Direct to Film (DTF) printing is a new printing technology that is similar to Direct to Garment (DTG) printing. The main difference is that DTG technology is limited to printing only on cotton-based garments. DTF printing process is quicker and requires less labor than DTG printing.

DTF printing is a process that transfers prints onto fabric or other substrates with a heat-press mechanism, requiring no pre-treatment even for white ink. Using a specific kind of water-based ink to print a film transfer that is then dried, a powdered glue is applied to the back and then heat cured ready for storage or instant use.

DTF printing is much more versatile and can print on a large range of apparel such as nylon, polyester, denim, silk, and of course cotton. Due to the increased number of printing applications. DTF printing is fast becoming one of the most popular methods to print t shirts and apparel.

DTF printing has revolutionized the textile industry and updated textile creation for the digital era. The process is straightforward: digital artwork is created, printed on the film, then transferred onto the fabric.

DTF printing involves sophisticated computer technology that is capable of creating highly detailed, colorful prints for T-shirts and garments. Computer-aided technology also makes it a fast and economical printing method for large volumes of T-shirts and garments.
