ColDesi DTF Printers - 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. ColDesi DTF Printers can help you get work out quick with great quality.
The DTF printing process offers a range of benefits for custom apparel printing. It produces crisp and durable prints on almost any garment, even on dark fabrics.
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 DTF printer transfers stretch along with the fabric, it snaps back into place beautifully
- Flexibility of materials – you can apply DTF printer 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)

DTF T-Shirt Print Award Winner
ColDesi’s expertise and quality supplies (ink, film & adhesive) created the 1st place winning DTF transfer in "Best Print Quality in the DTF T-Shirt Contest" | Print United 2024. Judging based on Color Accuracy, Softness/Feel, Stretch, & more.
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.
