DTF Printer

DTF (Direct-to-film) printing is one common method used in T-shirt printing. To finish a complete DTF printing, the graphics will be first printed on a pre-treated film, then covered with adhesive powder, after curing and heat pressing, finally transferred onto fabrics. DTF printing prints colored inks with a white ink base, allowing its printed outputs to achieve a higher color reproduction compared to other methods such as DTG.
