What’s DTF Printing?
DTF is a popular method of transferring prints to fabrics and other substrates due to its reliability and cost-effectiveness. It has also grown in popularity among various studios and organizations. DTF (Direct-to-Film) is a technique for transferring prints onto fabrics or other substrates via a hot pressing mechanism. In the above example, the PET heat transfer film is used as the printing consumables. To print the pattern using the special DTF Printer, then transfer it to a hot pressing machine that can transfer on any surface.
Difference between DTF and DTG
DTF and DTG processes have many different characteristics. DTG can be printed on clothing while DTF can be transferred to clothing using DTF Film and a heat press. DTG can only be used on cotton fabrics. DTF can be used on any surface.
DTF’s Advantages
About DTF, Mr. Zhu, an engineer of A-SUB®, said that compared with the DTG process that was used before, the advantages of DTF are overwhelming. DTF has a better saturation than DTG, as can be seen by the effects on identical transferred clothes. DTF can also be used for batch printing and is cheap, so you don’t have to sacrifice cost-effectiveness.
DTF is a brand new method of transferring. Many questions regarding the limit of fabrics and color can be solved by DTF film. With DTF film, people don’t need to worry about the colors and fabrics of the substrates during the process of transferring. DTF film offers more options for transferring and can save you more time and money. DTF transfers are more attractive and vivid.
