What is DTF?

DTF is an alternative printing process for DTG. The film was printed using a specific type of water-based ink.It was then dried with powdered glue on the back and then heat cured for storage or immediate use. One of the benefits of DTF is that there is no need to use pretreatment. DTF cannot do this. The powdered glue does the job for you. After hot pressing, the soft water-based ink is transferred to the garment in about 15 seconds. Transfer is most suitable for polyester and other non-cotton fabrics that are difficult to print with traditional DTG printing.

DTG is mainly designed for cotton garments printing. DTF is difficult to replace DTG for cotton printing. However, due to its low level of investment in its independent version or fully automated system for mass production transfer, it is a good starting business choose.

InkMall has been at the forefront of inkjet printing for many years. As you know, DTF printing is an exciting addition to clothing decoration that cannot be ignored. If you avoided DTG printing in the past because of the need for pre-processing when using white ink, then DTF has broken the cycle. Not only does it require no pre-treatment, but it still provides water-based ink with a soft touch. Because special inks and adhesives enhance durability, DTF printing is very suitable for work clothes, such as work clothes, high visual range, gym clothes and cycling clothes. It will not crack like screen printing, which means it feels very soft due to the use of water-based inks.
