DTF (direct to film) printing is the new system for printing on fabric intended to supplant transfer printing systems (via laser printer) and DTG (direct to fabric printing), especially for small companies. It uses a modified printer with specific inks, and special transfer sheets for the application of prints on fabric.
Equipped with five colors (CMY plus black and white), it allows the printing of any type of graphics, both on light and colored and dark t-shirts.
A sample of printed t-shirt is available, to evaluate the exceptional quality and resistance to washing of this print, there is also a sample of printed sheet that you can directly transfer onto a t-shirt using a heat press.
How is DTF printing done? Instructions in English for DTF printing by clicking here.
The advantages and differences of DTF printing compared to transfer printing and DTG printing are the following:
- lower purchase cost of machinery, about half compared to cheaper alternatives
- lower cost per single print (about € 3 per print in A3 format)
- lower cost of consumables (the inks are very cheap)
- printing process as fast as transfer sheets, slightly slower than direct printing
- very high resistance to washing of the fabric, comparable to that of direct printing, and much higher than that of transfer printing
- prepare the graphics using the provided software
- send the graphics to the printer, after checking the printing parameters according to the instructions supplied with the printer. Printing an A3 sheet takes approximately 5 minutes
- sprinkle the special transferable powder on the back of the printed sheet
- remove excess transferable powder from the sheet
- heat the sheet with an oven at 120 degrees for 8 minutes (it is also possible to use a normal kitchen oven, specifically for transfers), or with a microwave oven, with a normal heat press keeping the heating plate separate from the sheet, or with the appropriate machinery for the application of the powder and its heat treatment
- apply the sheet thus obtained on the shirt using a normal heat press, at 140 degrees for 12 seconds
