How To Print On DTF Transfer Film
What is DTF printing?
DTF printing is a popular and reliable method for high-quality pattern production, which is easy to operate and transfer. This article will detail the working principle, advantages and why DTF printers have become the preferred technology for a variety of fabrics.
How to print on dtf transfer film?
1. Use the printing software of the DTF machine to print the picture. This DTF must be equipped with at least two nozzles, one nozzle for white ink and one nozzle for color ink. There are also four nozzles, two white ink and two color ink, which are fast, but the accuracy will be slightly reduced. During the printing process, the printer first prints the color picture on a special release printing film, and then prints a layer of white ink on the color picture.
2. Sprinkle hot melt powder. Sprinkle a layer of hot melt powder on the white ink. After sprinkling, a layer of hot melt powder will stick to the white ink. The blank area should be shaken clean, and the machine will have a shaking action, so some people also call this heat transfer process shaking powder heat transfer. Finally, bake the powder in the oven to dry it at a temperature of about 110 degrees.
3. Use a heat press to transfer the image to clothing or other products.
4. Complete the transfer: tear the film off the fabric (cold or hot depending on the type of film), and the heat press design will be transferred to the fabric.
