The process of DTF Printing lets creators, manufacturers and producers transfer prints onto fabric and other substrates using a heat-press mechanism. The DTF method can work on cotton and poly blends.
The demand for printed fabrics, garments and apparel, is at an all-time high. This printed and branded-goods market is showing no sign of decline. In fact, with so many new post-pandemic small businesses being started, the opportunities are endless. Direct-to-Film printing (DTF) is an exciting technique that has taken the garment printing world by storm. It is quicker, more accurate, repeatable and cost-efficient.
For our customers who have orders that need to be fulfilled, we will not be dispatching on this Wednesday, as we are moving our dispatch department to the new warehouse. We will dispatch once we are set up at our new Sunnyrock Warehouse. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Direct-to-Film printing is where a design or image is printed to a receptor film sheet and then transferred with heat and pressure fabric. Quick. simple. clean.
With this demand, comes the need to deliver more versatile cost-effective projects, with shorter turnarounds with more accuracy and consistency. The Direct-to-Film technique lends itself to all these requirements with a much smaller setup cost. You can simply repurpose an Epson ecotank home/office printer, and by using the Direct-to-film Ink, Direct-to-film Adhesive Powder, Direct-to-film Film Sheets and a heat-press start the next creative t-shirt empire or branded-garment empire.
DTF powder has been specifically formulated for use with DTF printing. When printing using a DTF or DTG printer, you will first need to print to the DTF sheets / film. Then, add DTF powder to cover the print before curing. Unlike regular heat transfers, you can print one layer of colour and one layer of white and transfer it to dark textiles. Similarly, you can print in colour and then transfer to white textiles. By introducing the transfer film, you will achieve high-quality, breathable and smooth prints. Plus, the colours will be more vivid compared to using the heat transfer process.
Watch below to see how the DTF process can be used to heat press onto a t-shirt:
