Introduction Sublimation paper is a specialty paper designed to hold sublimation ink without absorbing it, allowing for the transfer of prints onto sublimation blanks. This paper is not like the ordinary paper we use in inkjet printers – it has some special features. Although a variety of transfer papers are used for printing purposes, sublimation […]
With the rise of the custom apparel industry, DTF shirt printing is becoming increasingly popular. And why not? DFT technology offers ultimate benefits. The custom DTF shirt printing businesses around the world are earning billions of dollars annually. Precisely, DTF(direct-to-film printing) involves printing designs on a PET film using DTF inks and then transferring those […]
Introduction Two printing powerhouses dominate the market today. UV DTF transfers offer flexibility for use on any surface. In contrast, UV flatbed printers deliver precision direct printing. Using the same UV technology but serving different purposes– that’s the core of these printing technologies. Curious to know more about it? This article provides an in-depth analysis […]
Introduction DTF Printing vs. Heat Transfer Vinyl– What’s more favorable? For apparel decorators and small printing businesses, this question is valuable. So, we decided to talk about it. Although DTF is a relatively new technique introduced in the early 2000s, its outstanding results have led to its widespread adoption in the printing industry. However, before […]

One of the crucial components of DTF printing is the DTF powder. Yes! It’s the backbone of the entire process. The right powder can elevate your printing game. However, the two widely used colors of DTF powder play a significant role here: black and white. Black DTF powder is used for dark-colored fabrics, while the […]
Introduction When it comes to fabric printing, several technologies come into play: DTF (Direct-to-film), DTG (Direct-to-garment), Screen printing, and HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl), among others. Each one serves the demanding industry trends. For the modern textile printing industry, DTG printing is a great technique that brings intricate designs to life. Although it isn’t a new […]
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) and screen printing are two staple methods in the textile printing business. Screen printing has been around for centuries, while DTG first came up in the 1990s. Today, these two methods are often pitted against one another, as they both print directly onto the substrate. However, these two are distinctively different from each […]
DTF powder is a crucial component of DTF transfer technology. It enables prints to adhere to the surface, serving as the foundation for high-quality, durable DTF transfers. DTF powder exhibits various characteristics, and selecting the optimal particle size can be a challenging task. When classifying hot melt powders, you may encounter various compositions, including TPU, […]
