DTF materials

DTF powder is a hot-melt adhesive powder that enables permanent transfer of a design from film to textile. It is applied to the freshly printed design and activated by heating, creating a strong bond between the ink and the fabric. It provides elasticity, good adhesion, and resistance to washing and wear. Uniform melting ensures a smooth and durable final result. It is suitable for use on cotton, polyester, and various textile blends.

Frequently Asked Questions

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a process where a design is printed directly onto a special transfer film, dusted with adhesive powder, and then transferred to fabric using a heat press. It enables vibrant, durable, and multicolor prints without pre-treating the fabric.

DTF prints are typically very durable—properly printed and cured transfers can withstand dozens of washes without cracking or peeling. Quality also depends on settings and materials.

DTF works on almost all fabrics, such as:

  • cotton
  • polyester
  • blended materials
  • vests, hoodies, jackets, etc.
    It works on both light and dark fabrics.

Standard instructions (approximate):

  • Temperature: around 140–160°C
  • Time: 10–15 s
  • Pressure: medium to high
  • Film removal: cold or hot (depending on film)
  • Re-press: 5–10 s for better durability
    These are typical guidelines; always check the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

Yes, it still requires regular maintenance, mainly due to white ink—it separates and can clog the print head, so regular cleaning is recommended.
