Description
Direct to Film printing is the latest trend in printing. Full color graphics are printed on a transfer film, then using a heat press the print is transferred onto a final product. The process is superior to DTG printing as it can be done on polyester blends as well as cotton, and the prints aren’t as thick as Plastisol prints giving a softer feel. DTF can even be used on products that used to be limited to cut and weeded graphics like hats, tote bags, virtually any fabric product.
White ink is available on our transfers, allowing for contoured graphics. The graphics are backed with a flood white so they work on light and dark garments. The transfers are stable and can be stored for later use allowing you to print now and apply on demand!
Pressing Instructions
Our DTF is a cold peel film. Heat, pressure, and time should be adjusted according to individual machines and substrates. The following are general recommendations for reference only.
- Pressure: 35-50 PSI
- Pre-Press: 5-7 seconds until moisture is gone
- Press: 290-320℉ 10-20 seconds
- Post-Press: 5-7 seconds with a teflon sheet or other preferred material
