DTF (Direct to Film) is a printing technique that was designed to directly apply images to various surfaces such as fabric, wood or glass. It involves printing a pattern in CMYK colors on a special PET transfer foil and then transferring the print to clothing using a thermal transfer press.

Advantages:

• Low circulation
• High quality printing
• Possibility of application on various shapes
• No problems with the ground

Defects:

• Printing time for large order quantity

In this method, the paint is first applied to the transfer paper, and then, using a thermal press, to the material. The transfer press, with appropriate pressure and temperature, heats the paint onto the product. We use it on mainly textile materials (cotton, polyester, etc.)

ADVANTAGES:

• application durability

• high color saturation

• attractive appearance

DISADVANTAGES:

• additional pre-press costs

• no possibility to make tonal transitions

• a limited number of colors

• a time-consuming method

• the cost of prepress

This method comes from hand-embroidery that was already used in ancient times. The whole process begins with the creation of an embroidery software. Afterward the pattern is embroidered on fabric.
