DTF Direct to Film Printers
DTF or Direct-to-Film printing is a way to make very high-quality, full-color digital transfers for application to fabrics of all kinds.
The core advantages of direct to film and of the high volume direct to film printers that you’ll find here include:
- Wash fastness – these transfers last like screen printing
- Stretch – not only do the transfers stretch along with the fabric, it snaps back into place beautifully
- Flexibility of materials – you can apply DTF transfers to any fabric
- Very low application time – in most cases, transfer application to a t-shirt is a :15 second heat press
- VERY high speed production – between 100 large shirt front transfers per hour (55 linear feet/hour) and 300 or more large shirt front transfers per hour (up to 150 linear feet/hour)

Applying the Adhesive to the Custom DTF Transfer Prints
It’s the unique powder adhesive coating that gives DTF prints their signature soft touch. Instead of thick transfer films, or vinyl’s, the Direct to Film Process has only two ingredients. The ink, and a thin coating of powered adhesive.
The soft hand of DTF is holy grail of custom apparel. It’s never been possible to get the incredible soft feel of half-tone screen printing in a transfer process. But with DTF, you get all that and more.
The DTF powder adhesive is moisture-seeking, so it draws itself into the ink of the print and chemically bonds to form a strong permanent adhesive that sticks extremely strong to both cotton and polyester fibers.
