Let us know if you have further questions!DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a method where designs are printed onto a special film and then transferred onto garments using heat. It allows for vibrant, full-color prints on various fabric types. The process involves printing the design on a DTF sheet, applying a powder adhesive, curing the print, and finally heat pressing it onto the fabric.
DTF prints are highly durable and can withstand many washes without significant fading or cracking. The adhesive used in DTF printing helps the design bond strongly with the fabric, making it suitable for everyday wear and heavy use.
Yes, DTF sheets can be used on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, blends, denim, and even some non-textile surfaces. It provides flexibility for customizing a wide range of products, from t-shirts and hoodies to tote bags and hats.
DTF printing differs from screen printing and DTG (Direct-to-Garment) in several ways. Screen printing requires separate screens for each color, making it less efficient for full-color or complex designs. DTG works best on cotton and light-colored fabrics, whereas DTF can be applied to various materials and colors. DTF also provides a softer feel compared to traditional heat transfers.
When preparing design files for DTF printing, it's best to use high-resolution PNG or TIFF files with a transparent background. Make sure the file resolution is at least 300 DPI for crisp print quality. Avoid overly fine details, as they may not transfer well, and double-check color settings for accurate output.
