Flat is Where it’s At with Direct Transfer Film Printers
DTF Direct to Film printing also has the advantage that you would be printing on a custom film that lays flat within your printer. The print step and the application step can be done separately. You now are printing on a very flat substrate, so you don’t have to worry about wrinkles or printer head strikes that can sometimes happen with other methods.
Direct-to-film printing is accomplished by using a direct-to-film printer on a special transfer paper. Once you run the pattern or design through your printer, you will then coat the print with a unique hot melt adhesive powder on the back of the pattern of the printing film. The last step is to put the fabric into the heat press for pressing.
The direct-to-film printer is controlled by specialized software that allows you to control each layer of the print, and the print is done in reverse. The fine adhesive powder is very clean and fast to apply.
Even More Features of DTF Printers
Direct-to-film printing can also be printed clearly for tiny craft lines and small letters. Direct to film printing also means you don’t have to worry about chromatic aberration and colorfastness. The ink, once cured, is locked in color and so you don’t have to worry about it changing color over time.
The patterns and text printed by the direct to film printer are very clear, and the hot stamping prevents fibrillation that sometimes happens with traditional methods. |
