DTF (Direct To Film) printing is a digital printing technology that allows images and graphics to be printed on textiles. The process consists of printing with DTF CMYK+W ink onto a DTF PET film, automatically applying and fixing the adhesive powder to the printed graphics only, and transferring it using a thermal transfer press.
