What is Direct-to-Film (DTF) Printing?

DTF printing, or Direct-to-Film printing, is a cutting-edge method in the world of garment decoration and textile printing. Unlike traditional methods like screen printing or heat transfer, DTF printing involves directly printing designs onto a special film using a printer equipped with DTF-specific inks. Once the design is printed onto the film, it is transferred onto the garment or textile using a heat press. This innovative technique allows for intricate designs with unlimited colors to be reproduced with exceptional detail and vibrancy on various fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends. DTF printing offers versatility and customization possibilities, making it a popular choice for businesses and individuals looking to create eye-catching apparel, promotional items, and more.
