DTF printers have become the preferred equipment for mainstream clothing printing due to their high efficiency, convenient printing method and wide range of applications. Compared with traditional printing methods such as DTG and screen printing, DTF printing has obvious advantages.

Technical Principle & Advantages

Technical principle:

• DTF (Direct-to-Film Transfer) printer, also known as white ink heat transfer printer, is a high-temperature transfer process used in the clothing industry. It prints the designed pattern on PET film or transfer paper, and then presses the pattern onto the clothing after the powder is sprinkled by a powder shaker and baked at high temperature for color fixation.

Advantages:

1. Convenient and efficient: DTF printing does not require plate making, engraving and waste discharge, and realizes a true minimum order of one piece and zero inventory, which is suitable for the needs of e-commerce bosses and personalized customization factories.
2. Diverse materials: DTF printing process is suitable for a variety of fabrics, including pure cotton, polyester, nylon, denim, silk, leather, etc., providing more options for clothing printing.
3. High quality: The patterns printed by DTF transfer machines have excellent durability, are resistant to water washing and scratching, and the water washing color fastness can reach level 4-5, ensuring that the pattern remains bright for a long time.
4. Strong flexibility: DTF printing equipment can meet the personalized needs of different customers, whether it is batch printing in peak season or urgent customization of individual customers in off-season, it can be easily dealt with.

1. T-shirts and sweatshirts: DTF printing technology is most suitable for printing daily clothing such as T-shirts and sweatshirts, because these clothing are mostly made of pure cotton or blended fabrics, which are suitable for the high-temperature transfer process of DTF printing.
2. Sportswear: Sportswear has high requirements for the durability of patterns. The washability and scratch resistance of DTF-printed patterns make it an ideal choice for sportswear printing.
3. Work clothes and school uniforms: These clothing usually require batch customization and have high requirements for the durability of patterns. The high efficiency and high quality of DTF printing make it very suitable for these application scenarios.
