DTF Consumables for DTG Systems

Now you can use your DTG printer to print Direct to Film! Our DTF LINE supplies have been tested and qualified to work beautifully with DTG systems. You can still use your DTG ink, but instead of printing to a T-shirt, you will print to DTF sheets. Then apply DTF powder, heat, and press to your shirt. You can also change out your inks to DTF inks if you intend on using your DTG printer exclusively for DTF printing. Most DTG inks work just fine with DTF printing, but DTF inks are specially formulated (and have less clogging potential as compared to DTG inks), so unless you plan on continuing DTG printing, you can plan on changing your inks out to DTF for best long term results.
