What is DTF Printing?

DTF stands for “direct-to-film” printing—a cool way to get vibrant, durable designs onto fabric! The DTF-12H2 produces brilliant digital transfer sheets, handling everything from single color shirt labels to left chest logos to full-size prints. The DTF printer uses PET transfer film which is translucent so you can see the design underneath the film when you later heat-press it onto the garment. The PET film has a thickness of around 0.75mm which allows for better transfer characteristics.
How Does DTF Printing Work?

Here's the Process:
Print on Film:
The design is printed in reverse onto a film using special textile inks. These inks are formulated to bond strongly with fabric, making them much tougher than standard paper inks.
Press and Peel:
Once placed on a garment, heat transfers the design from film to fabric. Depending on the transfer type—cold peel (peel after cooling) or hot peel (peel right away)—you’ll follow the instructions to reveal the final design.
After Pressing:
The film is discarded, leaving a sharp, long-lasting print on your apparel. DTF printing is all about bold colors, flexibility, and durability—perfect for unique, custom wear!
