 (Dtf)Printing

​​

Direct-to-film (DTF) printing is a method where you print designs directly onto transparent film. The process begins by creating or selecting a digital design.

You then transfer the design with a DTF printer, which uses special ink formulated for film printing.

After printing, the design must cure. This ensures the ink adheres properly to the film. After curing, you will place the film onto the substrate (fabric, paper, or another material).

Next comes heat and pressure, which causes the ink to transfer from the film onto the substrate. The result is a vibrant, detailed print.

When comparing DTF printing with other methods like screen printing or direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, you'll notice several distinctions.

Unlike screen printing, which involves creating stencils and applying layers of ink, DTF printing offers a more direct and efficient process. The process works particularly well for complex designs with multiple colors.
