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, the direct-to-film Process has only two ingredients: ink and a thin coating of powdered adhesive.

The soft hand of ColDesi DTF is the 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 a DTF printer, 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 strongly to both cotton and polyester fibers.

The superior printing ability and the versatility of the process make DTF (Direct-to-Film) the most efficient and cost-effective method for consistently achieving high-quality prints on demand.
