direct to film printers
Direct to Film (DTF) printers represent a revolutionary advancement in garment printing technology, offering a versatile and efficient solution for custom apparel decoration. These innovative machines utilize specialized PET films and water-based inks to create high-quality transfers that can be applied to various fabric types. The printing process involves depositing CMYK plus white inks onto a specially coated film, followed by the application of a hot-melt adhesive powder. The printed design is then cured and ready for heat transfer onto the garment. DTF printers excel in producing vibrant, durable prints with exceptional wash resistance and stretch capability. They can handle intricate designs, photographic images, and fine text with remarkable precision. These printers eliminate the need for color separation or pre-treatment of garments, streamlining the production process significantly. The technology accommodates both light and dark fabrics equally well, making it a versatile choice for print shops of all sizes. With the ability to print on demand and minimal setup requirements, DTF printing has become increasingly popular in the custom apparel industry, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional printing methods.
