In today’s world of personalized and corporate textile products, printing technologies have advanced significantly. However, each method has its own advantages and ideal use cases. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at DTF (Direct to Film) printing, a method that has gained popularity in recent years. We’ll also explain why we at Afsor Baskı Tekstil prefer this method.

✅ What is DTF Printing?

DTF (Direct to Film) printing is a technique where special inks are printed onto a film and then transferred to the textile product using heat and pressure. The design is first printed onto a transfer film, covered with adhesive powder, and finally heat-pressed onto the garment.

Main benefits of DTF printing:

Can be applied to any fabric color (white, black, red, etc.)
Produces detailed and vivid designs
Durable, resistant to washing and wear
Suitable for fast and scalable production with stock printing options

🆚 How Does it Compare to Other Printing Methods?

🎨 Compared to Screen Printing:

Screen printing requires a separate stencil for each color. DTF allows multi-color printing in one go.
DTF is more cost-effective for small batches, while screen printing is better for large quantities.

💻 Compared to Digital Printing:

DTF is more durable than standard digital prints.
Produces more vibrant colors, especially on dark fabrics.
