Custom clothing has become a popular way to show off creativity, promote a brand, or create something special for events. If you're looking for high-quality printing that lasts, DTF printing (Direct to Film) is one of the best options today.
At East London Printer, we offer professional DTF printing services for all kinds of garments. Whether it’s for your business, team, or a personal project, our printing gives you bright, clean results every time.
Let’s explore why DTF printing is a smart and simple way to bring your designs to life.
What is DTF (Direct to Film) Printing?
DTF means Direct to Film. This method prints your design onto a clear film, then transfers it onto fabric using heat and adhesive powder. It's quick, clean, and works on many types of material.
Unlike older methods like screen printing or DTG (Direct to Garment), DTF can handle both small and large orders without needing special treatments or large machines.
How DTF Printing Works
Here’s a simple step-by-step look at the DTF process:
- Artwork Preparation
You provide us with your artwork. It can be a logo, text, photo, or any design. - Printing on Film
We print your design onto a clear film using special DTF inks. The print is mirrored so it transfers correctly. - Apply Powder Adhesive
A glue powder is sprinkled on the back of the film. This helps it stick to the fabric later. - Curing the Film
The printed film is heated to melt and set the adhesive. - Heat Transfer to Fabric
The film is placed on your garment and pressed with a heat press. Once cooled, the film is peeled off, leaving the design on the fabric.
That’s it! You get a colourful, soft, and long-lasting print in just a few steps.
