What’s DTF Printing?
DTF’s reliability and affordability have made it a very popular choice in many studios and organisations. DTF (Direct To Film) allows you to transfer printed images to fabric or other substrates with a hot pressing method. This is the process where the printing consumables used are PET heat-transfer film. New transferring materials include a DTF Printer that prints the pattern. Then, use the hot press to transfer the design onto any surface.
Differential between DTF and DTG
DTF and DTG are two different processes. DTG can be printed on clothes, while DTF can be transferred onto clothing using DTF Film and a heat press. DTG works only with cotton fabrics. DTF can be applied to any surface.
Benefits of DTF
About DTF, Mr. Zhu, an engineer of A-SUB®, said that compared with the DTG process that was used before, the advantages of DTF are overwhelming. DTF has a better saturation than DTG, as can be seen by the effects on identical transferred clothing. DTF, which is cheaper than DTG and can be printed in batches, has the advantage of being cost-effective.
DTF is an entirely new method of transferring. Many questions regarding the limit of fabric and color are solved by DTF film. With DTF film, people don’t need to worry about the colors and fabrics of the substrates during the process of transferring. DTF film offers more options for transferring, and can save you more time and money. DTF transfers are more attractive and vibrant.
