DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing.

DTF printing, which stands for Direct-to-Film printing, has some great benefits compared to other methods like screen printing or heat transfer.

One of the biggest advantages is that DTF printing creates prints that are very detailed and colorful. These prints are also tough, meaning they won’t easily fade, crack, or peel over time, so they last a long time. Another cool thing about DTF printing is that it can be used on many types of fabrics.

You can print on cotton, polyester, and even blends of different materials.

This makes DTF printing a very flexible option for different projects. So, how does DTF printing work? It involves transferring designs onto fabric using a special film, ink, and adhesive powder. After that, a heat press is used to make the print stick to the fabric. Overall, DTF printing is a great choice for anyone looking to create high-quality designs on various fabrics.

File Formats Needed for DTF Printing

PNG:
The PNG file format is very popular for DTF printing. One of its best features is that it can have transparent backgrounds.

This is important when you want a design with clear and sharp edges.

For example, if you are printing a logo or a specific shape, a PNG file can help make the edges look neat and defined.

PDF:
PDF files are very flexible because they can contain multiple layers. They keep your design clear and detailed, which is perfect for DTF printing.

For DTF printing, high-resolution PNG files that are the same size as the transfer you need (or even larger) and vector file formats are the best choices. These formats also support transparency, which is necessary for DTF printing.

Although JPG files are a common image format, they can be risky. Any changes made to the original JPG file can lower the quality of your image!

Prices for DTF and HTV Heat Transfer Printing

The prices for DTF (Direct to Film) printing can change based on the size of the sheet and the supplier you choose.

For example, the printing and pressing of a T Shirt is R90.00, which includes VAT, but you need to provide the shirt yourself.

Here are some examples of T-shirt printing prices:

A4 size (28cm x 21cm): R90.00

Additionally, some suppliers provide custom sheet sizes, giving you options based on what you need. When you think about the total cost of DTF printing, don’t forget to include the price of other materials like ink and film. Also, consider the opportunity for discounts if you are ordering for a larger project.
