If you're looking 👀 for a bold, durable and versatile branding method for your apparel 👕 DTF printing (Direct to Film printing) is exactly what you need. Whether it’s for workwear, sports uniforms, promotional merch or custom gifts, DTF printing delivers crisp, vivid designs that stand out on almost any fabric! 🌟
How it works | Your artwork is printed onto a clear film using specialised printers 🖨️ and inks. This film is then coated with an adhesive powder and heat 🔥 cured to lock in the design. After cooling ❄️ the film is cut to size and heat pressed onto your chosen product, ensuring sharp colours and a fantastic feel.
Our DTF printer uses CMYK ink plus white ink for vibrant 🌟 colour, especially on dark fabrics. The white ink enhances colour vibrancy and expands the range of printable colours. However the white ink but may be slightly noticeable in certain colour shades. This is a normal characteristic of DTF printing and is simply the result of how the printer layers and blends ink to create the desired colours and effects 🎨
