Direct To Film

Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is a high-quality method for creating full-color designs on various fabrics. Whether you’re a business owner, print shop, or looking for custom apparel, DTF offers vibrant, durable prints. Unlike screen printing or direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, DTF uses a special PET film for superior flexibility and longevity.

How DTF Printing Works

1. Design Creation – A digital design is created with intricate details and multiple colors.
2. Printing on Film – The design is printed onto PET film using CMYK and white inks.
3. Applying Adhesive Powder – A hot-melt adhesive powder is added to bond the design to fabric.
4. Curing the Film – The film is heated to solidify the adhesive.
5. Heat Press Transfer – The cured film is pressed onto the fabric with heat and pressure.
6. Peeling and Finishing – Once cooled, the film is peeled away, leaving a soft, durable print.

Why Choose DTF Printing?

• Works on various fabrics – Cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, and leather.
• Highly durable – Resistant to washing, stretching, and wear.
• Full-color, high-detail designs – Ideal for intricate artwork.
• No fabric pretreatment needed – Faster process than DTG printing.
