What is DTF film?

2023-01-12

DTF Film is a special film material for digital printing and thermal transfer printing. DTF stands for Direct to Film, it is a new type of transfer printing technology, different from traditional Heat Transfer Paper, it uses a special film material for transfer printing.

DTF film has the following characteristics:
1. Easy to operate: Compared with traditional thermal transfer paper, DTF film is easier to operate and use.
2. Bright colors: DTF film can achieve higher color saturation and more vivid color effects.
3. Strong durability: DTF film has high durability, and the pattern can remain clear and bright for a long time.
4. Wide applicability: DTF film is suitable for a variety of materials, including textiles, ceramics, metals, plastics, etc.

The steps of using DTF film generally include the following steps:
1. Design and prepare the pattern: Use design software to create the desired pattern and have it ready for transfer.
2. Print the pattern: Use a digital printer to print the pattern on the DTF film.
3. Thermal transfer printing: Lay the DTF film on the object to be transferred, and use special thermal transfer equipment for heating and pressure treatment to transfer the pattern to the surface of the object.
4. Cooling and curing: After the heat transfer is completed, let the object cool for a period of time, so that the pattern is solidified and firmly combined with the surface of the object.

In general, DTF film is an emerging transfer printing technology, which has the characteristics of easy operation, bright colors, strong durability and wide applicability, and can be widely used in the fields of digital printing and heat transfer printing.
