Direct-to-Film (DTF printing) is one of the fastest-growing trends in the textile industry, thanks to its versatility, low cost, and ability to print on almost any fabric.
Why DTF?
Unlike DTG (Direct-to-Garment), which works best only on cotton, DTF can print on cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, denim, and even leather without pre-treatment. The process involves printing onto a film, applying adhesive powder, curing it, and then transferring to fabric with a heat press.
