ink directly to fabric, DTF uses a special transfer film and adhesive powder to create durable and vibrant prints. This method is gaining popularity in the printing industry due to its versatility and efficiency.
DTF Printing in Action:
1. Designing your print
Our trained designers carefully prepare your artwork before sending it to the film printer for production.
2. Creating a printing film
Your design is printed onto PET film using high-quality water-based pigment inks. Our advanced DTF printers ensure vibrant, detailed and durable prints, perfectly prepared for transfer.
3. Custom cutting to your product size
The printed film is precisely cut in several bits to match the dimensions of your product for a perfect fit.
4. Placing the print
A cut film is carefully positioned onto the fabric, ready for transfer.
5. Heat transfer process with the heat-press machine
Using a heat press machine, the adhesive is activated to bond the print firmly onto the fabric.
6. Peeling off the film
After cooling, the PET film is gently peeled off, revealing the finished print.
7. Final product reveal
A vibrant, durable print with a professional finish, ready to impress.
