What are DTF PreTreat Sheets, technically speaking?

DTF PreTreat Sheets are proprietary DTF branded, DTF transfer sheets or transfer film. If that was a mouthful, don't worry, here is what you really need to know.

How do I use DTF PreTreat Sheets?

DTF TRANSFER is accomplished using DTF PreTreat Sheets (aka Transfer Sheets), and DTF Powder (aka DTF Transfer Powder).

First, you print (using your DTG or DTF machine, with textile ink or DTF ink) to DTF PreTreat Sheets or Rolls; then cover your print with DTF PreTreat Powder ? powder; and heat press it to your Garments or Textiles. You can either print in COLOR, for transfer to WHITE textiles, or you can print 1 layer of COLOR then 1 layer of WHITE, if you're transfering to DARK / BLACK textiles.

But what's the benefit of DTF (Direct to Film) if the purpose of DTG is, by definition, Direct To Garment, and with DTF you're introducing a transfer sheet?

Traditional transfer printing been around for ages, and specifically used in the heat transfer or sublimation print markets. So what are the benefits of DTF? There are a few actually, and they are significant:

  1. DTF allows for transfers to dark shirts (due to white DTF ink) - something regular heat transfers can't do
  2. DTF results in more breathable prints, smooth to touch, and flexible - something regular heat transfers can't do
  3. DTF does not require cutting out the image on the transfer - something regular heat transfers can't do
  4. DTF results in more vivid colors than heat transfers

OK, so the above shows the substantial advantages that DTF offers over HEAT TRANSFER (or even SUBLIMATION). But what benefits does DTF have over DTG?

Well there are 2, and they are also substantial:

  1. DTF eliminates the need for PRETREATMENT! No more extra pretreatment / chemical steps for your dark shirt prints. Eliminate the hassle of pretreatment by using DTF PreTreat Powder and DTF PreTreat Sheets
  2. DTF allow you to get your printed images to MANY MORE materials and substrates (Lycra, cotton, nylon, swimsuit fabrics, high-elasticity fabrics, chemical fiber or shoes , hats, bags etc)

And best of all, PROFESSIONAL DTF's PROFESSIONAL DTFducts with Epson DTG inks and machines!

WARNING: WARNING: WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA and use Protective Equipment (including masks and gloves) when working with specialty printing and curing products and processes (including DTF, DTG, UV etc.) as fumes and processes may be hazardous. We highly recommend the use of a fume extractor when working with DTF powder in addition to good ventilation and filtration in your work area. The use of all specialty ink printing equipment and supplies such as inks, chemicals, powders etc. are at the sole risk of the user. Specialty inks and film require a good humidity and temperature environment (55% - 75% humidity, and 75° to 80°F) to minimize risk of ink clogs and film buckling.

DTF (Direct to Film) ink is used in a process where designs are printed onto a special film (DTF film) and then transferred to fabric using heat, allowing for vibrant and durable prints on various materials. DTG (Direct to Garment) ink, on the other hand, is directly applied to the fabric using specialized printers, offering high-quality prints primarily on cotton-based textiles. DTG and DTF inks are different, however DTG inks used in DTG printers can be used to perform DTF processes with some slight adjustments to time / pressure / temp settings on the powder curing and/or heat press side of things. If you are planning to utilize your DTG printer for DTF printing processes, you also want to pick films that are best suited for your DTG… See full answer »
