Tools and equipment required for DTF printing
For successful DTF printing, you will need at least the following items: DTF printer: A specialized device, sometimes a modification of a traditional inkjet printer, capable of printing high-resolution images onto PET film. These printers typically use CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and base/black) inks and a white ink base to achieve vibrant, full-color designs. Print resolution and quality play an important role in the final output of your transfer. DTF ink: A special type of water-based pigment ink designed specifically for DTF printing. When printed onto PET film, it cr
The process begins with a DTF printer printing the digital design onto a specialized DTF film using special DTF ink that adheres to the film. After printing, the design is coated with hot melt adhesive powder that adheres to the ink. The powder film is then passed through a hot tunnel or under a heat press that melts and solidifies the binder powder, readying the DTF transfer film for application. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the DTF printing process: Start by preparing your artwork for a transparent background at 300 dpi. You will also need to create a channel for
Direct to Film (DTF) printing is a new printing technology similar to Direct to Garment (DTG) printing. The main difference is that DTG technology is limited to printing on cotton garments. The DTF printing process is faster and requires less labor than DTG printing. DTF printing is a process in which prints are transferred to fabric or other substrates via a heat-pressing mechanism, and even white ink does not require pre-treatment. A thin film transfer is printed using
DTF uses a heat press to transfer prints to fabric or other substrates. DTF printing is suitable for cotton and blended fabrics. Direct-to-film printers allow you to print designs on film and transfer them directly to the intended surface.
