The Power of DTF Printing

Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is revolutionising the textile printing industry by offering an efficient and versatile way to create vibrant, detailed prints on a wide range of fabrics. This technology eliminates many of the challenges associated with traditional printing methods, such as screen printing. DTF works by printing the design directly onto a special film, which is then transferred to the fabric using heat and pressure.

DTF Printing Process

1. Design: Use any design software to create your artwork. The flexibility of the design process allows you to print intricate designs with high resolution.
2. Print: Print your design onto the film using a specialised DTF printer, such as the Mimaki TX150-75, which offers excellent print quality and efficiency.
3. Powdering: The printed film is passed through a DTF shaker, where it is automatically coated with powder, dried, and prepared for transfer.
4. Heat Transfer: Using a heat press, transfer the design onto the fabric in a process that typically takes just 15 seconds, ensuring a flawless and long-lasting transfer.

DTF printing is a game-changer, offering superior colour vibrancy, fine detailing, and faster setup times compared to traditional screen printing. Plus, it’s a versatile solution that works on various fabric types, making it perfect for businesses that want to expand their product offerings.

GSW’s Textile Printing Solutions

Beyond DTF, GSW also offers a range of advanced textile printers and printing solutions designed to meet different needs:

• Dye Sublimation Printing with Heatpress: Using advanced printers, dye sublimation involves printing onto specialised paper and then transferring the design to textiles via a heat press. This method is ideal for vibrant, long-lasting prints on polyester fabrics.
• Direct-to-Textile Printing: With direct-to-textile printing, you can print directly onto fabrics, eliminating the need for transfer paper. This process simplifies production and reduces time while maintaining high quality.
• Direct-to-Natural Textile Printing: Exclusive to GSW, this solution allows printing directly onto natural fabrics using specialised Mimaki TX Series printers and eco-friendly inks. This method ensures vibrant colours and quality finishes on natural materials, such as cotton and linen.
