DTF
DTF
DTF (Direct to Film) is a modern digital textile printing method. It makes it possible to produce vibrant, full-colour prints with photographic detail, smooth tonal transitions and exceptional precision. The design is first printed onto a specialist transfer film, coated with a dedicated adhesive powder and then heat-pressed onto the fabric.
DTF is an extremely versatile technology that performs particularly well where other printing methods may be less suitable. It offers a cost-effective solution for both individual items and larger production runs. It works perfectly on cotton, polyester and more demanding synthetic fabrics.

It is, although for very large runs of single-colour clothing screen printing can be cheaper. For multicolour designs, DTF wins regardless of the quantity.
