Traditional transfer technology cannot meet the customer’s requirement, so some new technologies are born in the market. Except the heat transfer paper, sublimation paper, heat transfer vinyl and etc, a new techology was shown in the markter, that is DTF print. It is not the same as other transfer paper, it is totally different, why does it so popular these days? Because DTF printing definitely has some advantages that make it the perfect addition to your apparel printing business. today I will introduce this new technology for you and will also show you how to use it, we will introduce dtf for you from several aspects,
what is DTF print?
Direct film printing involves printing the design onto a special film, applying and fusing a powder adhesive onto the printed film, and then pressing the design onto the garment or merchandise. You will need transfer film and hot melt adhesive powder, as well as software to create your prints – no other special equipment required!
The advantage of DTF print
Firstly, dtf is suitable for a variety of materials. While DTF direct-to-garment printing works best on 100% cotton, at the same time, DTF is suitable for many different garment materials, such as cotton fabrics, nylon, treated leather, polyester, 50/50 blends, and light color and dark fabrics, etc. He can even transfer to different types of surfaces such as luggage, shoes and even glass, wood and metal! You can expand your business by using DTF to apply your designs to a variety of commodities.

Secondly, Although DTF printing does not have a particularly soft hand, it is more durable. The transfer process is very flexible and convenient. After the transfer, the pattern will not fall off or crack, and the quality is very good.
Thirdly, the application range of DTF is very wide, because its operation is directly print onto film, then transfer it. so you can place designs on hard-to-reach or awkward surfaces. As long as the place you need to transfer is high temperature resistant, you can apply the DTF design to it! Because only heat is required to adhere the design, it has a wide range of applications.
Fouth, DTF technology is used for faster production process, which saves you a lot of time, whether you are transferring large batches or selling small batches, this is the best choice. Because you can eliminate the steps of pre-treating and drying the garment, DTF technology has a shorter production time compared to other technologies such as sublimation, heat transfer, etc.
When we want to use DTF, what should we prepare in advance ?
Before we use dtf print, we should prepare dtf transfer film, textile pigment ink, hot melt adhesive powder, heat press machine, dtf printer, roll feeder and powder shaking machine. Let me introduce it one by one.
DTF printer: it is a direct transfer film printer,which has specially developed for those customers who pursue high quality and do not need large-width machines.

How to use DTF transfer print?
At first, use the dtf printer to printer the image that you want, and spread the powder on the dtf transfer film, then spread the powder evenly on the transfer film, and put the transfer film on the heat press machine to pre- heat it. Next, use 165-180 degree and 15 seconds to transfer, then peel off the film. Then you will get a finished product.
