Direct-To-Film (DTF) Printers & Accessories

DTF’s (direct-to-film) popularity comes from its unique set of advantages, compared to other digital garment decoration techniques. One might say that DTF’s popularity comes from fixing what decorators don’t like about other technologies, but that’s a matter of perspective. Taken by itself, the appeal of direct-to-film heat transfer can be summed up in a few points.

Ease of use: There are four steps in the DTF process, but they’re all fairly simple.
Durable transfers: DTF transfers are more wash-resistant than DTG (direct-to-garment) and laser transfers
Soft and stretchable: DTF transfers have more plasticity than laser transfer and some HTV (heat transfer vinyl) transfers. They’re not as soft as sublimation, but they stretch with the fabric.
Vibrant color, opaque white: The bright colors and opaque white of DTF transfers are comparable to that of DTG prints and screen-printed apparel.
Weedless transfers: Like DTG, sublimation, and laser transfer, complex DTF transfers can be applied without cutting and weeding.
