What is a DTF printer

DTF is the abbreviation of Digital Transfer Film, or some people say Direct To Film.
Digital Transfer Film is more accurate, as it prints a bit like sublimation, but DTF gives you much more flexibility, it can print on cotton, polyester, rayon, nylon, leather and most fabrics!
It is a printing method with lower cost, higher efficiency and output than DTG.
Briefly explain the steps,
1. Print the pattern on the film.
2. Put special hot melt powder on the pattern and heat it to solidify on the pattern. (This powder increases the stickiness of the pattern and will stick to almost any substrate!)
3. Use a heat press to press the pattern behind the substrate (such as T-shirt), and you’re done!

Why choosing DTF?


Versatility in Fabric Types

DTF printing stands out for its adaptability to various textiles. Unlike some printing methods that require specific fabric types, DTF excels in adhering to a broad range of materials. Whether it's cotton, polyester, or challenging blends, DTF handles them all seamlessly.


Cost-effectiveness

For businesses, keeping costs low is crucial. DTF is an economical option, especially for small to medium-sized orders. It demands less setup and cleanup time compared to traditional methods like screen printing, resulting in reduced labor costs and waste.


Eco-Friendliness

With the growing focus on sustainability, DTF printing emerges as a more environmentally friendly choice. It uses less water and generates fewer byproducts, minimizing the environmental impact associated with garment printing—a significant advantage for eco-conscious brands and consumers.


Quick Turnaround Time

In today's fast-paced world, the speed of DTF printing is a major benefit. It streamlines the printing process, enabling a more responsive production line that can swiftly adapt to market trends and customer demands.


Comparison with Other Printing Methods

When compared to DTG, screen printing, or heat transfer, DTF stands out impressively. DTG can be slow and less cost-effective for larger orders, while screen printing often incurs higher setup costs and lacks versatility with fabric types. Heat transfer printing, although useful, may not match the durability and quality that DTF provides.
