Expand your business with DTF printing
Use DTF printing for rich colors, fine details and reliable quality on almost any fabric - ideal for sophisticated designs and diverse product ranges.
What are the advantages of DTF printing?
- Versatility: DTF works on almost any material, from cotton and polyester to blended fabrics.
- Durability: The prints are extremely robust and can withstand many washes.
- High color intensity: Rich, vibrant colors on light and dark textiles.
- High level of detail: Razor-sharp motifs, fine contours and tiny fonts with outstanding precision.
How does DTF printing work?
1. Your design is first printed on a special transfer film. A special adhesive powder ensures that the print later adheres perfectly to the textile.
2. The printed film is transferred to the desired garment using heat and pressure - without any pre-treatment.
The result: bright colors, razor-sharp details and a long-lasting print - on almost any fabric, whether cotton, polyester or blended fabric.
What kind of motifs is DTF printing suitable for?
DTF is suitable if:
- Your design contains small fonts, fine lines or detail work
- You want to print on difficult materials such as polyester, nylon or caps
- You use a lot of open spaces or lightly placed motifs
- You do not want to pre-treat the textiles
DTF is less suitable if:
- The motif is to be printed over a large area and almost the entire surface
- You prefer a very soft, fabric-like feel
- Your design consists of dense color areas or gradients
- Comfort is particularly important for large prints
