What Do You Need for DTF Printing?
The following are the key DTF supplies that would be required to get started with DTF printing.
DTF also requires a specialized transfer film. DTF is made from Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), hence the name, PET film.
DTF prints rely on a CMYK ink set plus a white base ink to produce vivid colors. The white is especially important for dark fabrics to add an opaque under base.
It acts as a binding agent that allows the printed design to adhere securely to fabric when heat pressed.
A heat press is used to permanently apply a heat transfer to a surface.
How does DTF Printing work?
Step 1: Design Pattern
The process begins by designing the pattern on a computer. This step involves creating or selecting the artwork that will be printed on the garment or product.
Step 2: Print the Pattern
Once the design is finalized, it’s printed using a DTF printer. The printer applies the design to a special transfer film using DTF ink.
Step 3: Hot Press Molding
The design on the film is then transferred onto the garment using a heat press machine for 15 to 20 seconds at an average temperature of 165°C.
Step 4: Finishing
The final step involves any finishing touches, such as trimming excess transfer film or adding additional details to enhance the design.
Is DTF better than Screen Printing?
DTF Printing provides flexibility and higher production speeds. Screen printing may take several hours of significant work. Utilizing Direct-to-Film printing for your business is the strongest path to owning the t-shirt customization market.
Most common applications: sportswear, flags, promotional textiles.
