DTF printing stands for “Direct-to-Film” printing, which is a method where a design is printed directly onto a special film and then transferred using a heat press to various substrates like t-shirts, allowing for full-color, high-quality prints on a wide range of fabrics, even dark colors, without the need for pre-treatment or special fabric types; essentially, it’s a versatile way to apply designs to garments using a film transfer process.
The design is printed with specialized inks onto a PET film (a plastic sheet), then a layer of adhesive powder is applied to the wet ink, followed by curing with heat to set the design.
DTF can be applied to various fabrics like cotton, polyester, blends, and even difficult-to-print materials like denim or leather.
