How does printing on to DTF film work?
To print on to DTF transfer film, you’ll need specialist DTF equipment like DTF printers that can print with DTF inks and a powder adhesive. The DTF printer will print your design in reverse order, starting with the white ink layer, then the colour ink layer, and finally the adhesive layer. Then, you need to add DTF powder on the adhesive layer and shake off the excess. The DTF pretreat powder will stick to the adhesive and form a solid layer. Next, you need to heat press the PET film on to your desired substrate, such as fabric, leather and wood. The heat transfer will activate the adhesive and bond the design to the substrate. Finally, you need to peel off the film and reveal your transferred design.
How do I test the quality and performance of PET DTF film before using it for a large project?
You can test the quality and performance of DTF films by doing some small-scale experiments, such as:
- DTF printing a sample design on a small piece of film, and checking the ink coverage, clarity, and colour accuracy.
- Applying the film to a small piece of substrate, and checking the adhesion, peeling, and transfer effect.
- Washing and wearing the substrate, and checking the durability, washability, and stretchability of the design.
- Comparing the film with other films or printing methods, and evaluating the advantages and disadvantages.
