Direct to Film (DTF) printing represents a groundbreaking advancement in textile printing technology, offering a versatile and efficient solution for custom garment decoration. This innovative process involves printing designs directly onto a special film using specialized DTF printers and ink systems. The system employs a two-step process: first, the design is printed onto a PET film using water-based pigmented inks, followed by the application of a hot-melt adhesive powder. The printed design is then heat-cured, creating a transfer that can be applied to various fabric types. DTF printing technology accommodates a wide range of materials, including cotton, polyester, nylon, silk, and blended fabrics, making it exceptionally versatile for different applications. The process delivers vibrant, wash-resistant results with excellent color saturation and durability. Unlike traditional printing methods, DTF requires no pretreatment of garments and can produce intricate designs with fine details and smooth gradients. The technology supports both light and dark fabric printing without compromising quality, and the resulting prints maintain their flexibility and softness after application.
