What is a Direct To Film printer?

A Direct To Film (DTF) printer is a machine specialized in printing directly onto films or film materials. This means you can print your designs or images directly onto the film material without having to use any type of transfer or intermediate paper.

How does a DTF printer work?

The DTF printer uses special inks to transfer designs to the film material. First, you place the film material in the machine and then use the printing software to select your design and set up the print. Once ready, the DTF printer will use special inks and heat to transfer the design directly onto the film material.

Why use a Direct To Film printer?

  • Time and money savings: By not having to use intermediate paper or transfer, you can save time and money in your printing process.
  • Greater durability: By printing directly on the film material, designs have greater durability and resistance to fading and wear.
  • Higher print quality: Sublimation printing allows for more vibrant colors and more precise details compared to other printing techniques.
  • Wide range of applications: The DTF printer is versatile and can be used to print on a wide variety of film materials, such as vinyl, polyester, and polypropylene. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, such as signage printing, clothing and fashion accessories, and more.
