Direct-to-garment printing (DTG) is a process of printing on textiles using specialized aqueous ink jet technology. DTG printers typically have a platendesigned to hold the garment in a fixed position, and the printer inks are jetted or sprayed onto the textile by the print head. DTG typically requires that the garment be pre-treated with a PTM or pre-treatment machine, allowing for the following:
• Stronger bond between garment fibers and the pigmented inks
• Flattening of loose fibers to provide a smoother substrate
• Chemical reactions with the inks that promote drying and curing
Since this is a digital process, the print is sharper and has a higher resolution, or DPI, than traditional printing methods such as screen printing. Unlike screen printing, there is no long setup or clean-up process, and DTG printing has the ability to print a single shirt for minimal cost.[1]
Direct-to-film (DTF) printing is a process that uses specialized inks to print high-resolution images onto PET film. The printed film is then transferred onto a variety of materials using a heat press. DTF printing is a good option for complex, multi-color designs on smaller quantities.
How does DTF printing work?
1 Print a design onto PET film using a DTF printer and DTF ink
2 Use a heat press or curing oven to melt hot-melt powder onto the film
3 Transfer the design onto a garment using the heat press
What do I need for DTF printing?
• DTF printer
• PET film
• DTF printing software
• DTF printing ink
• Hot-melt adhesive powder
• Heat press machine or curing oven
• Quality control tools
Benefits of DTF printing Durable and wash-resistant, Can withstand higher temperatures than heat-transfer vinyl, Works with a wide range of fabrics, Vibrant colors and sharp details, and Cost-effective for small designs.
