DTF transfer film, as a new type of transfer paper that is more convenient to use, offers more opportunities for creativity. In the future, DTF transfer film will be recognized and preferred by more individuals and manufacturers because of its high degree of freedom. This article compares and discusses the advantages and development potential of DTF transfer film.
Brief Introduction to DTF Transfer Film
DTF(Direct To Film) transfer film is an emerging transfer paper in the transferring market. Before reading the second part of the article, I would like to show you more about the unique technology of DTF transfer film.
In the technology of DTF transfer film, white ink is a breakthrough in the process of applying garment thermography using environmentally friendly coating technology. It solves the problem of the direct fabric spray printing process and can be used for transfer printing on T-shirts, team wear, uniforms, school wear, fitness wear, leather, handbags, wallets, suitcases, etc.
On the other hand, you don’t need to worry about color difference and color fastness, the pattern will be printed as you see it. The DTF powder can only be applied to the directly printed pattern. Then the powder is heated as an adhesive layer that can be applied to the substrates. It also eliminates the need for engraving to increase productivity. Any pattern can be used and cut automatically.
Advantages of DTF Transfer Film
DTF transfer film has different advantages like high quality, low cost, and so on. Maybe you cannot understand these advantages at once. We will describe these advantages by comparing DTF transfer film with other kinds of transfer paper.
●High Quality of Transfer Effect & Lower Cost & High Color Fastness
The pattern of DTF transfer film has vivid colors. You may think this is the same as the other types of transfer paper. But color is not the only thing that determines the look and feel of a pattern. In fact, the transfer effect of DTF has high glossiness like T-shirt transfer paper. The transfer effects of sublimation paper do not have this advantage.
Compared with sublimation paper and T-shirt transfer paper, DTF transfer film is cheaper in cost. The cheapest one is DTF transfer film and the most expensive one is T-shirt transfer paper. By the way, the color fastness of DTF transfer film is also very high. You can rub and wash at will without fear of color loss.
●High Speed of Production
The DTF transfer film has a high speed of production. First of all, you need to cover the pattern with DTF powder right after it is printed. Therefore, the process of printing and heating is very short. Secondly, the DTF transfer film can be peeled at high temperatures. This means you can save more time than waiting for the transfer paper to cool. Last but not least, it is much easier to mass produce than other transfer papers.
●No Limitation of Fabric & Blank Color
As all we know, the T-shirt transfer paper is used for the cotton fabric. The sublimation paper is only used for fabric that has more than 30% of polyester. So what kind of transfer paper can ignore the fabric limitation? The answer is DTF transfer film, which can be used on almost all textile fabrics, even high-temperature leather.
At the same time, the limitation of the fabric and blanks’ colors will also influence the transfer effect. When the pattern is dark, the pattern can’t be shown on the T-shirts through sublimation. Also, if you try to use dark T-shirt transfer paper, you must ensure the fabric of the T-shirt has more than 30% cotton. As a result, DTF transfer film will be a nice transfer paper to choose which can solve your problem with the limitation of fabric, and blank colors.
●Environmental Sustainability
Did you remember the technology referred to in the beginning? The technology of DTF’s white ink is environmentally friendly. Not only the white ink, but the other DTF inks are also eco-friendly. These inks are made of water-based materials. They have fewer harmful chemicals and less pollution to the environment than traditional solvent-based inks.
●DIY Custom Printing
According to the easy operation of DTF printing, DTF transfer film can be used by both individuals and manufacturers. The pattern will be printed and transferred as you want. You don’t need to worry about the machine and the special production techniques which are needed with other kinds of transfer paper. The things you need to do are just putting it in the machine, setting up the machine, and waiting for the result.
Future of DTF Transfer Film
The future of DTF transfer film has endless possibilities. The freedom of DTF operation and application is highly appreciated in the field of individual users. Manufacturers also appreciate the ease and low cost of DTF mass production. Whether using an oven or a powder shaker, our work can be done perfectly.
With the development of technology, the powder shaker will also be further iterated and updated to optimize the volume and production process. This will bring more convenience to manufacturers. In addition, the DTF transfer film production technology will also be improved and developed based on customer feedback. In the future, DTF transfer film, like other types of transfer paper, will have more types for consumers to choose from.
Conclusion
DTF Transfer Film is an emerging type of transfer paper. It has proven its practicality and convenience to the public with its effect on the transfer process. Both individuals and manufacturers should try DTF transfer film, which will bring you a new experience. As one of the manufacturers of DTF transfer film, we firmly believe that the future of DTF is bright.
