Direct to Film (DTF) printing has quietly evolved over the past quarter-century into a reliable and versatile method for producing vibrant, durable prints on a wide range of materials. While many see DTF as a recent innovation, its roots stretch back nearly 25 years. Fotees has been learning and adapting alongside the technology for years. This experience gives us unique insights into how to deliver premium DTF prints that stand out in feel and quality.
TESTIMONAL ~ "I can feel the difference between yours and theirs"
How DTF Printing Works
DTF printing involves printing designs onto a special film using water-based inks. The printed film is then coated with a powdered adhesive. After curing the adhesive, the film is heat-pressed onto the target material, transferring the design.
This process allows for:
Vibrant colors that pop on both light and dark fabrics
Strong adhesion that resists cracking and peeling
Versatility across cotton, polyester, blends, and even non-textile surfaces
