DTF Printing
DTF printing is a technology in which graphics are applied to film and then transferred to textiles using heat. It provides high material flexibility, stable quality and low entry threshold into print production.
What is DTF printing?
DTF printing involves applying graphics to a special film and then permanently transferring it to textiles using temperature and pressure. This method separates the printing step from the application, which increases production flexibility and repeatability of quality.
Works on cotton, blends and synthetics
DTF technology allows printing on natural and synthetic fabrics without the need for pre-treatment of the material. This allows you to execute orders on different substrates without changing the process.
Small and medium series
The DTF process works well in the production of short batches and personalized orders. The lack of preparation of sieves or molds allows us to respond quickly and economically to the changing needs of customers.
Full color opacity
The white primer layer provides intense, uniform colors even on dark materials. Graphics retain readability, contrast, and consistency between successive prints.
Three Stages of DTF Printing
DTF printing is a simplified process of transferring printing to textiles. Three stages ensure repeatable print quality, durability and flexibility in low volume and mass production.
Where DTF technology gives you an advantage
DTF is the ideal solution where production flexibility, fast turnaround and the ability to print without minimal costs are important.
Risk-free on-demand production
DTF allows you to print exactly as much as the customer orders. The lack of minimum inputs eliminates overproduction and frozen capital, which is crucial with fluctuating demand.
Customization and quick design changes
Changing graphics in DTF does not require the preparation of a new form. This allows you to personalize names, numbers, seasonal graphics and limited editions at no additional cost.
Why DTF Matters
DTF removes the barriers between an idea and a finished garment.
Printing on almost any material
DTF allows printing on cotton, polyester, blends, nylon and technical fabrics without the need for pretreatment. One technology supports a wide range of materials.
Cost-effective solution
The absence of sieves, dies and complicated preparation significantly reduces initial costs. DTF is particularly suitable for short runs and on-demand production.
Flexibility of production
The ability to realize single pieces or small batches without material losses gives you full control over production and order fulfillment time.
Durable and resistant prints
When properly fixed, DTF prints are characterized by good adhesion, flexibility and resistance to washing and daily use.
Set up your DTF kit
Every DTF process requires the right machines and materials that work together.
DTF Printers and Powder Shakers
Precision machines that apply ink to film with speed and repeatability. Look for models that fit your circulation.
Powder and Curing Equipment
Apply the powder to wet ink, and then cure it at high temperature. This step fixes the pattern on the foil, allowing transfer.
Heat Transfer Presses
Reliable heat and pressure make it possible to transfer the hardened pattern from the film to the garment in a matter of seconds.
DTF Films, Inks and Powders
High-quality consumables ensure a smooth workflow. Find the right brands and suppliers for your business.
