Consumables
Direct-to-film (DTF) printing has taken the custom printing industry by storm and for good reasons. It’s versatile, produces gorgeous, vibrant design transfers, and is compatible with different materials. But to unlock its full potential, you need the right consumables. This collection features DTF powders, inks, and other essentials to ensure a professional-grade outcome with every print.
DTF Ink
DTF ink, or film ink, is specially formulated for printing. It delivers vibrant colors and optimum opacity to create eye-popping prints on various materials. DTF ink works seamlessly with the film and powder to ensure quality and long-lasting results.
Here are the steps for using the film ink effectively:
1.Fill the Printer: Load your DTF printer with the appropriate color cartridges.
2.Print Your Design: Place the film into the printer to produce the design. Make sure you adjust the settings for DTF printing to get the best results.
3.Combine With DTF Powder: After printing the layout, follow the above steps to complete the transfer.
DTF Powder
Also known as hot-melt adhesive powder, DTF powder is a finely milled powder that melts when heated. It’s specially formulated to ensure the design sticks to the garment for a lasting print.
Using hot-melt adhesive powder is a piece of cake. Here are the steps to follow to ensure a durable design:
1.Produce the Design: Print the design on the DTF film using a direct-to-film printer.
2.Apply the Powder: While the ink is still wet, evenly coat the film with DTF powder to cover the printed design.
3.Shake off the Excess: Shake the film off to remove excess powder.
4.Cure the Powder: Heat the powdered film in the oven to melt the powder. That way, when pressed onto the garment, you’ll create a strong adhesive.
DTF Film
DTF film is a thin, transparent sheet used in direct-to-film printing. This film is where you print the graphics before transferring them to the garment. It holds the ink and powder together for flawless and accurate transfers.
Using a DTF sheet involves the following steps:
1.Print Your Design: Insert the film into the printer to print the layout.
2.Apply the DTF Powder: Sprinkle the powder on the wet ink, as discussed earlier.
3.Cure and Transfer: Pop the film in the oven to cure the powder. Once cured, press it onto the garment using a heat press, then peel off the film to reveal the finished product.
