DTF stands for Direct To Film. This technique involves printing your design directly onto transfer foil and then transferring it onto your chosen product using a heat press. DTF printing is perfect for anyone who wants to customize t-shirts or any other textile product (cushion covers, masks, bags, sweatshirts, etc.)

Your file should not exceed 300cm x 56cm due to resolution limit.
Please use 300dpi files so we keep your files quality high.
If you want to order for example 10 meters of one file, you should rename the file ex: (DTF x 10 copies)
That means that we will print 10 copies of that file, 10 meters total.

We have a printing plotter, a hot or cold release film and a curing oven. The mirror effect design is printed with CMYK + white inks and then the powder is applied and cured in the oven to finish the print and be able to iron it on the garments.

Very pleasant to the touch, especially on cotton and polyester garments or mixed fabrics. It feels smooth, without a plasticy feel as long as it is applied correctly.

55 Washes. You have to wash it with cold water, with the print facing inside and at 800 rpm of the washing machine.

The DTF is more advantageous because of its adaptation to many more materials and types of tissue. Sublimation can only be applied to polyester.

UV DTF (Direct to Film) transfers are a printing method that combines the benefits of UV printing and DTF technology. Here’s a breakdown of what it involves:

1. UV Printing: UV printing uses ultraviolet light to cure ink onto surfaces instantly. The ink is printed onto the transfer film and then hardened with UV light, which ensures durability and vibrant colors. This method can be used on various materials like plastic, wood, and metal.
2. DTF (Direct to Film): In this method, the design is printed onto a special film, and then the printed film is transferred to the desired material (like fabric, apparel, or other surfaces) using heat and pressure.

When combined, UV DTF transfers involve printing a design onto a film with UV-cured inks, and then using heat and pressure to transfer the design onto the surface. This process works well for both flat and slightly curved surfaces, offering high-quality, durable prints with vivid color output.

It's particularly popular for printing on items that would be challenging for traditional screen printing or other methods, especially on materials that don’t absorb ink the way fabric does (like certain plastics, metals, or ceramics).

UV DTF (Direct to Film) is used for a variety of custom printing applications, and here's a step-by-step breakdown of how the process works:

1. Design Creation

• First, you create or choose the design you want to print. This is typically done using graphic design software like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop.

2. Printing on Film

• The design is printed onto a special transfer film using a UV printer that uses UV-curable inks. The printer prints the design in full color, and the UV inks are immediately cured (hardened) by UV light as they are printed, ensuring they adhere well to the film.
• This printing process results in a high-quality image with vibrant, long-lasting colors.

3. Powder Application (Optional for DTF)

• If you're using the DTF aspect (which can also apply to UV DTF), a fine adhesive powder is sprinkled onto the printed film while the ink is still wet.
• The powder sticks to the printed ink areas and is then melted using a heat press or oven to bond it to the design.

4. Transfer Process

• Once the design is ready and the adhesive (if used) has been set, the film is placed on the surface you want to transfer the design to (like a t-shirt, mug, metal, plastic, etc.).
• A heat press is then used to apply heat and pressure, transferring the design from the film onto the target material.
• In the case of UV DTF, the design sticks very well to various surfaces due to the UV inks, and it’s durable even on materials that are not typically easy to print on, like non-porous or hard materials.

5. Final Curing

• After the transfer, the UV ink doesn’t need additional curing, but it can be heat-pressed again to ensure adhesion and durability.
• For fabrics, this gives you a vibrant, flexible print. For non-fabric items like wood, metal, or plastic, you get a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Applications of UV DTF:

• Apparel: T-shirts, hoodies, and other textiles.
• Accessories: Mugs, phone cases, hats, bags, etc.
• Custom Gifts: Customized items for personal use or gifts.
• Industrial Items: Branding or logos on items like electronics or tools.

Advantages of UV DTF:

• High Quality & Durability: The UV inks are highly resistant to wear and fading.
• Versatility: Works on a wide variety of materials, including hard and soft surfaces.
• Vibrant Prints: Produces vibrant, full-color images.
• No Need for Screens or Stencils: Unlike traditional screen printing, there’s no need for costly screens, making it a more cost-effective method for smaller print runs.

In summary, UV DTF combines the best of UV printing with the transfer process, making it perfect for creating high-quality, durable custom prints on a wide range of surfaces!

1. Set the press temperature to 160 degrees Celsius or 320 Fahrenheit!
Pre-press the t-shirt or specific product for 5 seconds to remove moisture.
2. Center the transfer on the t-shirt and press for 10 seconds.
3.These transfers are for Hot and Cold film release, so as soon as you finish pressing for 5 seconds, remove the t-shirt from the heat press with the transfer still attached and let it cool little bit.
4.Once cooled, slowly remove the foil.
5. Place the t-shirt back on the press and press once more for 10 seconds. It is! You have a ready-to-use t-shirt!

In professional design programs such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop. CANVA can also be used.

It is very important to leave at least 4mm between each graphic element on the imposition for comfortable handling once the DTF is printed and cured.
