DTF – elastic technology of prints for clothing

DTF (Direct To Film) is an innovative printing method that has revolutionized the way of applying graphics to textiles. Unlike many traditional techniques, DTF allows for decorating virtually any type of fabric - both cotton, polyester, and blends - which makes it extremely versatile and attractive to the sports industry.

​Prints made using the DTF method are:

01

Durable and resistant

​Withstand multiple washing, stretching and intense use.

02

Flexible

​Do not crack and do not crumble, maintaining a great appearance for a long time,

03

High-quality​

​With full color rendering and detail printing capability.

04

Universal

​Suitable for both light and dark materials, regardless of their type.

Process DTF - step by step

01

Preparation of the project

Project developed in high resolution, with the possibility of using a full palette of colors.

02

Printing on special PET film

Image applied in CMYK colors, and then additionally coated with a layer of white ink to guarantee color saturation on any background.

03

Application of adhesive powder

Freshly printed pattern is sprinkled with a special thermoplastic powder, which is responsible for the subsequent durable bonding with the fabric.

04

Fixing

Film with graphics undergoes a heating process in a dedicated device, which activates the powder adhesive.

05

Transfer to material

Ready print is transferred to clothing using a thermal press. Under the influence of temperature and pressure, the pattern bonds with the fibers.

06

Final effect

After removing the transfer film, we get an elastic, durable print with intense colors.
