DTF (Direct To Film) printing is a technology that allows graphics to be printed on a special film using water-based inks and pigments. After printing, a hot-melt adhesive powder is applied to the back of the still-wet ink, which is then dried and fixed. Once ready, the printed film is transferred to the fabric using a heat press, activating the glue and permanently anchoring the design to the garment's fibers.

DTF is extremely versatile and can be applied to cotton, polyester, cotton/polyester blends, denim, nylon, synthetic leather, and many other technical fabrics. However, each material may require specific temperature, pressure, and time settings to ensure optimal adhesion and long-lasting transfer.

The durability of a DT F print depends primarily on the quality of the inks, adhesive powder, and film used, as well as proper application with the press. If produced with professional materials and applied correctly, a DTF print can withstand numerous washes without cracking or peeling. However, incorrect settings or aggressive washing can reduce its lifespan and compromise its appearance over time.

There are no single values ​​that apply to all materials: each film and glue manufacturer provides specific instructions for its product. In general, errors such as excessive temperature, excessive time, or insufficient pressure can cause poor adhesion, opacity, cracking, or damage to the film. For consistent results, it is essential to follow the supplier's specifications and test the parameters on the type of fabric being used.
