    DTF is a printing process that transfers designs onto fabric using heat presses. It uses water-based inks printed onto a film that is then coated with adhesive powder and cured. DTF printers can print on fabrics like cotton, polyester, silk, and more in both dark and light colors. The powder coating process applies an adhesive powder to the printed film before the ink dries, then cures it using heat. The design is then transferred to fabric using a heat press. DTF provides a cost-effective way to print designs directly onto various fabrics for applications like apparel, home goods, and more.

    Basic Knowledge DTF and 8colors

    Introduction:

    Direct to Film or DTF is a process that transfers prints onto fabric or other substrates using a heat-
    press mechanism. DTF is an alternative printing process to DTG. Using a specific kind of water-based
    ink to print a film transfer that is then dried, a powdered glue is applied to the back and then heat
    cured ready for storage or instant use.

    the DTF printer technology can allow you to print easily on cotton, polyester, synthetic, or silk
    without any trouble. Plus, DTF printers can work on both dark and white fabric.
