More about DTF printing
DTF is ideal for logos, images and labels on the front-side, back-side, sleeves and inside of T-shirts, hoodies, and work clothing. Personalisation, such as names and numbers on sportswear further extends the usage and promotional items like caps and bags are further good usage examples.
Designs are printed on special media called ‘DTF film’ using an inkjet printer with dedicated DTF inks (heat transfer pigment ink), which is often backed up with a white ink layer. A soluble ‘hot melt powder’ is then applied, which adheres to the wet ink layers, and acts as the glue between design and fabric.
The film then passes through a dryer unit, drying the ink and smoothing the powder layer. The resulting direct to transfer sheet can then be heat-pressed onto fabrics such as cotton, polyester, polyester blends, silk, and leather.
