Custom DTF Printing – Ready to Press
DTF (Direct To Film) printing is a modern textile printing technology that transfers a high-definition visual onto fabric using a heat-transfer film.
With our custom DTF printing service, you send us your file, and we take care of printing it onto DTF film ready to be applied. You receive a press-ready sheet, with no cutting or weeding required.
🔹 What is DTF?
DTF involves printing your design onto a special film, then heat-transferring it onto the fabric.
Unlike other techniques, DTF:
- applies to cotton, polyester, blends, light or dark fabrics
- offers intense, opaque colours
- retains excellent durability over time
It is an ideal solution for professionals and individuals alike.
🔹 Available formats
We offer DTF printing in various formats (A4, A3, custom sheets, etc.), depending on your needs.
Each sheet can contain one or several visuals, depending on your file.
👉 Tip: optimising the space on your sheet reduces the cost per print.
🔹 How to apply your DTF (Application steps)
- Prepare the fabric
- The fabric must be clean and dry
- Pre-heat it for 3 to 5 seconds to remove any moisture
- Position the DTF film
- Place the film print side against the fabric
- Adjust the position precisely
- Heat pressing
- Temperature: 150 to 160°C
- Pressure: medium to firm
- Time: 10 to 15 seconds
- Removing the film
- Let it cool slightly
- Remove the film cold or warm (depending on the desired finish)
Finishing press (recommended)
- Cover with a protective sheet
- Press again for 5 seconds
👉 This improves durability and feel
⚠️ Important points to follow
