What it is

What is DTF Printing?

DTF (Direct-to-Film) is the workhorse print method we use for almost every order today. Your design is printed onto a special PET film with eco-solvent CMYK + white inks, dusted with hot-melt powder, cured under heat, and then heat-pressed onto the garment.

The result is a soft, flexible, photo-quality print that survives 50+ industrial washes without cracking, fading or peeling — and it works on cotton, polyester, blends, fleece, lycra, denim, even nylon. That makes DTF the most versatile method on our floor.

How it is done

The dtf printing process

  1. Design upload & colour-match. Your artwork goes through our colour-match pass under D65 lighting so on-fabric colour matches your reference.
  2. Film print + powder. CMYK + white inks are jet-printed on the PET film, then dusted with hot-melt adhesive powder.
  3. Curing oven. The film passes through a 110°C curing tunnel that bonds the powder.
  4. Heat press. Film is pressed onto the garment at 145°C for 12 seconds, then cold-peeled.
  5. Quality check. Every piece goes through stretch + rub testing post-print before it leaves the floor.
